Howdy - here I go ...

[Mike from AB]

So there I was sitting at my desk eating lunch and working on my paperwork when a crumb of bread shoots down the wrong pipe. I start coughing and as I reach for my coffee mug I pass clean out. BAM! I wake up on the floor wondering etc. As I roll over on my left side I find a new adventure in pain. I try getting up and the ol' leg says no way. I pull myself up using my desk and arms and try to man up and walk it off. Nothing doing, the leg won't hold my weight. So off to the ER for lots of fun for the next 7 hours. Broke my left fibula and severely sprained the ankle. Of all the stupid and rough shit I have done in 55 years of living I have never broken a major bone. Rodeo, football, wrestling, 20 years in the Navy, hiking, climbing, and biking to name a few, I have been hit by cars and no I break a leg eating lunch. How fucking dumb is that?

Amazed with all that you have t broken anything yet until now. Well bones do get more brittle I guess. I'm assuming you're not doing rodeo  football anymore. Prayers sent up for quick healing my friend!

My friends and brothers thank you for all the support over these 2 years. We started a tradition in my family of celebrating the yearly mark with hitting a great burger joint. Last year we went to Hodads and this year we went to Slater's 50/50. I have lost 16 pounds on my diet thus far and I think that burger may have given me half that back. ? Great food and friends and beer. Had a great night. I wouldn't be celebrating if it weren't for all you guys helping me get here. 'archer'

Glad to celebrate with you at least I. Spirit as I'm only a couple days away. Find that very hard to believe. But here we are at almost 2 years now.

Congrats Bearhawk, two years is an awesome accomplishment. The weight loss is also fantastic, every now and then you gotta cheat and that burger sounds like the great way to do just that. Glad to see that your whole family is behind you and celebrating that great milestone with you.

So 700 days come Tuesday ... I remember the day I quit and it seems like not so long ago. Back then I really didn't think I would make it. Now I know I will never go back. NAFAR Who'd a thunk after near 40 years of dipping I'd find a group of fellow hard cases to help me finally kick that ol' nic bitch in the ass. Great days bros. ? Chillin' ? Costal

Congrats man. I am only 17 days in and hope I never catch up to you.
