Halloween weekend

[pingpong]

Well Halloween weekend the local club I belong to had its 2nd Annual Punkin run. Last yr this was a blast, and this yr we added another wheeling location. So I took some time off. I arrived thursday afternoon early so I could set up camp. Once camp was set... the adult beverages started to flow. We drank into the wee hrs of the night. We quit drinking around 2:30 in the morning.

 

Well we got a late start Friday. most of the ppl finally got up around 9am. after making some breakfast, and getting camp straight we ended up heading over to Crozet. Man had this place changed since the last time I was there. Once we all got registered, and got a map of the place we went out for some turner trails. While unloading the trailer, my hood would not open. Well while removing parts to open the hood, my aux fan/cb wiring harness caught fire. :eek: Well I pulled the hood and front grille and decided I was going to wheel it like it was. We ran low blues, and had a blast. We did run one or two cool obstacles. Pete's demise and PUSI hill were the high lights of the day. After wheeling for 3 to 4 hours we decided to pack it up because no one had broke, and it was starting to get late.

 

 

Once back at camp, we started to cook some grub, and drink some adult beverages. Well the camp ground was having a Live band and free food. well here is where things went wrong. I ended up getting ejected from a golf cart, and sustained some serious injuries. I ended up breaking my right tibial plateau, and my left 5th metarsoul(sp). That monday I underwent open reduction of my right leg fracture. So now I am out of the game for another 6 weeks minimum. Un fortunately not many videos or pictures were taken of my rig, as mot of the obstacles we wheeled the first day I walked right up under a minute.

Gotta watch them thar "adult beverages." I wish you a speedy recovery. (My wife's arm is in a cast, so I'm sure she can sympathize as well.)

Glad to hear/see you back and doing well Pat. If I had the money to make it down there for our game of chess, I'd do it right now while you have down time. And have a couple/few of these with you as well .

I am home now. I spent 8 days in UVA Medical center, then I went to a rehab facility. I was suppose to be at the rehab center for 7 days, but after 5 days my insurance company denied further payment cause I had met my clinical goals. So now I am at home doing therapy at home 3 times a week. the sad part is my copay after 4 visits is more then it would be for me to be hospitilized, and the therapy I get at home last about 1 hr, where as I was getting 3+ hrs a day as an inpatient.
