Ow. Still one lucky dude.

Short story: Had many cool adventures. Drank wine, sang, collected rocks, ate excellent food, had wonderful conversations. Went and learned how to ride a Suzuki 250 in mud and dirt course.

Fucked up, did crash. Jacked L. shoulder/ribs, right hand, right thigh--picture is the thigh. (Think it was handlebars through the 3 layers of cloth.) Thank goodness for hot tubs and Ibuprofen. But this means no fezziwig's (can't dance right now), lotsa sleep (not so bad) and not much house mod (r hand very swollen, hammering/sawing bad. ) More typing, reading, etc.

More on this later. But really--when you find yourself 6 feet above the ground, face down, there's a lot worse things that could happen. And I know how to deal with this level of injury fairly well.

Wow. That's better than fighter practice. Don't do it again soon, OK?

Not until I lose 100 lbs.

Too fat to high fall...of course, the 20 mph speed (whatever it was) didn't help.

Pilots say that a good landing is one you walk away from...

Glad you're okay!

If only someone had been there to distract you right before you hit the ground, you might have just flown. You need new peril sensitive sunglasses!

I do!

One of my problems was the butterflys. They would remind me of their superiority by zipping across my vision. I thought I was hot shit on wheels? A Skipper was faster across my path than I along it...thankfully, no hummingbirds came along to mess me up. Or frogs, remember poor Cathyn and the frogs.

Sounds like a great time until that last bit. May you have many warm baths!

Oh yucky looking - says the mother of 3 boys... But, yeah, could have been much worse.

Oh my dear! Please take better care of yourself. We need you around here to keep us laughing and dancing!

Glad you're (mostly) okay - heal quickly!

Ouch! I didn't know your thigh had taken such a blow. Geez. Get lots of RICE & take good care. Return to the dirt when you're feeling up to it.

Eek! Ok--glad the damage was (fairly) minimal!

Give me a call--want to set up dinner date with you at our place.

Nurses advice: 1. Alternate alcohol between gash on leg and internal consumption 2. reapeat number 1. and 3. sending "booboo smooches" for faster healing ;)

Ouch!! When I saw that icon, I was afraid it was an injury. Take care of yourself!

One of the reasons I like Harleys - not designed for off road.
So I never try it again... your owie looks like the one I got when I tried Suzuki on a sand course...
Glad to hear it wasn't worse.
