Perfect weather has arrived in Mississippi. So, I decided to wreck myself at CrossFit.
Now spending a beautiful Saturday afternoon at the ER. Apparently, it’s fractured and the bone is exposed.

Geez Louise!...how did ya manage to do that at the Gym?
CrossFit pushes pretty hard. I believe I dropped a dumbbell onto another dumbbell with my finger somehow in between. I’m not exactly sure beyond that. I was surprised by how much it hurt and the mess of blood on the floor. My XS650 was parked on the sidewalk. So, I had to drive it 14 miles home. That ring finger provides most of the power for pulling the clutch. I’m sure you don’t have to ask how I know.Geez Louise!...how did ya manage to do that at the Gym?
On the upside, until the mishap, I had a great workout. CrossFit is working very well for me.
That hurts my finger just to look at... wishing you a speedy recovery!
Dang Marty! That’s horrible, I hope it heals quickly for you. Fingers are so hard to keep isolated, that metal splint is gonna be your way to go for a while.
The last year I was working, I managed to get my index finger into a hedge clipper
. It hurt like hell and that little metal splint was the only way I could stand working with it.
That looks nasty and will be sore for a bit. Hopefully you’ll mend quickly.
Haven't been in the saddle for almost 3 weeks, been a little under the weather. Finally feeling better, so I took advantage of a beautiful afternoon. Ferry ride at Pte. Fortune QC across the Ottawa river for a run along the north shore. Second pic is looking downstream on the return leg. Felt good to ride!
Well, not quite a ride but a drive... heading out shortly on a 1339 km drive (according to Google) to pick up a new-to-me set of wheels. Will involve crossing international and provincial borders, all of which I hope will be uneventful. Should be back in 26 hours or so. Pics to follow...
...do tell...
I always knew working out was dangerous.
Getting off the couch always has its hazards. But, we all know the couch is the fast track to the nursing home. Good news, my finger isn’t broken. So, I’ll be back to grabbing bars as soon as the flesh heals.
Well I'm safe. I prefer my Lazy-Boy to the couch!
I just sit on the floor in front of the couch.
That way If I fall over due to drink induced imbalance; its not too far so I don't hurt myself. Hic........
No worries, coffee and iced tea don't cause that.I just sit on the floor in front of the couch.

What devilry could have done that?
The devilry that continuously drives my desire for yet another bike... I have my own version of the SOIR to stock!
Brought this home this afternoon. You've seen this pic posted here. I couldn't pass it up.
Nice!!
