I went to lunch with several of the guys at my last job and the subject of hand pain came up. I was surprised at how most of us had it in common, even the younger guys. A few of us also had the swelling/lumpy area around the joints behind the nail bed.
Mine have improved since retiring but I still get some hand pain.

Anyway, he showed me the x-ray and said I had remarkably little arthritis in my hand/fingers for a 70 year old.
Still don't know how I got tendonitis in my wrist/hand unless it was running a mouse in PC video games.

Edit: Changed battery this morning and the battery cover shows marks so I've obviously changed the battery before. Oh, well, better safe than sorry.

Feeling a little better today. The steroid really messed me up yesterday.
I hope the worst is over. Had to call out for my trip tomorrow unfortunately.
Plugged my xbox in yesterday for the first time in 4 years. Took 8 hours to update everything. Started Borderlands the pre sequel but lost interest really fast. Don’t know how I used to spend hours playing these games.

I wonder how much fitness I have lost these days. I havnt registered for the Crit May 1st, I am wondering if I should skip that one. I don’t really want to but I think I will be weaker than the last race opposed to stronger.

It appears he was hit by a train while cycling in his hometown of Montclair, New Jersey. The 57 year old media critic and journalist, did not survive.

Have you ever heard of a cyclist being killed by a train?

Seems plausible if someone was trying to do so and crashed. Hard to imagine it simply being a misjudgement of timing when you'll clear the tracks. Are you really going to cut it that close?

There was a pic recently on Twitter of Fausto Coppi going under a closed rail crossing arm at what appears to be at speed. Incredible pic of some incredible riding skill. I wish I could find it.

During the days of beating the train equaled a breakaway that would likely stick?
