OMB status update

[bomber]

All

OMB is home, and, as they say, resting comfrotably.

She had an unplanned person/asphalt interface last Saturday at TWISTar up near LaCross, Wisconsin.

That's the bad news.

The good news is that a couple of rider/EMTs happened on the scene immediately, and took the proper steps -- along with that, many other kind souls (you know who you are) stopped and helped, or appropriately stayed out of the way and kept me from becoming a problem to the pros . . . .

Gunderson Lutheran in LaCross is aces, I'm here to tell ya.

Damage to the bike (because you are who you are, and someone will ask) is cosmetic -- what's the best product for removing freash tar and asphalt from the crooks and nannies of a motorcycle?

OMB won't be riding for a bit, and I will be learning how to put allllllll those flowers she bought last weekend into the ground properly -- a new skil for me, one which OMB says she will happily oversee!

Lastly, Brook and I are both greatly touched by the literal outpouring of offers of assistance, prayers, good wishes, and all 'round goodness coming from you all . . . . .thank you so much, and, rest assured, if there's anything you can do, we'll fire a flare.

Love,

Us

First: Sorry to hear the news. I missed it.

Second: Glad to hear she's home and will be able to supervise the flower planting.  

[sleazy rider]

Yikes!  Good to hear you still have your gardening supervisor in one piece and functioning.  Heal quick, OMB.

What he said ^^^^^
I hate to hear about these mishaps but glad it didn't turn out worse.

We have yet to see the bill from the county for the road damage . . . . Irish girls are tough, I tell ya!

[Dan K]

Keep us posted.  Understood why you might not make the BBQ at Clays, but please plant those flowers quickly if it will make a difference.  Glad she's ok.

- Dan

[Capirex]

Sorry to hear of the off.  Sending good thoughts.

Not surprised at your lack of green fingers - the task is not nearly noisy enough.  Glad to hear she'll be able to oversee things.

[CLAY]

Wow- glad she's home and recuperating and that it wasn't worse.  Now get on those flowers!  

[sammyseaman]

 . . . . Irish girls are tough, I tell ya!

Tis true  

[jadziadax8]

Oh no!  I'm glad to hear that Brook is OK and recovering.  If you want, John, I could also help with the gardening.  I have been known to dig a hole or two in my time.  And even put plants in them!

[Fourstring]

Wow, first I've heard.  Glad that OMB is OK!  

You need anything, anything at all from us, you know where to find us.  You ain't that far away.







Psst- I hear Maggie actually likes gardening...

Edit- ...and can beat me to the punch.

[bomber]

Mags -- you and your entire genepool are welcome at any time, for any reason, but you already know that ;-}

[mxvet57]

Glad to hear that Brook and you are home now. It was kinda lonely siting around Saturday night with out Brooks personality and your Witt. We did however have ice cream in her Honor.

You two did miss a good Prime Rib dinner. Just that more for Ben.

I was 2 bikes behind Brook and didn't actually see it happen (i was to focused on the turn) but when i looked up i saw her laying there and was able to stop and block some of the road. The 2 EMT's were with her before i could get my helmet off.

I bet your pretty sore rite now. Have some ice cream (or have John get it for you) that will make you feel better.


BTW try using fuel oil to get the tar off. Minarial spirits will work to.

[ConPilot1]

I don't know who OMB is but if that's your SO I'm sorry to hear of all this and wish you all the best.  

[bomber]

Ed -- you did exactly the right stuff -- in addition, you kept me from wandering aimlessly into traffic (for which I thank you). Ice creram is the best way to think about OMB.

Connie -- OMB is a riff on my wife's name -- thanks for your kind wishes!

   John let us know when the entropy lab may be accepting visitors.

Ben -- any time, my friend -- OMB is feeling pretty good, specially within a couple of hours of her happy pills . . .  we're gonna be here ;-}

[Grnarrowe]

WHAT????!!!    

John, glad to hear Brooke is OK.

I think there should be an Ice Cream meet at the lab this Sunday. What do think??

Everybody bring Brooke a pint or 3.

[Scratch33]

Bummer - best wishes for her quick heal.

[stromgal]

If something bad had to happen, glad there were good friends and good care nearby. Now get to healin'!

