Seems legit. The pain has certainly gone down quite a bit over the last few weeks. Two acupuncture trips, two chiropractor trips, and possibly the low meds dose along with stretching and core work is what I hope has helped. I will continue with the exercises and stretching and may do a few more trips of each wacko doc. I have scheduled my PT and see if they say to do anything additional or different than what I've been doing.
another buddy of ours who's a photog was on the trip too. i found the thread where they documented it:

Being a fan of razor blades and mirrors I did notice you have an opportunity to mirror the ceiling.Good mornin!
Productive weekend taking care of house related shit that's been on the to-do list for way too long. Put the finishing touches on the bedroom wall; what was once a wall of mirrors is now a wall of wood.

Lots of work going on with the new house.
- New LED bulbs throughout the house. Quick estimate is minimum 500 watts replaced and counting. Light is much, much better than the incandescent bulbs.
- Putting in shelves in the baby room and master closet today. Cutting at non-45/60/90* angles sucks.
- Painting baby room today, Haley's then Killz in the basement tomorrow, basement primary color Wednesday.
- Mesh on the open space fence so the dog doesn't run away at night chasing rabbits.
- Shit ton of moving boxes
- Somehow Wifey broke the handheld shower hose this morning, so that's on the To-Do list now.
- Some switches need to be replaced as well.
- Wall mount TVs
- Have HD come replace the carpet in the basement.
The list keeps getting longer. Bike riding is probably done for a while.
Cool note, garage get the "exactly what I want" build out now. Having a good buddy who has same shop logic as me sketch it up currently. Hopefully it turns out well.

perhaps i missed, are you moved in yet?
this weekend was pretty pretty pretty good.
Tried to rally the troops around 11pm on Saturday to hike Mt. Sanitas in the full moon but my friends are lame and rather smoke B's & do dabs...totally could have done that on the hike. :/
Awesome party none the less.

I thought that was why he pulled it off the wall?Being a fan of razor blades and mirrors I did notice you have an opportunity to mirror the ceiling.
@Adventurous, that wall is super! Reclaimed pallets? Interlocking plank? Just random bits of wood?
I may steal that design....

48" out of this latest storm, and I am headed on vacation. One pow day so far was nice...hope you are all having a great day!
@jimmydean, back when I thrashed my knee, I had the MRI done that week, to be told I would need basically a complete rebuild. The two docs, one a surgeon, settled on six months of pt, then look again. The PT helped to the point I never had surgery. The surgeon that was so adamant I was going to need surgery was in disbelief as well until after the second MRI.
The boat I am in now is the same story for my shoulder except i am the one who is willing to deal with the hurt so I can heal properly and to the best ability I can.

Those are actually cedar fence planks. Way easier than harvesting and breaking down pallets.
Hit em with a random orbit to knock off the fuzz, trimmed to length, stained, and nailed to the wall. Pretty easy and it looks great in person.
naw thats about 2 miles down the road....long commute? haven't done that for 5 years. I now live 17 miles from work, takes me about 25 minutes of driving.
Lots of prep this past weekend for the Baja 1000, we leave Saturday. Send off party was last night. I'm exhausted today. Oh, and this happened: https://media.vw.com/releases/949
Yea. Closed two Thursday's ago on the new house, last Thursday on the old house.
Made it back from Virginia, 1,290 miles or so round trip.
Managed to back the R-Pod in in one pass.
In the trailer, drained most of the water and emptied and turned off the refrigerator since it's supposed to do some real freezing soon.

Congrats. Sounds like you are doing some serious work. Be sure to wear your safety monocle.
I probably shouldn't discuss actual numbers in a public forum and all. I can say this: we estimated that it would require the better part of $40k to go race the 1000 this year, and VW basically made it possible. Without their support, we most likely wouldn't be racing this year.
They need some good pr after dieselgate
How do you fit six co-drivers in the Beetle?
cool thread.
I spend a lot of time up there.
The boys love those trains, we've been there by sled and boat many times.
Fuck Cancer
Took the surgical dressing off and washed everything up today. She is walking around wearing the protective boot 6 days post amputations
We are all wimps in comparison to her

How many beers is that?mmmmmmmmmm festool domino seems to speak to me more and more, hard to bite the bullet for that one though
Got in an slow and easy ride on some gravel, a wee bit of singletrack and back to the car just as it got dark.
87 beer job for sure, I really just need to figure out a quick and easy way to cut tenons, and more importantly, go much slower with the general planing
Router table?
