No more wheeling for me.... I sold two of my heeps & the others are not built to crawl....Infact I have not wheeled in over a year, Doctors orders... Until I have back surgery wich I am postponing as long as I can as possible... I like to wipe my own a$$-- unless I have a very good lookin nurses aid for the first 3 months of recovery then I will have the surgery...So Get out & have fun & dont be a web wheeler(LIKE ME KNOW) be sure to bring your cameras & post some pictures up Please leave out the drive way shots

Yeah, nice pics!
Bummer about the back problems man.
I don't like doctors, all they ever do is tell me things I already know, and fix things that I could have fixed just as fine by myself. My dad was a paramedic for 22 years, and is now a massage therapist, I know how to fix people pretty well.
Case and point, I got bit by a dog about a year ago, it bit me in the face, it was a Bull Mastif, it hurt, there was lots of blood. (long story short, the dog jumped a fence and bit me). I go in (after having to take a minute to calm down and not shoot the dog dead in front of it's owners, it wasn't my dog) and flush all the punctures and wounds, I flush them good first with saline, then with Hydrogen Peroxide. I was fully ready to get out the sterri strips (basically strips of fiber glass that is glued on the skin with "skin glue", aka, super glue, and hold the wound together just like stitches, just with less risk of infection, abnormal healing, etc..) and glue my face back together.
Meanwhile, my mother and mother-in-law are freaking the heck out, yelling at me, and my wife (at the time, fiance) is about in tears, and my father-in-law is really freakin' pissed. I decide to ablige them and go to the ER. I get there, wait there till 2 in the morning, and what do they do? They give me Hydrocodone (without telling me too, so I drove home high), "flush" the wound, which consisted of them letting saline simply run OVER the wounds, not ever trying to clean out the wounds, give me the number for Animal Control, give me antibiotics that I wasn't gunna take cause I didn't want to have the runs for two weeks, then send me on my way with a $1400 bill. Who knew a 1 liter bottle of saline costed $35?... They gave me some bandaids, offered to stich the largest flap of skin back on (useless, it would have died either way), and nothing else...
It was stupid, I drove home high, literally halucinating while driving, at 4am. Get home, throw away the antibiotics, sleep for two hours, get up, go to work...
The end result? None of my family and soon to be family wanted to throttle me, and I got "cleaned up" in a much poorer fashion than I did immediatly after I got bit.
This has happened many times, I hate doctors and ER's, I know when I'm hurt enough to go to one (broken arm! Yes! I will gladly go to the ER for that!!!), but if it's dumb stuff I can remedy my self, don't even mention a doctor to me...

Do you hear banjos?
YO, AZ guys!! My Mother recently moved to Phoenix. How would some of you Phoenix area guys feel about taking a Rocky Mountaineer out for some fun in the sun?? I have no idea when, but have to think that I could get down there at some point. It would be cool to trailer the XJ down, and meet up with some of you AZ CF guys for some wheeling!! What do you guys think?? I know you guys have some excellent wheeling down there!!
