Back from the war
Hey AirRap, I can't believe you are still there. You must have residence status by now. I bet you can get your hunting license cheaper now.
The dislocated shoulder was the worst pain I have ever felt. I'm glad they knocked me out to put it back.
I do have nerf bars, I just have to remember I'm not on a bike and keep my feet on the pegs. I did manage to bust the heal guard though.
I think I will pass on the racing this weekend. I will go back to the gravel pit and show that bump who's the boss though.
We did manage to get all the holes fixed on the runways at Baghdad and the airport is open for business. Just in case you were thinking of a new place to vacation. I don't reccomend eating the food though.
I'll post some pics soon.

I wanna thank you for your services overseas.
In reality,you went there with your life on hold and much uncertainty so people like me could stay home and work and play and save up money for toys and a house.
i don't think a lot of people who speak/spoke out about the war look at it in that light.
Especially the scumbags in hollywood who give their 2 cents.
Just wanted to thank you and sorry to hear about your accident though.

So you mean to tell me that war was substantially less hazardous to your health than riding the quad?
GEEEZ man...way to get it all out of your system at once
did you at least...kiss your wife before you shoved her out of the way of your true love?
Glad you are back

I second Lboy- Thank you, you got much respect from me. My brother is over there right now, and I can't wait till he comes back. Sorry to hear about your injuries, that sucks! I dislocated my shoulder and broke my collar bone last year while snowboarding. I hit a jump way too fast, went very, very high, and landed on my face! then shoulder! At least now I know what its like to fly!!!!

RaptorJay,
This is way more information than you were looking for, but you'll find it funny. I got home real late on the 2nd and after doing airports and customs for 26 hours, sleep was pretty much the only thing on my mind. On the 3rd we got up, fed the animals and blasted off for the wife's folks house for the weekend. We got home on the 5th and I was FINALLY ready to spend some quality one-on-one time with my wife (if you know what I mean). While she was taking a bath I thought I would get a quicky from my true love, you know, a quick trip to the gravel pit and back. Well, I never made it back. You think Baghdad was dangerous...Hell hath no fury as a wife left wanting. I buckled so hard I even told her I was going to sell the Raptor and get a "Utility Quad".
I've since come to my senses about selling the Raptor, but I'm still pretty deep in the dog house.
