- December 18, 2013, 10:01:57 AMOK, so I should have turned around on the stairs and looked where I was going. I get that...But don't tell me you've never done gone backwards down a step or two...Seems to be healing up ok. Yesterday I needed a stick for support, today, if I take it slow, I can walk. I AM GOING OUT TO THE GARAGE THIS AFTERNOON! Supposed to get to 37, I definitely want to assemble the seat and bags. I'm pretty happy about the diet results, too. My blood glucose was 90, so maybe I will out live all of you...as only the good die young!

- December 18, 2013, 08:22:17 AMBack in the old days when 600 or 650 was a big bike and getting 100 mph was considered the ultimate road speed, probably about 1966 I rode a Matchless G11 600 cc bike, While kick starting it one morning it backfired and the kickback hit me under the arch of my foot. The pain was intense and didn't ease off so I went to the doctor, he didn't bother with an X ray but told me it wasn't broken and had the nurse bandage it, the bandage was so loosely wrapped that it came off that night, It was some time before I could bring myself to kick that bike over again, but it never caught me again..
I love electric starters..
John.

- December 17, 2013, 17:56:53 PMIt's a little difficult to explain clearly, but here goes: I was down in the basement work room. I started up the stairs and realized I'd left my jacket on the back of a chair. I thought I was one, maybe two steps up, and started to go down backwards...after all it wasn't far...well, I was three steps up and when I thought I was on the ground, I wasn't...loud CRACK noise from my ankle...I went to the walk in clinic today, they did X-rays, said it wasn't broken anywhere...just soft tissue damage. I have this BIG BLACK boot on now. They said to keep it elevated and only walk on it as much as I can stand...They expect it to be pretty good in 3 days...I have no pictures, yet. All my cameras are down stairs. Maybe tomorrow, I'll try the stairs and I really DO want to install the seat and saddlebag struts tomorrow since they are saying +35! Here's a bright spot in an otherwise dismal week. The weighed me and I lost 30 lbs. on my self created diet since August!..Blood pressure 117/78 and 55 bpm heart rate...

- December 17, 2013, 17:43:29 PM Troll hope you get well soon, I am getting ready at work to close and get people off on block leave. Sunday heading to visit my sister for a couple of days and so a 5 hour trip in a snow storm will be normal.
Working on my bike and getting things done and have a couple of mod articles to post once I am back.
Been throwing snow a lot to, I do not own a plow or a plough, but have a really nice Toro Snow blower......
just sent an email to Petemoss and GreenBarn to help me with a new idea and project so see if they lend a hand....lol.....

- December 17, 2013, 17:39:01 PMQuote from: Troll on December 17, 2013, 09:29:25 AMWell. I guess I'll post something, too about my winter hibernation. Yesterday afternoon, I slipped and fell down the basement stairs, and now my right foot hurts so much I can barely put any weight on it. Tomorrow it is supposed to get up to 35 deg, and I was planning to do some work on the seat mod out in the garage. Now I don't know if I can make it out there, much less do anything. My plan for today was to go see the new Hobbit movie...guess I'll have to put that on hold for a while. My wife wants me to go to the hospital and have my foot and ankle checked out, so if by noon it's not better, I might do just that. The only bright spot is that I don't have to move snow.....
OUCH! How did you manage that?
