Wow, our new key just jumped up on my lap. I don't think I ever actually broke a bone. When I was in high school, probably my senior year, I caught a football on the end of my thumb, and I sprained it pretty bad. I was bad because I still remember it after, you know, 60 years or whatever. When I started with Coca-Cola, I got laid off in the wintertime the first year. So I took my son Troy up to Mt. Hood and rented an inner tube, and we were sliding down the hill. Oh, I put him on my lap. I think he's only about five years old. I put him on my lap, slid down the hill, hit a final little bump, and stopped. Well, this big guy behind us didn't stop, and I put up my foot to block the fall or the hit and hit my big toe, and boy, the next day I couldn't even walk. And since I was laid off from my job, I had to go into the unemployment office, and I couldn't have worked if they had a job for me. But anyway, that toe bothered me the rest of my life, and every time I get out of my truck, you know, I step down, it hurt me. But, you see, spraying is worse than a break, I guess. It seemed like that was for me for years. Anyway, after I retired, I finally got so bad I went to the doctor, and he said, well, I can put a pin in it, and you'll be on crutches for six months, or this new thing, he put a ball. I don't know if people old enough probably know what a jawbreaker is. But he put a ball in there, and now my big toe swivels on that ball, and the pain pretty much went away, so that part's okay. And I had back surgery here about a year ago, and they put two pins in my back and a titanium wedge, and that didn't go too well. Then they put shots in my back. That didn't work. I had to wait six months. They put shots in my back a second time. That did work, and I still have some lower pain there, but at least it's not the hard pain. Anyway, that's my two cents. I'm sticking with it too. KV-7, PVW, I'm back to net or I didn't time out.
