I feel for you, I had a total knee replacement 3 weeks ago, it was and is quite painful, rehab is hell too but I'm being told it will be better when it's all over, I'm just looking forward to driving a car again then the bike.

You know, Richard, if you can drive a car it would be way cool for you and LaDonna could make it to the Boxerworks rally at my place the weekend of May 17th. If I remember correctly you have a perfect attendence record. Plus, if you don't make it then who will tell us stories? ;)

Well, I guess there is Duane, but we need you too.

While I'm a bit of a BSer myself, I do like to listen to a real pro when I have a chance.

That's why I show up. I have a great set of friends and they deserve new material of the highest quality. So, I plan to attend and take note of the best stories.

Well,Next week sees the third anniversary of my skydiving"misshap".I'm still much the same--walking(badly)with a stick,still riding the detested Yamaha V1agra and missing working too.BUT,Tomorrow I intend to jump again.Got to face my Demons and hopefully not make too much of an idiot of myself.I'm really looking forward to getting in the air again,But Diane is NOT VERY HAPPY about it--and might not come with me.Another hospital appointment on Monday to look forward to.

Well,despite my expectations we've had a GREAT day,Diane was quickly absorbed into the old crowd,lots of laughs,much piss-taking and banter.I did two jumps,it was like I'd never been away.p.s.There were no Demons to face.Just great fun with good friends.
