Don't you hate it when errands stack up and stack up and stack up until you have no choice? It was that kind of day...
I've been [putting off a trip to the doctor to have my right knee "shot up" with magic, genetically engineered collagen and enough cortisone for at least a high school football team, but it finally caught up with me...that bone-against-bone grinding, to use a technical term, sucks. So once every 12-14 months I go get the ole knee joint chrome-plated.
Unfortunately, I waited about a month too long this time (because I'm convinced, convinced I tell you, that it's miraculously going to heal itself). Sadly, a ll those triathlons, marathons, long-distance bike races, jumping out of perfectly good airplanes and the host of stupid things I did to entertain myself have taken their toll. I was laughing today with my SG producer, John Carter, who's a marathon guy and who was laughing at me tinkering together my knees. "Do you think this isn't a vision of your future?" I said.
I'll put off the replacement knees as long as I can!
Marshal and I are working on a couple of totally cool Internet projects, including a documentary on Project Appleseed (this will be so much fun!).
I've been doing a lot of dry-firing with the C&S GP-100. I am convinced it is the best GP-100 on earth, possibly in the Known Universe. I'll be taking pictures this weekend. Six-inch barrel, Bowen rear sights, green fiber-optic front, Hogue "camp-lamo" big butt grips...I'm loving it!

I feel your pain. As I put ito to people:
"It's not the age, but the mileage. And, my mileage includes way to many rough roads carrying heavy loads on my back."
Rode hard and out away wet... know the feeling
Michael,
I bought a expensive Donjoy kneebrace, it is worth every penny. It pushes the outside of my knee in so I work on what cartilage I have left not bone on bone. Take a look.