[Cheddarhead]

+ 100%

Brooke:  Sorry to hear of the get-off!  Although painful , the soft tissue injuries will heal.


Can I bring you a bell with which you can summon John to attend your every need?  ...with some tasty Wisconsin frozen custard, of course!

Cheddar

[falconati]

Yikes - heal up soon!  Sorry to hear about the spill, I had one myself recently so I can relate.

Rest up, and see you soon!

[Oddball]

Great to hear your back home.  If you guys need anything I am just two spinning wheels away to help lending a hand.

[bomber]

I've been sharing the offers of assistance, good wishes, and promises of ice cream with OMB as they occur (it's always nice to get good news when yer blue, yes?).

The tough irish girl got all misty and stuff, and agrees that you guys are simply aces! Thanks for putting a smile on her face!

[coho]

Heal up quick and get back in the saddle, Mrs. Bomber.

Not sure she'll be up to a group that soon . . . . she'd do her best, and no one would notice she was workin hard, but, as the head Nurse at the Entropy Clinic, I'm gonna ask we put off something of that magnitude for a week . . . .

Please don't misinterpret this as anything but giving OMB a chance to get better so she can be the hostess she would wish, OK?

[Meemuh]

Ouch!  Like everybody else, glad it wasn't worse.  Best wishes for the Bombette.

Not a problem John.

Next week is AMA at Road America. Ears and I will be there Saturday and back home that night. So if OMB is up to it we can do the first annual OMB Ice Cream social at The Lab.

All is well and tell OMB to heal up.

Now THAT sounds like a plan -- she'll be feeling better by then, and will likely be entirely and thoroughly sick of seeing just me ;-}

[Stargzrgrl]

 

Ouch!  Wishing Brook a full and quick recovery!

I can make myself free this Saturday afternoon if Brook would like an ice cream delivery and/or help planting those flowers. 

[Mostrogirl]

OMG OMB! I'm such a goof I apologize for not reading this sooner? I hope she heals sooner than later. We can move the gathering to yor lab so she can have some good eats tomorrow.

I'd be happy to assist with flowers in a couple of weeks if you keep watering till then. I'm out of town this weekend and the next

Please give big hugs for me!

PS -- bigs hugs will have to wait a lil bit ;-}

[ray916mn]

Looking forward to seeing Brook on the road again!

[mxvet57]

John, it's not that hard.

[bomber]

LOL

Daughter Caitlin and Brook spent the day planting stuff (still lots left) .. .. . I moved heavy objects ;-}

[Hickey]

Oh, I missed this somehow.

Very glad things weren't too serious and recovery is ongoing. Best wishes to you both!

[mxvet57]

[sharkette]

OMG, Sorry to hear/read this.
Hope she feels better and gets better soon too.

[DrMikey]

Sorry I missed this when you first posted.  Wish I'd have known, as GL is just up the road from here.  Best wishes to Brook for a speedy recovery.

[bomber]

No worries, Doc -- your spirit was invoked!

[bomber]

We had visitors -- look who came by to help!

[stromgal]

Miles will live long enough to see the Mighty Oak become a teenager. Kudos!

Had a great time and Brooke is looking far, far more cheerful than I would have ever been.  Drop a line any time!

Where I have been that I totally missed all this?

Sorry to hear of the getoff, and best wishes to you and the missus for a speedy recovery!

All

OMB has  been working from home this week, and gimping around the joint, deathly afraid of sneezing ;-}

She has announced that, tomorrow, she's gonna drive to the grocery store, secure victuals for the coming week, and conduct herself, the vehicle, and said comestibles back to the Lab . . . .

She also has some simply astoundingly colored bruises . . .

This is a good sign, indicating forward progress.

Our deep and sincere thanks for all the expressions of concern and offers of assistance.

[Jeff]

She also has some simply astoundingly colored bruises . . .

 

[bomber]

 

Oh, yeah, that's JUST what I'm gonna do . . . .

I would be heartbroken at the number of you that wouldn't make my funeral!

;-}

Is that Fourstring and Jadz with their little guy?


BOMBER! You're skinnier than I had you pegged for. Pretty good shape for an old hippie!  

[bomber]

Yessir -- Miles is a hoot, no doubt about it, and has claimed OMB's heart from the git go.

It's true- he's smooth in way his dad never was.
