I am going insane :eek:
that does it I give up, I quit, I can’t take it anymore going to get out my frozen mug and put in an ice cold beer go outside only where I can roll this scooter and enjoy nature. Watch the deer and the rabbits and all other creatures. I know , I know it could be a heck of a lot worse 
. I’m use to physical activity and being on my caboose for 4 weeks is driving me into the funny farm. I don’t need a prescription for Bud Light 
in fact it’s still over the counter 
Good thing there is Monday Night Football.

I have sometime to browse the online bike supply businesses and have come up a lot of upgrades I really don’t need.

I'm afraid I'll be in your position very soon. I will be having a cervical surgery to replace a herniated disc. I am a terrible person to be around when I can't ride or be active. Stopped riding a few weeks ago because it was just too uncomfortable. My wife was yelling at me last night as I was splitting and stacking firewood. I don't think she understands how much needs to be done before I am laid up. Thank goodness I can peruse cycling sites (I'm sure there's stuff I don't need out there too) and Craigslist.

A Bud Light isn't a beer. It's a BSO--beer shaped object. See what I did there?

I scrambled to do last minute chores etc etc . I was riding up until it was no fun because my foot hurt too much so I concluded just get it over with. Spinal injury is serious I hope you recover well and don’t go insane from boredom.

I'll be searching for the old saddles, no longer made that I love to ride and And, some of the old vintage parts I like.
Of course, every time I walk into my shop I will longingly look at the wall wishing I could take one down to enjoy. At least I left one on the indoor trainer for the time when clearance comes and I can use it.

Um, that is cool. A fat bike is something I don't have yet. Hmmm. If it wasn't for the engine rebuild happening right now on another vintage vehicle I could be tempted.
