davo and i had a good laugh yesterday.

 

ewok: how often do you have to do a compassion test davo?

davo: eerr, i don't know.

ewok: maybe every time you go back country?

davo: hmmm.. ewok, why compassion test?

ewok: took rac by evergreen last weekend and evergreen dave taught us how to do a compassion test.

davo: i took that course many years ago. interesting, that's what you learn in a class now?

ewok: yes, it's a very important test, using shavel and snow saw, make a fine square snowpack to see the fracture.

davo: that's "compression" test ewok... eek.gif

ewok: aw... tired.gif compassion and compression, almost the same? hmm.. what's compassion test like then?

davo: compassion test with ft would be like... blush.gif

 

ft: here we are, steep eh.

davo: time for our compassion test?

(ft and davo facing each other and holding both hands)

davo: how are you feeling today, are you compassionate enough to shoot this line?

ft: yes, cuz im wearing this cute purple jactet, feeling very compassionate. how about you?

davo: don't know, im wearing black but im compassionate inside.

ft: we set then?

davo: guess so, compassionate enough to go.

ft: let's do it.

davo: yes let's.

thanks for the get-well wishes everyone.

 

went to the hospital in tokyo this morning b/c we don't trust the place i went to on saturday.

got 3 x-rays, some shippu, a bandage wrap, and pain killers. it's either part of my ACL or my MCL (medial meniscus ligament); will go back and see the sports specialist--the same guy who helped me with my wrist four years ago--on wednesday.

 

but, the good news is that i'm walking without cruches. what dumb trick to try.

mr. wiggles said it best at Tracks Saturday nite: "ooooh, terje, one-footing it! ooo!!" u can always count on your SJ buddies to laugh at you when you do some dumbas thing.

 

Friday's epic TR coming up momentarily

How was your day?


You know how my day went on Sun, Kuma and I went to the big triangle from the 2nd cairn. turns up top were decent, little wind blown. It was sluff city everywhere you looked today. Snow got super heavy in lower elevations. Sluff was snowballing to Volkswagon size rollers.

All and all a good day for me. I used some of my new skills, recognized hazards, I'll give myself a B+ in sluff management which was priority in lower elevations today. We worked the snow and the terrain pretty well, stayed safe in less than ideal conditions and didn't get wet at the river crossing... well I didn't \:D

Dizzy, didn't realise it was that bad. But sounds like you are on top of it. I hope it heals up clean for you.

 

Okemoloon, I should have taken a day off today to... practice my new route-finding skills. Although in seriousness I would actually have liked to have done that, as well as get some turns out.

dude, we destroyed it...literally lol.gif we looked back at the bottom and we had sluffed the entire lookers left half. Okemo got chased by Frosty the snowman lol.gif

 

re: the river crossing

I threw my board into a pile of snow but it bounced off and into the river d'oh. So, to show support for my poor board I just jumped in and grabbed it and ran across. My boots didn't really get wet though.

Okemo, on the other hand, tip toed across the rocks like the ballerina he is and didn't touch the water....

but he was soaked from sweat.

As for the river crossing, I was dam graceful.

Oyuki kigan, I had fun at your jib fest. Watching people take slams is always a great way to end the day. Some pretty sick stuff went down for a backyard jam. All for a good cause as well, glad I could come out and support.

i went to the doctor this morning. surgery is unlikely. it's my MCL (medial/inner) knee ligament that's been over-extended. i'm getting a knee brace soon. i'm just glad i don't need surgery.

got a knee brace from the doctor today. it's definitely my MCL. the pain has gone done down considerably. i'm just glad i don't need surgery.

 

when i do a soccer-ball-catch-like movement, the pain is incredible.

 

the next few weeks have to be written off.
