I had a not-so-interesting weekend but 
So 6-8 weeks ago one of my cousins tore the tendon that holds the bicep to the bone......he went to the dr, they said baby it etc. He fell off a ladder not long after and tore it clean off a couple weeks later & had surgery right then. (this cousin, he was a little like my younger brother coming up.....we even shared a room.....3 of us for a bit). He tends to come over once a week when he can get away & we have a few drinks & play chess or tennis or skateboard around like a couple old farts.
Friday night I went out of town to help a friend pick up a vehicle (I can be a bit of a yes man), had a couple adventures, got back late last night.... while we were out there another cousin I grew up with (different family) started texting me about an injury. He was playing with his kids but there was a mishap that included a wall and the ground, & he tore BOTH arm tricep tendons clean off the bones. He's an actual iron man, got me back into dirtbikes as an adult, as well as skiing & mtn biking.
I was a little irritated with him from 2 weeks earlier- he gave me a lot of chances to practice passing him on singletrack & I got him at least a few times. He took a few cheap shots but I figured I'd be nice 'cause I need riding buddies, I like him, and if I get into racing ----well he at least likes me where as I'm just a random to everyone else. I was telling my friends I was going to use him for traction next time instead of just showing him a wheel
....then I found out he got hurt.
So I expressed sympathy, offered help (told him I'd install a bidet but wouldn't help him wipe ) And then I sent him this video:
I heard what my other cuz told him (gave his # & told him to call- the one who'd already had surgery told him he passed out when they took off his cast----& this kid has a serious tolerance for pain). I told him the one who was already hurt is a baby &
Anyway, I was tired and a touch hungover, late night etc, but the weather was unusually warm and windy which usually means a snow storm is blowing in. I figured I'd fix the 4x4 on my truck...... I also had a boneless breast (boned & netted breast) that needed to be cooked so I grilled it. My phone was being used as the radio (pandora - de la soul & white stripes channels), I was greasy & dirty & racing the sun. I got the job done,,, a couple more things to check (F150 4x4 is a little different). I should be just about ready for the winter though!
