    Default I'm back!

    I'm pretty sure no one knew I was gone though. I tore my knee up last year playing pickleball and missed most of the riding season. I tore my other knee up this year playing pickleball again. I gave it a go today and I was able to get on and off without a problem. I think I'll give up pickleball!

    You remembered! About 3 years ago while I'm running on treadmill this guy walks up and says "You're going to ruin your knees landing on your heals like that". I said to myself "What the hell does he know"? Now I know what he knows.

    Actually, I was talking last year when you passed out right after a workout on the treadmill, and was taken to the hospital. I believe you said you were on medication which suppressed your heart rate. You needed to have your spyder taken home from where you had parked it b/c you were in the hospital. grumpy bob picked up your spyder from where you had parked it, and I think you made him a nice wooden plaque.

    Right on. That was 2014. Time flies when you're having fun. I did make Grumpy Bob a plaque. Given what he did for me, I really don't think he's that grumpy.
