the fog

Well the wife lost her job, no biggy in the big picture, just another speed bump this year we will get over along with the therapy issues. Since the job loss things have been a little foggy on how to get things back in motion. I skipped a few days at the gym and missed a few trails. Oh well. Tomorrow back to the Gym and riding/planning new trail Saturday/Sunday. The weight is still even or a little loss over the last 2 weeks. I need to get to Randy and get the fork and start riding more.

Double ear infection, great fun

not even dreaming about them

Man, should I not be dreaming about saving money and buying new bike stuff for next year. I have seen a ton of new cool stuff in all kinds of colors and materials. Oddly I am not at all, nothing is really busted up after doing 4 races this year and beside a brand new crappy x9 front derailleur that need changing out I am pretty much set. I did spoil myself this year with two new bikes so maybe that’s what is going on. I am totally focused right now on loosing weight and putting muscle back on. The last two years have been complete shit summers as far as riding goes. In 08 I tore my right quad at the first race and this year the broken toe/foot screwed me all year plus the steroids added 20 pounds but it did finally fix the foot. Well here’s to 2010 being a great year

watching them go by and by

So I spent a bunch of time in the treestand this weekend and there is nothing like pure silence sitting up 20 feet in a tree. You see and hear everything from small bugs to deer and stupid conversations from hikers. Well on Saturday it was quite for many hours because the connector trail was still closed. However on Sunday, not long after sunrise the bikes started rolling through pretty steady and I began to wonder why I too was not rolling along on a perfect fall day. I stayed out until about 10:00 am when I seen Ronsta roll by and could stay any longer. I went home and picked up Josh and head out for a good hike and to move my stand to a NW wind location. On the hike we found a few black orange bellied snakes, rare in wisconsin I guess. Great weekend.

grasshopper and mr gecco

So there is no need to chopping up the knees. There is plenty of scaring on the acl and mcl but that should be ok. It appears to be from a lack of riding and being overzealous this spring on the upper leg work outs. Appears the quads are pulling the knee caps up and out. Making the knee caps look grasshopper eyes I guess. Mr doc wrote me a prescription to ride my bike as of as I can and calf exercise and some PT to show me said exercises.
