day one

day one, i've had my pin out for 1 day now. it took 2.5 hrs at the dr office. we waited for an 1.5 hrs before we went in back, never go the week after the holidays as they are catching up. the cast came off and the skin was not to bad. the fellow/resident looked and seemed to like what he saw as for as healing. he informed jenny and i that the nerve could take a month to 'wake-up'. dr. bynum had the pin removed which felt weird but not crazy. we then discussed what i can/nots do. wear your removable hard cast accept when moving it to strecth the ligament, no squeezing, pinching, torquing, jarring, crashing of any sort. i'm out of work for 5 more weeks.

luckily i also started training for umstead marathon with a 3 mile run. we'll see how things progress.

deer hunting

11-17-08 as i was doing chores i looked out the window and what did i see but a deer next to the shop staring back at me. i wondered when hunting season started for gun? went to computer clik dot com season started 11-15. clik dot credit card now have hunting license in hand, deer still laying by shop. go unlock gun and search of ammo. i only found 1 bullet, better make it a good shot with my cast hand. i easied the front door open, deer never looked, opened screen door and proped with shoe so it was just cracked. she looked for a second then went to chewing a leaf. aim, loud bang, hi her , she ran into the pine thickit and laid down. jenny called from work 20 sec after the shot. you normally want to give game 10-15 mins. before you track, so this was perfect. i had to change onto proper outdoor clothes i.e. not pj's. i took her to the deer processor where 2 nice people helped gut and skin her since my hand limits me to do so. we'll be getting 2 tenerlions, the rest 1/2 sausage, 1/2 burger patties to freeze. what a wild morning.

misery run 2008,

this weekend silas and i ran a 5.8 mile trail run @ Lucas Farm in carrboro. the race is part of the godiva track club winter series. you run over hay bales through mud hole sa deep as mid thigh if you went slow. hills asd cow manure where prevolent over the 3 loop course. the winner is the one who guesses their finishing time the closest. i predicted 45:23 and actual was 46:05 not near the winners 9 sec. difference. majorly dirty and hugely. cannot wiat for next misery.
