Travelin Man
« on: July 08, 2008, 09:30:45 PM »
Might as well start a thread on this as I am getting a few PM's inquiring of my health

Am out of work perhaps permanently with a condition known as Spinal Stenosis

It is a narrowing of the spinal cavity that causes pain, numbness and some other not so pleasant symptoms.

I've spent over two weeks going insane at home doing zip, zero, nada, nyet   

My Mom needs me in Maine, I hate planes and can't ride LD very far these days.

So I am driving Linda's Mitsu Eclipse Spyder GT-6. 160 mph car with a 650 watt Rockford Fosgate sound system cross country

Pop a 1/2 a vicodin every 4 hours, drive from the back seat ( I be phat LOL ) with my feet elevated on the firewall and I'll manage

Drove as far as Flagstaff Arizona today 526 miles

Not too bad, my feet are a bit numb and the back is stiff, but I think I'll be fine in the AM

It has been suggested that if I drink a lot of water, I will have to take more breaks - - - good idea as my legs go numb quickly

Thank You, (you know who you are)

Would have died on a motorcycle crossing the Mojave today as it was 117 degrees out there

Next stop is Amarillo and then on to Memphis to visit with MJZ, JR, HogBreath, PHASE and ultrafxr.

I get to ride Elvis  :) :) :) :) 

Then on to Mr and Mrs We's house for an evening and a day

Then to JQ's to celebrate his birthday with him

And finally to Maine

I have dubbed this The Summer 2008 Scot Cuthberts Commemorative Tour (SCCT) as I am ripping a page from Scot's book in riding OPM's along the way and when I get to Maine

Fine Example of Gump's Rule

It seems that JW Marriott in their wisdom decided to put a floor to ceiling mirror across the room on the wall opposite the bathroom door.

Nobody but me here, so I decided to use John J Crapper without closing the door

Drop trou and look up    :vrolijk27: :vrolijk27: :vrolijk27: :vrolijk27: :vrolijk27:

You know how vicodin can constipate you ?

I found the cure   :D :D :D :D

You didn't type that from said crapper did you?  (I feel dirty)

Your route take you anywhere near Buffalo?  Or more NE?  I've got a warm bed, a cool pool, and award winning steak if yes.

Hey BB.  Sorry to hear about your health issues.  Nice to see you are able to get out to give your dear old Mom a hand.  Have a safe trip and take care.  Hopefully they can fix you up somehow so you can enjoy long rides again.

Regards, Moe
