Lol,

My wife ask the same thing. Well as I age I find that I do t sleep as much as I used to. As you can probably tell I watch a lot of you tube videos to keep my mind busy.

I am full aware of the “click bait” phenomenon and try to avoid a lot of that propaganda. I multi source a lot of info.

Also the forum seems pretty dead right now so I try to keep info out there that others might find interesting until we get closer to kick off and tip off time. Then I figure it will be my turn to just sit back and watch and read everyone else’s comments.

Yesterday I did take my family out for some fresh air to do some light hiking. We arrived at a popular site about the same time as emergency personnel. Someone had dislocated their angle and so we watched rescue personnel climb up this steep mountain terrain and use ropes to get this guy back down off of the mountain ridge. That was pretty awesome to watch them at work. It took along time to get the person back down to the canyon floor.

I fell hiking a pretty narly trail in Hawaii. Drilled my head on a rock and twisted my ankle pretty bad. We were two miles from the car. My wife asked if I could hoof it out and I was like, "what's our other option?" She found me a walking stick and I spent 2 hours hobbling through mud, rock, and a lot of elevation changes. It was brutal. We looked it up afterwards and there are rescue teams that can come get you via helicopter or on foot, but it takes them a while to get to you. Shit happens.

Long answer to my question and that's ok. I've noticed our middle of the night posts before and have thought about commenting. As I age, I don't sleep all that well and that's probably why I noticed your post times.

Yeah I have posted in the mid morning hours many times after 300 am Iowa time. My wife works graveyards at the Provo hospital which is the second largest in the State of Utah.

She has seen her share of careless hikers come in, along with ton's of road rash and broken bones form people wrecking their motorcycles due to not wearing proper protecting clothing (as far as road rash goes). Generally the motorcyclists are not at fought in most accident's. The culprits are other drivers not thoroughly checking for traffic or being blinded by the sun or blind spots in their cars.

Glad to hear you got back safely after your fall. How did your wife feel afterwards about hitting your head as to whether it knocked some sense into you or out of you? Lol, I kid, I kid.
