    Hey Ern!
    Hope you are healing well. Wrists can take a little time. DAMHIK It may keep you of the bike and from turning for a few weeks.
    Take even more care of yourself.

    Gee Ern, don't you have enough fun with dangerous rotating things if they are bolted to the ground?

    When I was a little tacker my dad was swiped by the tail of a truck on a narrow mountain road and luckily picked up some time later by a police jeep. For that reason he prohibited me ever driving a bike. I do have a licence but have never driven one. I call it my "licence to kill" Or be killed, more likely. Get well soon.

    Ta guys.

    Yeah, I'd dropped in on Jeffs event on the Mon; Tues I got hit riding the bike down the Bogong High Plains Rd. KO'd and no memory of it but looking at bike and gear figure I clipped or was clipped by an oncoming vehicle.

    3 days in hospital and two ops on the right wrist for multiple fractures. The 'wet carpenter' put in a plate with 6 screws (being semi-conscious I could hear him asking for a #23 screw or somesuch), then the 2nd time round he did some wiring up of bones. Nec for a woodturner he reckoned.

    So it'll be 5 weeks in a cast and then the wires come out.

    Had great care in the 2 Gippsland hospitals and a New Year's day to remember. Not.

    Worst thing was coming off the 2 day morphine high,

    And it would be the right hand
    Cheers, Ern

    Thanks guys.

    Shoot! DJ, didn't a cleansing diet of beer and chips do the job? What a sod. Your patience must be being tested big time.
    Cheers, Ern

    I've stacked a few bikes over the years and it's no fun. You mend and forget quickly though. That's life.

    I hope you can return to the lathe quickly Ern. All the best.

    Sorry to hear about your accident, A mate I work with did much the same thing just out of Omeo in November. Wrote his bike off, broke three ribs

    When your feeling better and are down this way next let me know and we can catch up for a coffee or something stronger maybe.
    I try and do new things twice.. the first time to see if I can do it.. the second time to see if I like it

    Ern,

    look after yourself. Geez.... what can I say?

    (Get off the motor bike. It's like pleasure and pain.)

    Great to see you in one piece over the break. And hopefully see you soon.
