I DIDN'T Ride My Bike Today, Cuzz....

Stupidly, I argued with the concrete masquerading as dirt at CHSP with the result being a shoulder separation and three fractured ribs. I'll be hoofing, not riding for three weeks, the longest I've been off the bike in 40 years (IIRC).

Wow - that's rough. :eek: :thumbsdown:

If you can recover from broken ribs and a separated (same as dislocated?) shoulder in 3 weeks, you are superhuman. My dislocated shoulder (at 50 yo) took me two months of sometimes-agonizing physical therapy, and my broken ribs (at 57 yo) required a solid 6 weeks.

Thanks for the kind words; they facilitate optimism. The ribs didn't puncture a lung, so I'm giving them two weeks; the shoulder thing is new to me so maybe three.

I hope you're right.

And at the risk of being Debbie Downer, I have never seen that timeline for those injuries. For me with the same injuries - the ribs were around 4-6 weeks and the shoulder was about 6-8 wks. If you heal in two weeks, I want some of whatever you are taking.

The ribs are basically healed, and I would be riding if I wasn't afraid the shoulder might "collapse". The best way for me to get back on the bike is to hike (UGH!), which I've done the last four days in a row (no fun especially with your arm in a sling). If I can keep this up, I'll be riding soon.

Separated shoulder is a pull or a tear of the ligament between between clavicle and scapula. not the same thing as a dislocated shoulder, which is humerus pulled out of the socket. Depending on the grade of the separated shoulder. healing times vary. I had a shoulder separation caused by a crash in 2008 and couldnt really ride anythiung rough for i think six weeks. Took months for it to completely go away to where I couild lift weights again.

I hate to say it, but hiking is starting to be fun, and you're exactly correct that you get to see more (plus with some of the more comely attractions, for a longer interval). It'll do for a few more days.

why hate to say it? i love hiking. Hope you heal up soon and hope I didnt sound to negative in my above post. every injurys different. my SS was pretty bad, hope yours is mild
 
I've gone back down the rabbit hole I put aside about 20 years ago, that many people in California think is seditious. I guess I needed another expensive hobby since I retired.

Parsing powder type, bullet weight, muzzle velocity and downrange energy is math. And time consuming. But I had forgotten just how fun it is.

Fellow reloader here.
You sound like a rifle guy.

Me it's handgun at this time.
Just getting my bench finished up.
I had a dedicated room at my place in Garden Grove.
 
.41 Magnum Model 57.
12 gauge 870 Fieldmaster.
12 gauge Remington UMC Model 10 (about 100 years old, was my dad's, shouldn't be fired according to gunsmith).
.303 Enfield No 4 Mk 1 - need to get it checked out.
Hawthorne Warrior M820B (Mossberg) .22 bolt action.

I'll probably only reload for the .41 and the Enfield. Shotgun shells are cheap. .22s are also cheap.

I have too many and my spousal unit has more than me.
Handguns from .22 to 44mag.
Rifles from .22 to 7mm Rem. Mag
Shotguns from .410 to 12ga.
And a few wheel guns from the 1950's.

If you need anything, let me know.
We should meet uo one day and shoot the $hit

I have a 410 also. I have a MEC jr reloader I never use anymore. My reloading expert friend passed away and I don’t have a safe place to store powder and don’t remember the formulas he used. Do you have a reloaded for the 410?

I don't have anything to load shotgun rounds.
We have a couple of boxes of ammo for the 410.
