No Central Wednesday ROMEO Lunch Ride for 02-18-09
Posted: Thu Feb 12, 2009 9:21 pm
Guys - The weather is still too cold for a comfortable day of riding. Besides I need a bit of a break from a recent accident. Motorcycles are safe....right? Darn Toot'in it's at home where a guy normally gets injured.
Such was the case today when....I fell out of my kitchen. Nope, you heard me right! I fell out of my kitchen!
Now, here I am hobbling around on one leg and the right side of my face is banged up where I hit the wife's car bumper and to add insult to injury, I landed in the cat's litter box. At least that was where I was when I woke up.
Must'a knocked me unconscious for a short bit cause the wife was tugg'in on me telling me lunch was on the table! Not a bit of concern for me just laying there. Must have thought I was just checking out something under the engine of her car.
I guess I had better explain lest you think I'm an idiot. Well....never mind!
It was just before lunch today. We had just gotten back from our granddaughters home school recital at the nursing home and Joyce was busy about fix'in something to eat for lunch when I noticed some lunch meat package scraps on the counter and, like a good husband should, I picked them up, took them over to the door to the garage where we keep the trash can. I opened the door and being in my tender stocking feet just held the door jam, leaned over to toss the scrap into the can when my sock must have slipped on the step and I took a fall down two steps injuring my very delicate heel and smashing my right ear onto the very hard bumper of her precious Mercedes. Once again her Mercedes was in the way (a prior experience of a bike tumbling off of a lift onto the hood of a Mercedes readily comes to mind here).
Oh, the litter box. Yep, that's exactly where we keep it. Just at the nose of her car right next to the stairs.
The bumper must have temporarily knocked me out or I would have immediately gotten myself out of the box which by the way i failed to clean out last nite. Yuk!
So you see, life around here is seldom without it's little thrills and it's also while I'm now on crutches!
It's also why I could use a bit of R&R for next week. Richard
