Tuesday I had this staple removed from my knee, it was helping to secure the a.c.l allegraph I got last November. It is an inch long and about 3/8th's wide,I was surprised it was as long as it is.Thursday "T" day, we had our first snow, a good dusting,I always enjoy seeing it come down,and our pre Thanksgivin day ride was a blast,the knee held up great,Wednesday it hurt pretty bad,like I had been hit in the shin with a hammer,but it was much better "T"day than I thought it would be, so I met four others at the lower loch raven trails for an excelent ride,no snow down there though,just a bit wet,I was looking forward to a pedel in the snow.I went home to the warmth,cleaned up and went to two turky dinners, happy and full,of food my new bike and knee.
