Slept in. Took a nap. Looking forward to an early night.

Got a flat tire. Got the spare on (there's a story but not for tonight). Went to see 2001: A Space Odyssey on the big screen. Forgot to get cat food. Now drinking. Excellent day.

Had an EMG this weekend (love needles) and was told that I have severe right wrist carpal tunnel syndrome and right mild cubital tunnel syndrome, from using my crutches too much, and if I don't have surgery or stop using the crutches I could have permanent damage. Back in the wheelchair now, maybe until I can go back on Oxycontin to reduce the pain enough to let me walk without assistance. Then my wife and I went to a boy scout leader appreciation dinner today, and I noticed one of our friends choking on her food. She was clutching her throat and can't make a sound for real, and she tried to take a sip of water to loosen the food and the water wouldn't go down either. I alerted someone closer to her who came and did the Heimlich maneuver, and she was okay and finished dinner with us happy to be alive. Without realizing it, I had gotten up and was standing right behind them as emergency backup, in case the person who got there first should fail. That made me realize that I should stop being depressed about my painful broken femur and now carpal/cubital tunnel, because I (and my daughter) could have died in that car crash last December instead. Maybe pain is mind over matter, and if I can walk when filled with adrenalin then there has to be another way to do it without wrecking my carpal tunnel from using crutches. What do you guys think about hypnosis or subliminal audio messages?

I love your outlook on life Mike.

I made it home and made an avocado and cheese sandwich. All is good now.

Just finished changing the filters and sanitizing my 5 stage water filtration system. What a pain (I guess I only had to do half the work before). I think I'll just get water delivered when I move to a new place.

Waiting for my daughter to arrive from Indiana. Jeff should have flown Southwest airlines, on time and no hassles. Kind of like flying in a taxi with seven passengers but at least you arrive on time and the wifi works.

If so they've been tied a long time ago.

I'm fairly certain I still have this somewhere either in my or my parents' house, along with most of the Trackman incarnations that followed.

The first is a small waterfall in Gleninchaquin Park and the second is a stitched pano from the top of the hill at Eask Tower in Ireland.

Yours sounded great, Jacob, but where's the photographic evidence?!

Wrong. I drove the Triple Nickel and it was white knuckle, adrenaline pumping, sometimes almost crapping your pants fun. Like 60 MPH blind brows where you almost get air and then finding out you have a 90 degree 20 MPH corner at the bottom. I know this link is for motorcycles but just as fun in a decent car. http://www.motorcycleroads.com/75/440/Ohio/The-Triple-Nickle---Route-555.html And then I can show you about 60 miles of really fun stuff along the Ohio river in south western Indiana. You may not think these are places for sports car roads, but you are wrong.

Jeffy, if you are riding in LA or the Valley I would highly recommend that when you receive an incoming call you stop immediately and finish the call and not try to trouble shoot their problems while riding. With all the wild ass drivers we have it is not safe to have even the slightest distraction while riding. You probably know this but just in case.

Had many battles with mosquitoes. I think the damn bugs won.

Sounds about right

Coke day.

Friends bachelor party starting with steaks (at Hillstone). Filet...
