    Hey Ric, how's the healing going?

    Too slowly for me - the radius has a plate and there is a screw holding the lunate together.

    I need to focus some attention on the VFR now.

    Sorry to hear that you're not pleased with the progress. But getting that beauty of a bike back together should make you feel better.

    I've created a permanent pucker mark on my seat from deer sightings. We have a pretty smart herd here in Perry Park. Then again, people drive nice and slow here in the neighborhood. But in Sept and Oct they're jumping all over Rt 105. In the Fall I don't drive the back roads after dark. At least in the daylight you can see them coming. Most of the time. A couple of months ago I hit the brakes hard when I saw a shadow in the field to my left. It was an elk. I stopped about 10 feet in front of it. It looked at me like, "wha-aat," and sauntered across the road. That might be one of the few cases that would justify laying it down if I couldn't stop in time. Slide under the guy and maybe survive.

    Anyway, here's a link to a story about a guy who hit a deer driving his BMW but after he stopped, he couldn't find it anywhere....
