Happy daze,

Thanks for the videos Mango / PSUPac.

Mango - I stumbled across the x-ray pics - I had no idea you had adjustment rods sticking out of your arm :shock: It must feel great to accidentally have one of those grab on something :( . Hope you're doing well and can't wait to see you back out on the river. Recovery still on target for WOR?
Generally, I think that if I have the opportunity to paddle, and I've got something else to do or I feel like I shouldn't go for some reason, then I force myself to go and I always have a great time. So, I guess when in doubt -- Go, Paddle. -- Tommy Hilleke

After consulting with my therapist........they are Percutaneous Pins. :wink:
Haven't a clue as to the difference. Doesn't really grab on anything inside the cast
but it does feel like I'm being stuck with needles a lot. 18 more day in the cast,
pins should come out then also.

Should be back in time to prepare for WOR. Thanks :)

If your curious, but not for the faint of heart.

You were warned! :twisted:

But......how bout those videos. They make it look easy.

Great videos... but OUCH on the wrist photos.

Hope it's healing well.
Envelope – Free stationary taken from the Marriott while on a business trip.
Snowflake address label – sent to me free and had to be used up.
Stained glass stamp – It was more then three feet away from me when I decided to get them so you know I didn’t see them clearly
Butterfly and Sunflower stickers on the back – Also free and required because the glue on the envelope was so old it no longer stuck.

I'll let you know for sure. We can make it a family event maybe on Saturday. Matt & I are planning on paddling and then hitting the shooting range. We can all go!
Mom, Dad and the two boys all blasting away!

Wade-
I think I was actually on that upper yough trip. I was wondering if you had the video you took of me running swallow falls? I was the one in the orange burn and the lime-green helmet.

Cheers,
Ethan

My apologies Ethan. :oops:
You were at the end of a long clip that I didn’t even look at.
It is now posted.

If this doesn't work, go back to the original link.
