Ugggh...well, work this week sucked....
1st day,I get off work a little early to return a UHaul trailer, and on the way to the lot a transport kicks a rock up and puts a big chip in my windshield, and of course, it spiderwebs out immediately.....and to top it off, its not my POS 91 topaz but my wifes 06 Torrent.....oh well, cross the fingers (wish I could) that itll hold off spreading until winter...
now about the bracketed thing.... second day at work, a large piece of rock fallls off the roof of the drift, and lands squarely on my right wrist. Gashing it open. the result of this rock meets skin is 5 stitches to close the wound and a possible fractured bone in my right hand. its currently casted up, and will remain casted for a week untill I get more xrays...hopefully it turns out to be just a bruised bone and they can takethe stupid cast off, and remove the stitches on friday.....but that means this whole run off, I wont be on the bike....oh, and typing is hard...
actually, doing anything left handed is hard.....I almostbrushed my nose with colgate this morning.
could be worse, I could have had a bad brake like people herehave had before....I dont feel too bad for myself....
happy week to all!

Heres a few things....
1- I moved...I now live In Sudbury Ontario, about 3 hours south of where I used to live...a biot warmer, longer riding season and what not...good good.
2- I will be picking my bike up from timmins and bringing it down here, so I should get my first Sudbury ride within a week. I hated having to leave it back north, but the logistics of moving it down here just didnt mesh up right away.... Tuesday is the planned reunion date....
3- painting and moving sucks.

Heya Pete. Sounds like stuff is working out good for you! I hear ya...painting (yuck) moving (more yuck). Is your hand okay, better, got the flex & such back? And it looks like you will have to change your "Location" too.. 
Take care!
