Sorry for your loss. Your family is in our thoughts. 

Brought my jet ski home from storage just in time for the snow. Usually launch at Rocky River and ride down to the flats for some grub and drinks. 

Depends on your definition of reasonable. I have a Baxley one i'd sell for $100. It's half price of a new one but there are several alternatives for less. Trackside being one that are $100 new.

Picked up my first handgun. Walther PPQ M2. 

Took a CCW class and really enjoyed the way this one shot. Looked up reviews online of this one and many others. The PPQ always had great reviews and considered one of the best triggers out of the box. This will be a home defense/fun gun, probably will never carry it. I'll get something smaller later if i decide to carry. 

Now my only issue is i can't find 9mm ammo anywhere local (Westside of Cleveland). Called every place around and all out. Don't really want to pay $15 shipping for a few boxes of $40 ammo. 

TRS, A* boots and gloves are sold. 

Bunch of stuff for sale, all LBTS. Can get more pics if requested.

Got out with Craig and Dan this weekend. In true Pauly fashion I crashed (went over the bars and face planted) so it was a true mountain bike ride.

 

Where was this at? Don't recognize it. 

Bought a new Norco Fluid FS2 this spring. The shock started sticking around 50% travel. Took it back to the lbs and they sent it to SRAM (Rockshox) for repair. 2 weeks later i get it back, they rebuilt the whole thing finding no reasons as to why it should be sticking. No marks or scratches. 

I take it out to ride the next day and it is still sticking..... It's been a week now since being sent back to them again. It was supposed to be 'expedited' this time but sure doesn't seem like it.

I feel like they should have just sent a new shock since it's still sticking and they couldn't find a reason the first time. I've lost a month of prime riding so far. I'll probably get it back just in time for daylight savings when i can't ride after work anymore.

Excellent question. It was my right nut that was removed. I expected to kind of see a left nut where it used to be and an empty sac on the right. But what it looks like is kinda like one sac, and one nut...no empty sac and it kind of hangs mostly in the middle. A tad to the left but not much.

Glad everything went well for you. It's a scary and fast paced scenario. 

Same thing happened to me. Ever since the Tom Green special where he had testicular cancer, I've checked myself out regularly.

I felt the dreaded lump right after my 30th birthday. A week later had surgery and the right one (my favorite one) was gone. 4 ct scans/year for 2 years followed by 2 scans/year for two years with one final one in year 5. I'm 35 now and will be going back to see my Dr in 2 years with just an abdomen/pelvic x-ray. 

I had the surgery on a Tuesday and was back at work on Friday. If you miss 3 days you need a doctors note and i guess i was too embarrassed at the time to tell anyone. I tried to just stay at my desk the whole time. By monday, it was like nothing ever happened.

Dang, this makes me sad man.

Me too. But i counted it up and i'm at 7 head hits with 2 of them being full concussions with loss of memory. Just not worth the risk. Going to buy a jetski instead. 

Bump

I've had two major concussions with several other head whacks over the years through different sports. Starting to wonder if maybe it's time to throw in the towel with riding. 

This is how my day ended yesterday at Nelsons; 3PM session. Coming out of turn 13, back wheel spun and instinct was to let off gas (dumbass). Bucked back and forth couple times with me going kind of over the bars and off to the side. The bike landed on me and we slide for quite a ways until it came off. I stopped in the middle of the track, bike off to the side. Once i realized i was ok, i ran over, turned it off and jumped the wall.

The suit rubbed through and luckily the back protector belt pad took the rest of the rash. I got a nasty rug burn on my ear and neck from the helmet strap. I think the foot peg landed on my calf, very localized pain and hurts to walk on it. But other than that i'm fine. Things to be replaced: suit, helmet, windscreen, levers and rearset. 

Selling two Mid-O gift certs that expire at the end of this year. $157.50 each.  

Should have went to Mid-O on Monday, looks like weather held out pretty decent. O-well.

Nelsons this weekend. Weather looking great! Signing up tomorrow as long as forecast doesn't change. Will be running intermediate. 

Anyone else planing on going? I'll be there with my friend Brett. Stop by if you're around. Grey/orange Daytona 675 and Green/White Ninja. 

I have 4 certs I have to use this year or they expire. Wondering if that will even happen at this point. 

60%+ rain Mon and Tues. Sigh....
