Well, the harness that operates my hook finally broke....been living with no opposing member for 2 weeks....like not having a thumb. Since I moved, the insurance I had basically dropped off....so I was expecting a big bill for this service. I fortunately found a clinic under the same Hanger name where I originally got the arm built. It was 108 miles away, which was alot closer than the original location in Portland which is 280 miles from me. It turned out really well as I got the harness repaired w/ a new HD cable as well. Really glad I returned to the company that built it....didn't have to fill out any paperwork & was able to order 2 new harness' & 8 new arm socks for just over 100 bux. 3+ yrs. ago was the last time I had any dealings with them....drove 280 miles to only get short-changed with a crap cable that broke in 3 days time. So since then, I've been buying pre-cut shift cables from a bike shop only 20 miles away, to keep it operable. Thank God that my Medicare covered 80% of the cost, because anything prosthetic is just stoopid expensive! Now I'm able to finish the projects in my garage & keep riding the 'Goose more often. The real icing on the cake was when the missus & I got home, we finally got a message from my oldest boy who's been working in Israel as a PMC (pc term for Mercenary)...he said it's pretty hectic there right now, but he's working on coming home stateside after Christmas...which left me pretty stoked as I haven't seen him in over 3 & a half years. I couldn't be more proud of him....miss him terribly, but he did also attach this holiday greeting....7 points

There are definitely times when I feel like a Borg....I think it freaks some folks out, but I love how some kids react to it. I met a little girl once that thought my cable was attached Internally. Then there's some lads that think it's the koolest thing since sliced bread...6 points

I can relate to that metal staple thing.....they pulled 150 of 'em outta my right side of my chest....before they chopped off my toes. Fortunately, I felt only about 3 of those. Take it from me....MRSA is nothing but a Bitch!5 points

Working tonight and Sunday. Singing on the Quay at Padstow twice on Sunday afternoon. Gotta try and get a walk in everyday now, started today, only an hour but it's something. Try and get some European rugby in and ride the freshly serviced bike of course. I would like to get up on the Moor tomorrow if I can.4 points

My little biker chick she is no longer the (20 years old now) little granddaughter, rides about on her 125cc scoot, and bless her she keeps it clean, i think she will keep using it to get to her work, but she doubts that she will progress further into 2 wheel territory, because the insurance for this scoot is frightening, hope it drops somewhat after her 1st year riding.4 points

To be honest mate I’ve resisted so far but my missus looked at me this morning and said in a voice that wasn’t to be questioned, “I think we should put the Xmas decorations up today, what do you think?”…….it was most definitely a rhetorical question. Our house is like Santa’s Grotto now.3 points

I have put the outside lights up, they look shite like every year, no artistic flare me, they will do, wife (short arse ) can't reach them to rearrange them in a pleasing arrangement, and I can't be arsed too. She and the granddaughter will put up the Christmas tree (3ft artificial) after we have collect her from school...Ho Ho Ho.2 points

Yes but there is a subtle difference. A munter with a London accent is just a munter but a munter with a Bristol accent is ‘charming’2 points
