augh, is it spring yet? Somehow managed to break the pinky toe on my left foot last night. i was loading stuff up and kicked a bar stool i couldn't see. It is a pretty shade of purple and was pointing an odd direction this morning. A popsickle stick and some duct tape and all is good now. Also slipped on the ice today and my right knee no longer works on stairs. I'm starting to think i should just wrap myself in pillows and bubble wrap before i do anything anymore. I am such a klutz... It is funny trying to limp with both legs tho....

Show was epic last night. The crew was wound up from the big announcement and just threw down. If they can pull the same energy at Sokol with Silverstein, they are going to tear the house down.

Be interesting to hear how the race meeting went yesterday. Don't really care to much, my race season is already over. Think this will be an underground fun type of race year for me.

is it spring yet?

sweet, gotta love good news. Just got this announcement from the band guys...

4/21/2010 8:00 PM at Sokol Underground W/ Silverstein, Gravecandy Vampire, Kakarot!, and What Dwells Within.

Wooo! Got a gig with a national touring band! Time to get some merch together and finish the ep so these boys can make some money finally!!!

They are playing rebels in CB tomorrow night if anyone is up for a cheap gig. Always great to hang out with mark and the crew there. He is really trying to make something out of a rough past...

Wow, wish it would get warmer. Way to much band posts and way too little trail work/riding ramblings....

Other ramblings....got hosed on the beetle title again, for the 3rd time. Missing another part of paperwork. Be another 45+ days before i can try again. Thinking that she might just get the civic for now and sell the beetle when/if i ever get a title. Then i can use that money to get the punk a small pickup or something to haul his gear with. I did manage to score an old impreza with a broken timing belt. Hoping with any luck it didn't hit any valves and i can have something cheap to drive once kiddo starts driving.

Did i mention nyquil and warfarin is a bad combo no matter what the pharm tech says? Ya, reaaaly bad idea. Got my head ripped off by the doc for that one...

THOR meeting Feb 6th. Click the thor link for more details. Wish i could be there but I had to trade weekends for the imba meeting and don't have the chance to swap anymore days for awhile. I really look forward to the changes coming down the line for the group. Hope it all works out for the best.

With any luck i'll be able to get out to the imba trail days and help out with the new adams trail. Be really nice to have the crew ride tranq while they are in town but with current weather, that probably won't happen.

I'm sick again and can't tale anything with the thinners so i'm going to bed...

Man, what a weekend. I am cooked. A weekend full of being a roadie was alot for this old fart. Overall a very good time for all...

Big thanks to Paul for the hookup on some cymbals. Thanks to Guido for some other cymbals, gig bags and advice from an old touring pro. Thanks to JD Drums for dropping everything to help us out on a Sunday 2 hours before show time. Definitely a quality outfit... Thanks to the venues for giving the up and coming bands a shot to play. Only can hope for bigger and better in the future...







Rambling on me. Didn't get released last week from the doc. They put me in an ankle brace for a month. I also get to ride in it for 3 months after i get off the blood thinners. He felt with my history of being hard on my body, better safe than sorry. Been spinning on the bike trainer a bit. Doc said 15 min a couple times a week and ramp it up from there....

wow

Where oh where have my calf muscles gone...
Such a depressing pic. My left leg is sooo skinny now and so weak. I get to attempt walking again this weekend after 6 weeks+ on crutches. It has not been pretty so far. Doc advised walking around the house instead of trial by fire of walking around for 8 hours at work. It's gonna be a long year...




If anything good comes out of all this at least i'll be walking for the punks upcoming shows. The sound is really coming together and each song gets better. Anyones kiddies are into the popcore/screamo type bands come on out to the shows...

Oh yea,
Happy New Year everyone! Maybe it be much better than the last...
