We'll see John. I'm already starting to get heat from the wife about being gone on my birthday. I guess she doesn't understand that if I don't give a **** about my 40th bday, why should she? lol...

I'm actually going to the doc tomorrow. The wrist was starting to feel better until I spent a couple of hours thrashing a turbo charged Honda jetski across boat wakes last weekend. It was big fun, but I paid the price for it.

is anyone else going to this party besides us and our non-internet friends? color me offensive: but for all the huffing and puffing that happens on these boards, you'd think some of these hardasses would be down for a weekend in bear country.

It ain't a real jetski unless it's a Harley...damn squid.

lol... well, I'll take the squid label for this thing. It makes about 175hp, and runs right at 70mph on flat water, which is hauling ****ing ***. Crossing foot high wakes at 60+ mph is a hoot.

Anyway... guess I should look for a Harley powered v-twin PWC that runs 35mph.

Planning on leaving by 10am Thursday morning.
Can't remember what time I got in during the smokeout trip. Hoping it's around that same time.

Damn wrist is fractured. Going back at 12:45 to see a hand specialist. I'm assuming she's going to want to put a cast on it. Hopefully I can still work the clutch.

If she wants to put a cast on it, I may just tell her to wait until after Shady Valley. I can ride just fine with the way it is. Nothing booze and Vicodin can't (temporarily) fix.
