    Brad wish you a speedy recovery!

    I still have the crank arm if you want to fix it, White Industries says it is not fixable. So you can give it a try if you want.

    When I had my eye surgery I got percocet. That and a beer you'll sleep better than you have ever slept.

    Hey everyone, just a little update. Im doing well. I go in tomorrow afternoon to get some drains removed that they had to leave in after the surgery. They are starting to get a bit uncomfortable.I can get around ok now. I can shower myself, but I think Ill let the wife do it for me for one more day :). Everything is pretty sore and stiff, and still swollen but im getting there. Hope to be back out riding again before valentines day.

    Another update. Ive been doing well over the last week. Most of my swelling is gone, just have a little left in the small of my back. I got my last drain out today. I rode around the parking lot of my apartments on my bike yesterday, it didnt feel to good. 2 more weeks and I should be able to get out on the trails. Ill just have to take it easy.

    Soon you'll be back at it and riding again. Have you ridden Noble area? If not we'll have to hit it up after it dries and before you head to Japan. :)
