Default I'm down again

Well....My awesome new year has begun.I broke my left foot for the second time in 6 months so i'm casted for another 4-6 weeks.....The 1st time was the #5 metatarsal and now it's a hairline fracture in the #5 and a fracture in the #4.I just can't win ......Not sure where i picked up the bad luck from but this really sucks.at least it's not nice spring or summer weather so that is a bright side to this.

That sucks man, I don't know how you feel, so far I have made it 43 years and nothing broke yet, well my wallet but that's every payday. How did you break your foot man? I guess if you're going to break something it may as well in the dead of winter. Heal up so you can ride again.

Oh and P.S. I love the sig, kind of reminds me of:

"Its been proven that 60% of the time, it works everytime." [8D] I don't know where I heard that before, but it is funny.

Yep, been there done that and I do feel your pain! But in the end, it's all about the stories and the scars!!

I did this in 1987 and it's been a beeeeatch ever since. The ankle joint is completely gone - bone on bone.

AYYYAYYAYYYAAA! Mark, that looks like you've got a veritable hardware store in your lower extremities! I guess that was before JB Weld became popular as a common reconstruction method.
