@Uncle Louie heal quickly, safe travels.
Booo...for unsafe cat-track drops. So easy to prevent with the cat's blade.
My request is that we don't take this tread on a discussion of what happened. The short version is that the road was clearly marked and I stopped at the markers. I grossly mis-judged the height in bad lighting as I was pushing off.
This one's for you UL because in my mind I can see you @SugarCube and @Philpug doing this 'en route to next years gathering
Heal well
Wait, he broke vertebre in his neck by someone slamming the safety bar down on his helmet??I'm waiting for someone to turn it into a helmet thread.
In all due respect, there has been no Gathering coordinator who has been more diligent about safety nor better at helping those who accidentally got in over their heads than @Uncle Louie and we would appreciate the respect and appreciation for all he has done to guide, gather and coach every single member of "any site" he has participated in, and we would appreciate that members posting in respect to this show this respect. So NO! No one has ever been wrecked following @Uncle Louie EVER!!!!Well, up until now it was other people getting wrecked trying to follow @Uncle Louie .
This made me laugh. We are all getting older.Wait, he broke vertebre in his neck by someone slamming the safety bar down on his helmet??
First of all, I was sad that you weren't here to ski with us.I talked to UL several times last night. He's in very good spirits, probably getting a bit of "cabin fever," but still quite uncomfortable as you can imagine. Your posts, calls, visits, and extraordinary offers to help have touched both of us. Thank you all.
I'm heading SLC tomorrow morning and then we'll begin the trek back. I've told my colleagues at work, "it'll take as long as it takes" as far as the drive home goes. We've got good weather ahead of us, and that's half the battle of drives that long.
And, how about this for irony? It's a powder day today in Kentucky!
Makes some pretty turns for us--go get 'em!
It occurred to me today that the last gathering we attended (Jackson), I trashed my ankle on the 2nd day of the event. Yesterday, UL trashed his neck on the 2nd day of the event. I guess we can't start anything in the future 'til Day 3.
