Planning Season Opener: Maurice-Lanaudière-Laurentides
PLAYHARD replied to PLAYHARD's topic in General Discussion
Got the best news possible today. I just had a seismic shift of old bones . The ligaments/tendons/junk are in place. And my new fav doc prescribed... SLEDDING! So tour #2 will go as planned the week after next! Thanks for the laugh therapy in the meantime! I'll know where to go when I'm cooped up for 2-3 months when they stretch my left leg back out! Imagine what this gent could do to a long track?! www.ettorevulcano.com/index.php/aesthetic-stature-lengthening-and-leg-length-discrepancy/ Here's the crew story... From: David Sent: Friday, January 18, 2019 12:50 PM Cc: Lucy Subject: FW: Snow '19! Dear Sledheads! All is well! Or at least it’s gonna be soon! Background: Last Saturday night (1/12) I felt a sudden "pop" and subsequent (insane) pain in the center of my left foot while walking (somewhat) normally on flat ground. So Berkshire Medical Center ER in Pittsfield ordered zero weight bearing and a compression boot, cancelling Quebec Tour #1. (It’s really pretty funny how medical pros smile & shake their heads when they first see x-rays of my lower extremities, considering the carnage from my bike wreck back in ‘86!) Big thanks to my BEST WIFE EVER who made this last week fun by bringing home a rented scooter, like the ones the blue-hairs ride around from slot machine to slot machine to the buffet in the casinos! It’s no coincidence that we bought a ranch house! Today: We saw an amazing foot specialist in the city: www.ettorevulcano.com And are SO SO SO relieved that I didn’t tear the Plantar Fascia! (Web of tendons/ligaments?) Anyway!... He said: He’s surprised I’ve been able to tolerate walking on the badly-badly deformed & arthritic left foot all these (32) years. And what happened last week was likely some “rusty” bone-on-bone shifting/settling. And the pain should most likely lessen in time, (hopefully) before the next snowmobile trip (1/28). And I can get back to weight bearing, etc, and for increasing activity level: “Let the pain be your guide” And I should put off fusion of the left foot as long as possible because it’s a major recovery, and further limits motion. And even though the arthritis & spur fusion on my right big-toe proximal phalange is BAD, as long as it doesn’t bother me… I shouldn’t bother it! And I should call to schedule a left femur re-lengthening when I’ve got 2 or 3 months to spare. www.ettorevulcano.com/index.php/aesthetic-stature-lengthening-and-leg-length-discrepancy/ And I should put off the imminent left knee replacement until after full recovery from the left leg re-lengthening. And he agreed with me that I should lose 50lbs stat! So! As previously stated!... Tout va bien! David -
I am in the new section 5th floor. Room is really nice but I feel I am in another zip code area from the bar.

Just ordered my second shield from my dealer, as the one they git me was still the older one, and it failed in Quebec this week. Good thing I brought some silicon with me
-
I'm riding a Snowbike this year too - we will see how it works out. Mont Valin in early Feb for a week!

Wow 2500 miles this year already! I could only dream

Stayed there years ago when the ice hotel was there. Very nice and very pricey. Stayed in the main hotel one time and another time rented a chalet right in front. I would do the chalets again but not so much the hotel mainly because of lugging your bags in and out to the snowmobiles and possibly having to use the elevator. Just one of those places you are overheated till you climb on the sled to pull out

He absolutely loves the new helmet. No problems with it. And he couldn't be any happier with his new 600R. He is now Ricky Racer and darn hard to keep up with! FarmerOld tried his other new 900 Enduro and found out he shouldn't have put the HD rear springs on his. After trying the spare and loving it, he is now like Mario Andretti after winning a race. He is grinning ear to ear. He is extremely pleased how the spare sled handles and rides. Note: I have moved to rm #554 in the new section. Very nice room. mike

Mike How's JAK doing with his new helmet? Later GutZ
-
I have not, but it was where the Ice Hotel use to be (10 Years Ago?). When we visited it, it was a nice looking place. They had several outdoor activities skiing/shoeing/etc.... Family atmosphere. Most likely not the info you were hoping for. GutZ

2500 miles on it so far. Some pretty extreme Québec conditions. Absolutely no issues. If it gets close to ice or fog, I plug it in and it’s perfect. Best helmet for me ever.

Yesterday JAK and I rode with GKW to St. Pamphile and GKW continued on to his rig. He got a reading of neg 19 in the high elevation just before Hiboux Club house. It felt it. The new Choko coat came through with flying colors. Last night drinks with Gaf, Ed and Dan. Thank you Gaf for the drink and getting in touch. Have a great trip. Later in evening it was catching up with the Maritime Province crew., Turns out the one year I worked in a Maine border town, I used to go to a bar at the border to meet beautiful Canadian ladies. Andyman came to the same bar to meet beautiful American women. Always great to see Andy and Steve and crew, safe travels finishing your trip guys.

Spoke to two riders in RDL this morning headed for the ferry . After telling them if may or may not be up and running, they called and were assured it is now in fact running daily.
