Well we have something in common - I have
a broken ( now repaired <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>) right tibia.

Nothing's worse than a broken "pivot area"
bone to remind you each time you move! <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

I.V.- I just read about your kickboxing injuries; Had any good shin-to-shin contact latley? I did kickboxing about three years ago and my shins are still lumpy. other than that, Most of my fingers have been broken or badly sprained, my right thumb likes to pop out of socket once in a while, Arthritis in both hands and right hip, Sporadic heart palipitations, and a murmur that is loud enough to be heard W/O a stethascope. Oh, and an extermly embarrising hemmroid problem complete with two mayjor operations to remove them. But right at this moment I feel great because I just ate a bowl of the most excellent chili.

ever since i joined the army i kinda stopped practicing & fighting (close to 3 years now).
i still train here & there but without any leg work because of my bad knee.. lost most of my flexibility.. i can still break a wall with a fist though <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

I definitely did not reakize how many Military guys we had here. I've been in for 5 years and already had 2 MOS's.
Happy now I guess. It's a dirty job...

Hi I.V. I know it's very unusual to gain fat in the army. Those days the military service was from 9 months up to 2 and a half years (depending on the branch and if you were a student or not - I wasn't a student and I specialized in the artillery so the military service took about one year and a half for me). Before this, I was working as a woodcutter, it was a very exhausting job, 10 or 12 hours a day, 6 days a week, a chainsaw was a luxury and it was given only to the "veterans" so we were asigned just axes <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>. Not to mention I had to walk more than 10 miles daily to the work and back.
I remeber I was telling to the girls I was dating to that those rough hands were from the barbells at the fitness centre (LOL) <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>, which wasn't entirely a lie, as I was going daily to the dojo - practiced judo since highschool - unfortunately not any more now <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>.
When I arrived in the army, there was by far less work to do, a tight schedule, regular meals and sleep (and no girls, as you probably figured out already) <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>.

Well, mostly just "hung over".
Mixing 35 year old Single Malt and Sprite for years will do that to a man<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
Take care,

Wow- spyderco's own geriatrics message board!

Alot of "lame" people out here in california - Most are on the freeways!

I don't like talkin' about my problems I try to ignore them! But with old age things happen so with that I'll leave you with a poem!

"The Golden Years Have Come At Last"

I cannot see, I cannot pee,
I cannot chew, I cannot screw,
My memory shrinks, my hearing stinks,
No sense of smell, I look like ****,
My body's drooping, got trouble pooping,
The golden years have come at last,

THE GOLDEN YEARS CAN KISS MY @SS!!!!!

[quote="voxnaes"]Well, mostly just &quot]


Vox -

Although I've given up the "spirits" ( as they say in England ) I still
get "hung over" by the oxycontin I'm taking for my injury But that's
how you can tell an effective painkiller - you "feel" ( or is that not
feel ) it the next day :D

Kinda remind's me of Tommy Roe's song "dizzy" -

Diz-zy
I'm so diz-zy, my head is spin-in'
Like a whirlpool it never ends
And it's you girl makin' it spin
You're makin' me diz-zy

Diz-zy
Diz-zy
I'm so diz-zy, my head is spin-in'

Aloha Allen!

Think I broke my left middle knuckle...or at least hairlined it. ****...

I thought my training "pole" was adequately wrapped...

Geez.
