Pickle ball takes out a lot of 40 and over’s. I have a few friends that been hurt bad. I would love to play racquetball again but afraid it will go south. Heal quick Colonel Mustard!

Well we are all settled in on Frito Drive. And it's a good thing I got my build finished before we got here because there was plenty of of fixing / recreating to do. On Thursday night I tried my hand at pickleball for the very first time. As a former high school and college tennis player I figured well that some of the hand eye stuff would translate. And as the games progressed II was starting to get into a groove. then my mind thought I was 20 again and my body which was not went flying through the air on a net dive, ramming my right shoulder into the net post and dislocated it. As the saying goes "we don't bounce like we used to".

So I'm out of any bike building or guitar playing or even bike riding for probably the next 3 to 4 weeks. Even then I don't know what kind of extensive damage there was so we're hoping for the best.

one cool thing I did find out Is my laptop has ' voice text', So I'm composing this entire comment just using my voice. which is kind of cool.

Sorry to hear it. I hope you recover quickly.

"we don't bounce like we used to". Yep

"we don't bounce like we used to".

That quote reminds me of this video I just recently watched
Get well soon!

I dislocated my shoulder in my mid 30s. I hit a jump wrong on my mountain bike and landed on my shoulder. No fun. I quit trying for big air after that. Heal quickly, that klunker needs ridden hard!

Thanks for the kind words and encouragement y'all. 48 hrs later and I'm already feeling better.

I know it takes a lot to heal up. I heard the Doc and nurse laughing in the hallway after I told them I was pulling a wheelie on a homemade bike and it went over on me. That was about 15 years ago, I sprained my knee and ankle at the same time. I though I had a broken leg. It took a couple months to get right again.
