What does your day look like?

[shiny]

I'll get this quick 2 sleeper high retaining wall/flower bed done then go for a ride. Only 4 posts to cement in and 6 sleepers to drop in.

75mm x 2.4m concrete sleepers, not lifting them myself as too heavy, just moving the end of one around, 3 consecutive loud tear noises from my bicep/elbow

Now waiting on someone to take me to the Medical Centre as the trailer is hitched to my car full of concrete sleepers, C section, bags of concrete mix and I cant unhitch it.

Goodbye Friyay ride with a couple of beers at my local on the way home

2.4s by yourself - yikes. 2 of us huffed and puffed to move that size. 2m a little easier. Hope you heal up quick.

Nah, wasn't that silly... or maybe was. Knew they were too heavy, was only moving the end of one to get the strap out from below it, took the strain then twisted my elbow.

Missus and boys came home, says my bicep is really high up... on mirror check, faark... it may be off the bone

Took a few shots of mum / dad visiting the nest from afar...


Anybody watching?

Anyone there?

Looks ok...

OK, coast is clear...

Going in!


Pic a bit earlier with some decent light and lower ISO (200)


I had a visitor who was interested in case there was food

To add to the birds n shit this fella helping himself to seeds and crumbs after my post ride feed...
Also, had a stack during the week, hit eject, flew for a bit and nearly folded my lower leg in half between the bike and ground, somehow ended up on-top of the bike facing backwards a few metres down the track...anyway thought it'd be a good idea to go do a couple laps of the freshly reopened Lower Cascades trail at Marysville today..couldn't pedal too well so tried to keep braking to a minimum, the little bike was stupid fast.

So I went down to the den to finish restoring the flagpole that will go in the new garden and got roped into putting a barn owl nesting box in a tree. First the polycarbonate to stop the possums and then the box. I have the same box to put up at my place, might need a few more.

Yeah mate, the 30% functioning leg meant I was in no state to grind up the road

Faster than Auspost.
Surgeon yesterday at midday said how does an 8am op tomorrow sound

Mights as well get the recovery kicked off ASAP.
Job done, letting me out later too, which will be about a $1000 refund for no overnight stay

What was the Op, Ozzy?
Hope you have an optimal recovery.

Bicep tendon fully torn off forearm bone.

Recovery will be a 4-6 months

Smart trainer to the rescue.

Rest up ozzy!

PS: Don't forget to NOT do a bunch of stuff that feels fine until the hospital-administered painkillers wear off. I've made that mistake before...

Thank you for that ear-worm, I'll stick with well known righty and try my best to not think about you and the ultimate stranger idea

How'd you think he got in this mess in the first place, surely you don't believe "landscaping"?

So, whatever you do, don't be a stranger!
Or perform the stranger.... one of the two
