I was just roaming the park looking for visitors committing crimes. My radar kept bringing me to a maroon Subaru. I knew something was amiss but couldn't figure out what. Unfortunately, my amazing partner was away eating alfalfa so I was unable to solve the mystery.
 
Perhaps you’ll label me as some sort of heretic, but I was gifted a six pack of various Chocolonely bars and I was not impressed. I find the Walmart brand of dark chocolate to be tastier.

Shame on you! First Circus Peanuts and now Chocolonelies! :D
 
Okay, wanted to share some pics from after surgery.

Bikini pose for @Rockskipper

Oh, and @Ugly , Katie took these shots with the camera that had water damage from my spill into Red Fork Creek. It has been repaired. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

I crutched from L Street to M Street and back and it felt like a decent workout. I'll try to extend to more streets in the future.

They have me taking a bunch of pills four times a day for a week which includes some kind of mild nerve block, so I am a little groggy. I also am taking one aspirin a day for 21 days to keep blood clots at bay. I should be able to take the big bandage off that is underneath my brace after a week and replace it with some smaller waterproof bandages that I can place over the incision points around the knee. And then I can take a shower. Not really sure how that is going to work?

Anyway, keep the trip reports coming so that I'll have something to occupy my time over the next six weeks. :)
 
That's good to hear from you! Look at that.

I might have used one of those leg braces as a sleeping pad back when I was going for ultralight. :lol:
Phew! Glad the knee and camera are repaired and I am also glad that you could not wear a real bikini without chaffing up your armpits!
Your neighbors might be used to you, but they also might think it is just the pills...

Are you spending hours a day plugged into an ice circulator?
 
We all know there are five basic physical laws of the universe. One has to do with gravity, another has to do with electromagnetic waves, and two of them have to do with particle physics that I don’t understand. The fifth law is pretty simple, compared to the others, and it says that you can’t have a bikini shot without a bikini.

No ice circulator and no ice as of yet. They told me that I could ice it, but I haven't.

I'm not sure that my neighbors are used to me. The ones on the west side of our house just moved in, so they will definitely need an adjustment period. :)

Use your imagination Skipper. Make it a polka dot one, with forest green dots on a white background. Yeah, that'll look good. A kilt like that might be nice too. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

I don’t know, for some reason, I see grizzly bears and bison and they all look slightly menacing even though really tiny.

Not sure I can find fabric for a kilt with those on it. :)

You need a project while your knee is healing. Hire an artist to create the look, then fly to China and find a textile factory that will turn it into the fabric you need. Get a couple of yards and tuck it into your luggage and fly to Scotland and have someone there make a kilt, then wear it on the plane home so you don't have any tariffs on it. Simple.

ETA: Or you could just find some heavy construction paper, paint some bears and grizz on it, then wrap it around yourself and take a photo doing the BCP salute and tell us you did all the above. We'd probably buy it, since you have us all hoodwinked half the time anyway.

The only way I can fly to China is if I flap my crutches fast enough.

No hoodwinking from the Scatman. I just report on what I do. :D
