    First you broke your bike and now your toe? There’s gotta be a story, or maybe we can all take turns making one up:Roflmao:gag::rolleyes:.

    Heal fast and buy a new bike already so we can tear sh!t up at Kokopelli.

    @Voodoo Tom, just saw you got all puny, hope you are back to 100%. :thumbsup:

    @Luis, WTH!? Ingrown toenail, gout, or dropped a flower vase on it? Heal up! Until then, ride with Tevas and flats... :cool:

    It was a work related injury.
    My guys at the parts counter were trying to be nice to a transient that asked if he could get a cup of coffee. The problem was that someone was servicing the machine at the time so he started to get impatient and agitated.
    He then starts to get loud and vulgar so the guys go find me to let me know what’s up. I then walk up to the customer waiting area and ask the dude what’s up. He points over to the coffee machine and complains that the guy working on the machine is taking too long. I look at him and tell him that he had to be patient or come back later. He loses it and starts yelling and cussing. That’s when I “kindly “ ask him to leave.
    As he’s fumbling for the door he throws a cookie that he had grabbed off the counter at me, then a napkin.
    He sees that I’m coming for him so he bolts out the door with me walking after him. At the parking lot he tries to pick up a heavy post to fling in my direction but realizes it’s too heavy so he throws it in my direction.
    I kicked the Sh!t out of the post to show him I wasn’t scared...

    And that your honor, is the reason I got the boo boo on my toe...

    The nail turned black and when I went to the clinic, they took xrays to make sure it wasn’t broken. Then the doc burned a hole in the nail to get the blood out.

    Moral of the story. Maybe buy steel toed Doc Martins :cautious::whistling:

    A left footed kick! You were probably a bit tricky to mark on the football pitch.

    (See that's British English for "you were probably a bit tricky to defend on the soccer field")

    Hahaha good catch. I’m right foot/handed but I skated and surf goofy foot. I jump with my left leg. When I start to pedal from a dead stop, it’s with my left. Whenever I fall off the bike, it doesn’t matter :laugh:

    Do you ride your bike goofy foot? When you coast, which foot is forward?

    For me: I'm right handed. I skate, surf, snowboard, and bike regular foot (left foot forward).
    Soccer - ambidextrous (shoot left footed or right)
    Hockey - left hand shot
    Long and triple jump - left foot. (right-right-left in the triple)

    Holy sh!t that’s a way better story than I was thinking. Too bad you didn’t hurt it kicking him in the azz.

    Because it was supposed to rain all day and I didn't make any plans for the 2-3 window we just might have. It's all good though because I volunteered to go on a Costco run with Jennifer. Major points scored. I didn't tell her the only reason I wanted to go was to get some poke.

    That looks downright yummy! Unless that's an IPA next to the plate. ;) But, with poke, I s'pose it works.

    Tracking the elusive Abominable Snow Weazl.


    That was yesterday. Today? Looks like 5” of new, my thermo says 1 degrees. Looks like good conditions for big tires. The mud is frozen.

    Went and got a newspaper, did my three crosswords including the NY Times X-word. I was not on the constructor's wavelength. Took me an inordinate amount of time to complete. Several write-overs.

    I had two Barnes & Noble gift cards staring at me, so now I have new reading material.

    Walked the kid through her tax returns on TurboTax this afternoon. How can a part time Target employee, in college, owe the state? She did.

    Now to have an iconic - it must be, it says so in the name - Hangar 24 DIPA and read about how Top Gun came about, from the LCDR who started it in 1969. They were in Hangar 1 next door when I was at Miramar. So far it's a good tale.

    Maybe I'll ride tomorrow. :whistling:

    Daddy - daughter day. 8 fun runs at Mt. High. No pics, so it didn't happen.



    Actually, I lied. Here is the one pic I took, on the drive home:

    I left my phone in my car and was too lazy to go back and get it. I did update my post ^^^ with the only photo I took. I endangered her life by snapping an over-the-shoulder shot on the drive home.
