Like it would break if I stood on it. Then when I rode...like the kneecap was going to pop off and godzilla was going to come out of it. Then like some voodoo witchcraft bully was rubbing the edge of a saw along the sides of my knee cap. Then it hot flashes and felt like it had the flu.
And what did the doc diagnose as the problem?

I felt flu-like the night I tweeked it. I slipped on some black ice in my girlfriend's driveway - didn't fall but I wrenched the knee pretty damned good trying NOT to fall. Maybe I shoulda just taken the fall and landed on my arse instead of trying to prevent it and focking up my knee. :think:

Well, I'm kind of a medical mystery. They thing it's bursitis/tendonitis/hurtkneeitis.

You need to take it easy if it's hurting to walk dude. Give it time for the swelling to go down. There is so much stuff going on down in that joint.

'morning, :stosh:. Easter is a good weekend for me -- i'm a trumpet player (when not other things) and this past weekend is one of the few times a year that i consistently make money playing. :D

the gig i had was at a "charismatic" church that was positively loaded. they hired out a full (probably 40-50 piece including me, not quite symphonic but getting there) orchestra, had something like 5 sound guys running about the place, and had cameras, mics, projectors up the wazoo. very different from the Catholic mass that i'm familiar with from jesuit high school...

on the other hand, i found that the girl i've been chasing has no love for me, and said revelation came at 2 am on saturday night, not good when i had to be across town, dressed and ready to play, at 7 am for the Easter services... :dead:

Pain's a bummer.


Nice Pic's Shyrmp!
:thumb:

Was off work Friday & started a explortary ride up a local canyon.
4 miles into it a twig caught my derailler & snapped the hanger !
Hiking 4 miles out in a soggy river bead was a bummer;
Happened 1/2 mile after I took this pic:

sorry to hear of the unrequited love, toshi.

hmm... :dancing: i'm thinking i might hit friendster up before going incestuous within my class. good/bad idea?

now that would have been awesome. but i wasn't. the parts were reasonably difficult so i had to be on top of my game. back in undergrad i played a concert where the other trumpet player pre-gamed it and actually brought his flask on stage during the concert. he had it sitting on his music stand and would take a swig during rests... :eek: :D

You mean being friends with her first? Well, duh...that is always the first step, but she was cool and had a great attitude :D

Props to you for not sticking me with riding with her. For some reason I always get stuck babysitting the girlfriends :mumble:

Doode, she did fine...ahahahah funny thing is you are the one that ended up crashing :p

Humm, modern personals. I'll have to check that out, it's gotta be better than the Stranger online (that is how I met Kevin :eek: ). You should talk to Mtb_Rob_FL he did that speedy date service, you know 8 minute dates, and had some success at it :)

Good afternoon,

My Easter was ok...

Friday: went with the g/f to her parent's house. Did nothing exciting... colored Easter eggs... (yes, my g/f and I are in ou 30's... :think: )

Saturday: Again, not much.. hi-lite was me driving her mother to the bakery in the g/f's MINI Cooper S while she and her father made their once-a-year church trip to get the Easter eggs "blessed". The family has some funny traditions... That evening, her brother and his g/f came over for dinner for the triaditional "All Meat Easter Dinner" which is sort of the inverse of their bizaar "No Meat Christmas Dinner". Drove home late Sat night.

Sunday: Drove up to her brother's house to see his new (to him" house and help with some DIY. Mostly, the g/f and I painted...

4 am came mighty early this morning... at least I leave in 15 minutes or so. :o:
