I always hoped there would be a radio station (yeah, I'm old school) with those call letters.
Turns out there is. KAOS 89.3 in Olympia, WA.

As a kid I didn't figure out that chaos wasn't spelled with a K for a loooong time.

So you are K-Oss and Greg is the G-Reg... Seems you have your very own Get Smart as it is now.

Better than Christmas!
Never thought I would get so excited about a Trainer.
See Doctor Bob tomorrow and going to see if I can strap my road bike in this bad boy and start spinning! Way better than walking with two canes!
Found out I can’t start work on Monday as I’m not released from my Ortho. I see her next Thursday at 1:00pm. Kinda good as I’m a little leary of starting Monday. Mentally I’m so ready to go back to work, but I still need two canes to get around and NGC is a vastly huge place where walking is lots!
I’m such a blessed dude, and so thankful for everything. My Spouse, my awesome job, my iMTB Family!

You are blessed! Hope you’re cleared to use that bad boy soon! I bought one too, Cycle Ops magnetic...but like you, I need to get approval from the doc first.

I couldn’t pass Dr. Bob’s test to be able to hit up my Trainer. I got to wait at least another week!

Easy to say because I am not going through it but it seems like only yesterday you two had your injuries. Before you know it you will be lycra clad roadies spinning into oblivion on your trainers. Followed shortly of course by baby steps on the MTB.Crapola! I’m in the same boat

Understood...Easy to say because I am not going through it but it seems like only yesterday you two had your injuries. Before you know it you will be lycra clad roadies spinning into oblivion on your trainers. Followed shortly of course by baby steps on the MTB.
I know you are trying to make us feel better...
Below is what my head thinks without a filter...
"Only Yesterday!" was July 11th, 5 frikin' weeks ago yesterday!5 weeks of not riding, not driving, not working, not sleeping, just pain, and miserable "half mile" walks with walkers and canes. Slow, methodical, painful...
I am a winner, competitive, a champion, a driver, delay is not an option. Everything is competition, even those stupid recovery walks are on STRAVA and I am analyzing distance, speed, and elevation gain. I even set up some segments to compare to. I can't help myself, I'm the horse chomping at the bit, in the gates, ready for my run. looking for the next opportunity to advance.
Time is ticking and I have little time left.
Now I'm trying to figure out how to train for Dr. Bob's test next Thursday."

Yeah, yeah, yeah...
I know what you are thinking. But I got to thinking about Dr. Bob's test, and the one thing he was NOT considering, was my LEFT leg!
So...
In all honesty, It was Mrs. Watson's idea. She told me I could try it for 5 minutes and she actually set a timer! Man! She is tough!
(So I spun for 8 MINUTES!
)
That's right!

Funny you should say that as the hardest part was getting on and off the bike!
Spinning the pedals was absolute heaven with zero discomfort!
