Woohoo, good news considering..
Got staples out today, everything looks good. Man, i'm gonna have a wicked scar... Got my ghetto cast on and hopefully will be in a walking boot in 3 weeks. Got released for work but with no weight bearing and on crutches. It won't be easy but with vacation time running out, it's all i got.

Looks like ya'll are getting some good rides in while the weather is still good. Wish i was out there with ya... It is giving me more time to plot out my project for next season. We will have to see what this little mishap is going to cost me first...

Enjoy the ride!

I'm home from surgery and all went well. Off my feet for 72hrs and digging the percocet. They used a blocker on me, never had one of those before. Must work good, i still can't wiggle my toes. Guess it can take 24 hrs or so to wear off.

Good luck to all doing the cross races this weekend. Have fun at Cc you guys. Wish i was out there with ya....

Back to napping!

Ahh, the car i never should have sold. In reality, i'm glad i sold it and i know where it is still. It has undergone a full resto (actually 2) sense i sold it. I never would have done anything more than continue butchering it in the desire to go faster. Watching these sell on ebay for 50k+ is a bitter pill to swallow. Someday, i'll have another and have to common sense to keep it a driver instead of a race car....

Heh, found an old box of pics while looking for my crate 'o novels. Note to self: clean scanner and pics before scanning...

The mighty Dak. The poor life this thing lived. Whether it was getting beat to death at the auto crosses or dragging my coronet around. It met it's fate coming home from Scribner one day. A head on with a redneck took it out of commission...

Last 2 pics are from Nationals. I towed my roommates lt1 camaro down to the race and he snapped a cam during practice. We ended up with 4 people racing a dead stock v-6 Dakota in ESP. The announcer had a ball with the tow vehicle racing. I took home 3rd against tri-power vettes and modded mustangs. It was a riot...

well, i am officially screwed. Went to the ortho today and got my x-rays redone. Lower fracture is healing nicely. Upper fracture has completely separated from the bone. I thought it was hurting a little more yesterday. I go in friday to get plates/screws installed. Off work for 3 weeks minimum. They put me on crutches today and pulled my work release. It could be 8 weeks after surgery before i'll get to be without a cast, sooner if all goes well. Man, this is almost February before i'll be mobile again...

Finally got the xray to post right. Amazing two little breaks can cause so much pain. I like the lovely shade of purple that my foot is turning too. Got the speach on not elevating my foot enough. Guess i'm gonna have to work harder at resting...ha.

Ahhh, what a weekend! Got out to Calvin Crest for some trail work. We added close to a mile of pretty technical trail. Wish i could have rode it... Unfortunately, my ego got the best of me. I'm pretty good at cleaning difficult sections and when Dale told me that they couldn't clean a section the other day, i knew i had to go for it. Ya, i didn't clean it either. Fell off a bank with my left foot clipped in and fractured 2 bones in my ankle. Now it's off to the doc to decide what they are going to do with it... The xrays aren't exciting enough to post, so i'll leave them for later...

**Edit** I guess i didn't break 2 bones but one bone twice. The breaks are about 3" apart on the minor ankle bone. Get to go in next week and they are going to decide if i am going to need plates/screws. Hopefully i will just get stuck in this boot for 4 weeks and be good to go. Either way, i'm done till the new year pretty much. So many things planned for the trails...guess they will still be there in the spring...
