Off-ROad Adventures

Coming down Carnage Canyon in the Land Cruiser


This pretty much sums up the day

Beautiful day for a picnic

Big Trees, little people...

The Weather...

...here is crazy, this is what it was like on Memorial Day here:


and it will be back to 85 by the end of the week. Better than stayin grey and gloomy I guess.

Burning the Horizon

He Looks Pissed

Something draws me to this one...


Sometimes you need to start over...

Already falling behind...

Well I owe a few pictures here if I wanna keep up with 365/photo a day, here ya go:

Here are my top 5 pictures from this weekend:

Actually

The first thing I can do is start playing Golf and continue to go to the gym, no mtb biking until July...

O well things could be worse.

The first thing I can get back into

I will find out later this week if/when I can begin to ride my bike again (Although the bike pictured has been stolen, I have a project build I am working on).

Ahh The weekend

Mass Destruction

Taken from directly in front of the Daily Camera, Boulder, CO's daily paper...

Late nite

Burns...

At the skate park...



Post Processing done with Lightroom, this is one of my favorite effects, it is a cross process effect that I think really works with this picture.

Near where the injury happened...

This is Jacubiac spinning off a jump on the backside of Big Sky, I had a similiar view but the cliff I went off was a bit higher up. Still a blast though.

4 Weeks out...

Surgery was a success. Dr. Seng went in and Harvested the hamstring with no issues, then removed the destroyed ACL. Drilled a hole in my Tibia, the hamstring through the hole and back to my Femur where it was screwed down. Another screw was used to anchor the other side to my Tibia. The Hamstring Scar is about an inch and a half with the Arthroscopic scars even smaller. Amazing what they can do these days.

While he was in there he took care of the damaged part of my MCL (grade 1 tear, minimum damage compared to the shredded ACL) and reported that the Meniscus had healed itself and did not require further repair.

Rehab is going slightly ahead of schedule, thanks to spending plenty of hours on the CPM (Constant Passive Motion) machine provided by Kinex Medical along with diligently doing the prescribed excersises.

This will be the first week in the gym with weights and machines, I will be taking it easy but it's great to be able to see the progress. Still plenty of pain in the knee and all the good meds are gone...Each day gets better, pics to come soon.
