    Going under the knife tomorrow....yay!!!! Hoping for some relief afterwards....and perhaps getting caught up on some sleep. This injury has made sleeping a chore. Only getting a few hours a night.

    With that said, if for some reason I don't come out the other side in my last Will and Testament I'm leaving a few of you guys some things.....

    @herzalot You get my SS. I know you will ride it and appreciate it in the ways it should be.
    @Lost Kiwi You get my tools. You will need them to keep theProfessor's bike running.
    @Stkx66 You get my Hightower...because we know you need another one.
    @Mikie You get one last Alabama jab...so maybe Arkansas...those buck tooth, overall wearing, hillbillies all look the same to us.
    @Faust29 You get my Strava. It gives you something to shoot for.
    @Voodoo Tom You get my beer collection.

    If for some reason I do come out the other side.....Tom you can still have my beer collection. The rest of you are outta luck.

    I have never wished for anyone to not die more than this!!!! Clever ploy to get me to pray extra hard for your complete recovery!



    OK - but in all seriousness - best wishes for a quick and complete recovery. You got this! :thumbsup:

    I once told Old & In The Way that If he found me dead on the side of the road that he could have my Hightower. He said he didn't care much for my bike but he would take my wheels. Haha

    Good luck Jason!

    I was a bit torn on that one tbh. One half of me was pretty excited at the prospect of new tools, the other half was thinking no feckin way do I want to be stuck fixing the profs bike - thats a full time job!

    Glad to hear you're sorted @mtnbikej :thumbsup: Thinking about Blackstar and 2 monkeys this weekend, you'll be good to go with the new hardware now right?

    Sorry to disappoint some of you......

    No @herzalot you aren't gonna get my SS....as sad as you are about it, you will get over it
    @Lost Kiwi you are off the hook. Looks like I'll still be keeping the Professors bike running.
    @Stkx66 I'm keeping the Hightower
    @Voodoo Tom sorry there was no beer in my beer collection.
    @Faust29 You are still gonna have to chase my Strava
    @Mikie I'm not gonna stop at the hillbilly jabs.


    Surgery went well. Doc had to rebreak one of the bones that had already began to grow back. I have a plate and a bunch of screws....hope to get pics next week.

    Currently dealing with the nerve block they gave me....total mindf*ck touching my right hand with the left and having zero sensation. Waiting for the dead arm to come back on line. I kmow the pain will come with it, but honestly i can deal with the pain better than the dead arm feeling.

    @Faust29 got the raw deal. Chasing your Strava is frustrating. :laugh:

    Is the plan for the hardware to be permanent?
    You'll really light up the metal detectors.

    Here's to good healing.

    (PS @Voodoo Tom we all knew you would not get any beer no matter what)
