Hey Buddy,

Sorry to hear about your misdaventure.

Are you still hosting the Julian Tech Day on April 17th?

bseifert71 · 04-05-2010, 05:09 PM

We'll know tomorrow. If the good Dr. releases me to light duty, the 17th is a go. Should he keep me on injured reserve and the way workers comp is dealing with this injury, I cannot be in the office or anywhere around the District property until released by the orthopod. I could fall down and screw my arm up even worse. How it could be any worse, I'm not sure............broken radius and cracked ulna, 0 degrees flexion in my wrist and 5% function in my fingers.

But the stitches come out tomorrow and a bunch more x-rays. I've also had to cancel 6 months of music gigs so far; I really hope for at least 95% recovery.

Darn Buddy, you really did get hurt. Anything 0 degrees is not good. Not sure what the other stuff was but did not sound like a Craftsman tool or a Doohickey would be involved.

Take care and get well soon my friend.

Damn Buddy! A gymnast is supposed to stick the landing..on your feet.

You should have had your wife deliver you to breakfast a couple of weeks ago. We would have poured you under the door when we were finished with you.

Mike - Your oil filler cap looks great... your usual work of art. Is there any chance you will make any with a protruding, rather than recessed, 'wrench spot' (for lack of a better term)? I ride mostly dirt, and while I'd like to have one or your caps, the thought of constantly digging garbage out of the hex fitting so as to get a wrench in there has been a disincentive. A raised wrench spot would solve that problem and we could still get a high quality oil cap. Any thoughts in that direction?

Many thanks.
