Well, you may remember that I've taken up mountain bike riding. Got a new
bike on Tuesday and decided that I needed to take a trail ride. Great bike,
great trail. Well, I made it out of the woods and was going through my cool
down. That's when I noticed that they still had the lights on at the BMX
track. Been there and done that before, and it's alot of fun.

Well, new bike didn't like jumps too well but took the first one with ease.
The second one was a table-top type of jump where to get air, then come down
on the downhill side. Ok, this was where the trouble began. Handlebars must
have been loose in the neck and slipped, causeing me to almost castrate
myself! I hit the upper bar between my legs, bounced off of the bike, then
down the hill on my head. My helmet is toast, but my head is fine (I think).

X-Rays show two breaks... I show alot of pain!

Down but not out...

Couldn't make it to the NWC, then planned an overnight trip to Lake

for Friday night with Justin Hires... but now I can't make that trip.

Now, I'm laid up here at the house with my pelvis broken in two places.
:-( Doc says I'll be off the water for at least a month, maybe two.

Please
do me a favor and tell me how bad fishing is this time of year. Ok?

Hope everyone at the NWC has a great time... and Steve, keep us informed.


If nobody else is gonna ask, I will...
What the heck did you do to yourself son?!?!?
