20 Apr 2009 Project 365 – Day 15 – The Toe
 |  Category: Project 365  | One Comment

Wow, yesterday was a hoot!

As I was being quite sensible by riding my bike to Pats, I thought it would be an easy ride home. I decided to go under South Road along Linear Park as there wouldn’t be any traffic that I would have to dance with. I managed to take the corner to the Underpass a little wide and I rubbed along the chain-mesh fence – I felt a little tingling on my foot, and thought I might have taken some skin off from the fence (I’m not sure how many times I’ve been told “Don’t ride your bike with thongs on!”).

I was about half-way home and a DVD fell out of my pocket, I jumped off the bike and looked down as I was feeling a little unsteady – I put both feet together and noticed something wasn’t quite right.

I got home and asked Kylie if she would kindly take me up to the Hospital as I may have broken a toe – it was sticking out perpendicular to my foot.

Here’s what I found…

 

Poor Pinky

Poor Pinky

My first broken bone is my pinky!

On Saturday I made a tackle and dragged a big guy over onto my chest, I could hardly breathe for the rest of the game. I got it x-ray’d also, the Dr. said it was just a little bruised.

I still can’t believe my chest hurts so much more then my foot!!!

SUNDAY Session!!

Today was a much more exciting day! I rode my bike around Pats in the morning and we went to Hindmarsh Stadium to watch the Sharks V Cowboys.

I’ve included this photo as it’s Bazz ripping down a Sharks flag so he can get it signed after the game, very funny to watch!

He got away with it…

Bazz gave it to one of his work mates to get it signed – all the players signed the wrong side!! Very funny.

Playing with Schnitzel and tuning up my bike, while drinking a few black russians.

Just a relaxing night.

Wow… I was just reading back through my old posts and comments and realised I have done jack shit since may last year! I need a turn-around. Today I got some really bad news about personal finances, that is the one thing that really makes my gut twist into a knot. Like what my mentor Tony Robbins says (paraphrasing) “if it hurts or causes pain it usually means something has to change” – and change it is Tony – thanks buddy.

Day 11, geez hard work trying to take a photo and upload it everyday. I’m a little behind but I should be up-to-date soon.

This pic is my (nearly) one week old brake pads, I can’t believe i’ve worn through to the metal already!

Today was great! It started with some oats for breaky, then a nice walk on the beach for about an hour or so… quite peaceful

I then went for 9 holes of golf at Belair (awful game! I shot 50 >_<)

Then we rushed to Belair Hotel to watch the rest of the Western Bulldogs game to which they smashed Richmond, a few beers later then I was home relaxing writing this post. I better get to bed for golf tomorrow morning.

Nite

Games day today!

A few people bailed, but I’m kinda glad they did – I had 10 people round and logistics were difficult enough. It was hard trying to keep things fun and people interested.

1:30pm: BBQ Started while we waited for a few to arrive.

 

Game 1. Golf-Chip:

Bazz was the winner (unfortunately I didn’t get any pics).

 

Game 2. Totem Tennis:

We got two sets in and then the ball broke… ;(

 

Game 3. Pebble Beach Putt Putt

Paterno won that game – not really much to report on, it was a mat on the grass – pretty simple.

The darkness started setting in…

Game 4. Horses for Courses

I’m not too sure who was winning as there was a fair bit of interference on the course from Davo (one of the Jockey’s).

Game 5. Dart Footy

Football was the game, I’m not sure who won, it was getting pretty messy by now.

Game 6. Texas Hold’em

We all needed to play, Pauly jumped to an early lead, then he cashed in and went home, then I cleaned up the rest of the cash – thanks guys.

We got a little bored and went for a walk to the IGA on the corner of Holbrooks and Henley Beach Road. We were approaching the deli and we saw this weird dark figure on the ground, we finally got closer and found it was a girl laying there on the concrete, the pic really tells how we found her.

Biz (in the pic) went and checked if she was still alive, pretty soon after, the security guard from IGA came out and checked what was happening, she jumped up and ran straight out onto the road – she nearly hit 3 cars (only by them either screaming on the brakes, or swerving hard). The Security dude ran after her and threw her onto the footpath and called the ambo. That was pretty much it, as soon as she started screaming that she needed more pills we were no longer needed.

Still a little hung over… Dad popped round to help me put up another sensor light and put together my WEAPON! It’s a beauty, come to think of it, I really didn’t do much to put it together, he really did umm… yeah all of it.

I was the test rider, she started farting and spluttering for a little while – then we changed the spark plug and now she runs like a dream.

I can’t wait to ride to work on Tuesday
