Glad to hear you were not hurt any worse Tim.

We chose an inherently dangerous hobby, but even so, we keep coming back to it.

Thanks for the well wishes guys

Dang Tim, sorry to hear this. Glad your not damaged any worse than you are, and glad you weren't going 60 mph

About it taking 3 months to heal instead of 6 weeks................. It's hell getting old.......
