We had frost/freeze warnings last night into today, its 60 right now, and tomorrow, 90...I think whomever assembled this years calendar got some of the pages out of order

We had our summer for three days last week..

now it's back to cold winds, rain and storms..

I can't wait for global warming to arrive..

Take care of your back and heal up soon.  If it's of any consolation, although we have great riding weather here, I'm still stuck cleaning up storm damage in the yard.  Once again, no time to ride.

Get well Chief... Don't rush it... Heal it up right!

[CDNRatMan]

    think of the bright side to this,
1. all the money you are save in gas,
2. the wear an tear on your bike,
3. more time to get things on the forum squared away,
4. more time with your spouse communicating,

see lots of good things.......

Thanks guys. I will do as you all advise and not get too active too quick.

Good luck to you healing up there, chief.  I strained mine badly 3 times in the last 3 years.  Each time it takes about a month to get over it a decent amount, 2 months "completely" (as completely as you can...).   For me it was muscle relaxers (for a few days), rest, and several chiropractor visits.    Take care.

Well Chief it is trying really hard to snow outside today, so I'll stay inside and rest with you.......

Thanks CRM!   I wish it were raining or something here... but no.. its 70 and perfect riding weather!  I'm trying to figure out which biker god I pissed off recently.

ah ha plumbing is not something you should be doing at your age really.......you should have been in your chair or out riding for better health......

Agreed..and old people shouldn't ride motorcycles either..

You would be very wise to listen to your doctor on the back thing....my doc told me several years ago to find a new line of work; (are you kidding me?? I've been a welder and mechanic too many years to change now!) Well, dumb-a$$ (me) didn't listen, guess what...4 discs in the neck, 7 in the back, totally collapsed. (Maybe NEXT time I will listen...) So, please, for your own good, do exactly as "the doctor ordered"... except pay the bill on time!

ok dumb a$$ question of course, why did you do what you were doing, and not letting some young lad do it?

so now just rest and put heat to it and relax......

apparently, I am not designed to fit under the sink.

Chief sorry to read about your bad back. I too am just recovering from severe back pain. I am lucky though because the weather hasn't really warmed up enough for me. Been only warm a couple days so far. Hope your back heals very soon!!

I've blown my back out... not great timing. doc says to plan on a month of downtime... are you kidding?  I have never been out of action that long in my life.
