Welllllllllll...f*ck

Sorry for the late reply guys, the painkillers knocked me out pretty good yesterday. Wife's driving me to work so I'll just reply to everyone here...

Thanks Zero...and I see what you did there!

Sounds like a plan. I'll heckle/cheer you on man! You don't mind me launching water ballons at you either do ya? And I'll make sure I bring my helmet and bite plate for the Fat P. Fortunately (or unfortunately) I've got lots of experience on crutches. Few beers and I'll be bustin' air reverses on those things.

Well you should have seen me when it happenned. The wife was happy it was just the vice grips that I tried to punch through the fence instead of my fist, else I'd have two casts now. Once I calmed down...meh, I've had worse and there are plenty of people that have it far worse than I.

I knew this guy (below), grew up in my neighborhood. Never had much for parents, always getting in trouble. Later in life he got his act together and had a beautiful family (4 kids) and was all into fitness and cycling. Now he's dead because a stupid POS ran him over passing a truck on a blind curve over a double yellow line. So yeah, this ain't nuttin'.

Thanks LazyE. Chicks dig a boot? ha! Said no chick ever!

Thanks Seldom! Hell make it three. Utah needs three.

Thanks Yank! Maybe I should take up trolling...

I'm going to try my best to not be too sedentary. Keep up the upper body and core workouts, can still work the right leg. Can't let atrophy set in or will be even hard to get back into it. And once I get this cast off can at least paddle the board around, keep the shoulders in shape.

Thanks KR! Wonder if I can work the sponge with just one flipper...and I'll try to live up to your expectations with the posts!

Thanks Clemmy, didn't think of that. The doc martens should fit the bill.

Thanks Rileybear. Writing props from the SI resident nobel laureate? I'm honored sir.

 

Yeah, although I'm pretty sure the cat is the mastermind behind it all. She's the puppeteer pulling the strings.

Lolz! Did you say "Oh snap!" when the cops appeared.

Thanks DonQ, I'll be chasing windmills uh I mean shifty EC peaks in no time.

Warm and fuzzy it is, thanks!

Such a hellion. I can't be associated with such types, being that I was a perfect angel when I was a wee lad. Still polishing that halo everyday!

I hear ya man and know what you mean. When I was suffering from chronic back issues they had me on vicodin. I'd take it for a week then go cold turkey and just suffer through it. That stuff is crazy addictive. Fortunately one of the side effects of beating the crap out of my body all these years is its driven up my pain threshold, so after a couple days should be able to just ditch the pills.

Thanks to all for the well wishes!

 

Thanks man! I'll be back in no time with my trademark cartwheel-to-scorpion move.

 

I hear ya Slash and thanks! I'm just happy no surgery and other than the chunk of bone that came off there's no other damage. No ripped ligaments or anything like that.

Definitely gonna keep busy. Been working on a short-story I'm getting close to finishing and can still make band practice every Thursday night. Now that we've finally got the new drummer up to speed we're going to hopefully finish the rest of the album soon.

Plus I've got tix to see Jim Bruer Friday night and tix for Mastodon\Clutch Saturday night. Good thing I've got experience with drinkin' and crutchin'.

Life is still good, this is just a bump in the road.

 

Whaddup Slash...sorry didn't reply sooner, work is hell this week. Sucks about your ankle man. Funny thing is I was just talking to another forum HOF'er yesterday and they f'd up themselves in the shorepound too. IIRC there was a thread a while back about how people seem to get jacked up way more screwing around in shorepound or small waves + shallow water. I would agree with that.

Hopefully the MRI will turn out ok, doc told me breaks (esp. where I broke it - the fibula) are better and faster to heal than ligaments, and can cause more long term problems. I'd be very careful about it. I'm glad I actually listened to the doc and stayed off mine completely for the first two weeks. I was able to do some light swimming and some flat-water lake SUPing last weekend and have been able to get in other workouts for over week now. Still using the boot when I work out JIC but I've been riding the stationary bike lifting weight and stuff w\o any problem.

I go for (hopefully) my final x-ray 6/26 and if all goes well I'm leaving there and heading for straight for CB.

As for raising hell...yep still keeping that going. In fact I'm even more of a PITA now. Idle hands for the devil and all that.

 

Broken ribs suck. Busted mine from a fall rock climbing. Took a lot of beer to get me off the couch that night.

Novel I'm going to release as a serial like the old school sci-fi stuff. Hopefully the first release will generate enough interest and people will want more. First draft is done and farmed out to some of my geeky sci-fi reading peeps. Feedback is positive so far. Soon as I get all the feedback in and do the last rev I'll be putting it out, but not sure exactly how I'm going to release it yet.

Album is moving along finally. Took like a year to get the drummer up to speed but we're close to gig ready and we're starting to work on getting the rest of the songs recorded for the full length release. We have 3 in the can so far, two have been mixed by our guru (John Plymale) but none have been mastered yet. We have 6 more to get in the can (one is WIP rt now) then after John works his magic will send it off to Brent Lambert to get it mastered, then release.

PM me if you want to check out our band's website. And thanks for asking bro!

 

Enjoy it while it lasts Fitz...I'll be out cartwheeling down waves soon. Get ready for it to go flat like a pancake soon too..
