I've had 2 problems lately. One, I couldn't get back into OCC site. But, with the help of pawclaws, I was able to correct that problem. ;D Thanks again boss. Two, have a knee injury. I was tearing down my camp at the GNAR Market Fair in Newville, PA on April 24 when the heavy wind gusts grabbed my awning, a 12X16 canvas that became a sail and lifted me up and then dropped me to the ground. I hyper extended and twisted my left knee to where it wouldn't bear weight. I had an MRI today but can't get the results until May 25th. That's keeping me from making the trip to the GT this weekend. I was trying to wait this out befor commiting one way or the other. I wish everyone a great time there.

I feel for you. I hyper-extended one of my knees when I was a kid. It HURT! I couldn't bend it for a week or two and had to limp around. Each step was a chore until the swelling went away. It still gives me problems so someday i'll have to have surgery myself.

Thanks guys. I appreciate hearing from the younger crowd . Mother Nature kinda forced me into trying the hanggliding thing. It wasn't the flying that was bad, it was that spinning vertical landing that was the culprit. But, even on one leg , I can still beat any roller coaster in the country ;D. This makes two springtimes in a row I've been physically hampered. I think I'm due for a luck change. Maybe I should start playing the lotteries or somethiing.

I had an MRI done last week. Could have been a head Xray. It showed very little. I could have some small tear or stringing to the ligaments and cartilage. I got a shot into the joint yesterday and it feels really achey right now. But, hopefully it will loosen up and I can get back to work. Basically, I'm healing; but to slow for my liking. Thanks for asking. I hope the GT went well. I had wanted to make it there. I figure it was about 2.5 to 3 hours for me to get to it. Hopefully next time.

;D I went back to work yeasterday. The knee is still a little tender. But, I got through two full days doing the full shifts on the concrete. I had to ice it for a half hour but I'm able to do things I want to do. Thanks for the expressions of concern. I appreciated them.
