Morning All!

Mail stacked up for a couple days, opened it all, then went to ebay to leave feedback for what had arrived. One bubble mailer had two Jay Bruce cars in it, a 2015 A&G 10th Anniversary stamped buyback framed mini of a 2011 mini and a card from something I havent seen. It's a Jay Bruce card from Platinum Series Baseball strategy game. I had to look it up, they have a facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/PlatinumSeriesBaseball).
As I sifted through my ebay account looking for whom sent these to me, couldnt see where I had bought them. Then the light bulb turned on! About a week or so ago, FCB's very own @Hawk8 (Dustin - resident Andre Dawson Fan) asked me for my address. He sent these two cards to me. What a great guy and what a great member of FCB. I needed both cards for my PC and now they both have a permanent home!

Thanks again @Hawk8 !

Glad they arrived safe! This is the first year for the Platinum Baseball Series Strategy Game and its release date was at the National or at least that is what I was told by the guy at the National that was selling them at either Blowouts table or maybe it was Dave and Adams table

Good morning all. Class was cancelled this morning. About a third of the class was going to be gone so she decided it was just easier to cancel it

Good morning.. as some of you know, my vacation turned into sick leave..

Drove up to Reno to visit some of my wife's relatives and had a fantastic time.. Instead of driving the 395 home again, we thought a "trip" to San Francisco would be nice..

We made reservations at the Holiday Inn near the Warf and got there about 3pm.. We checked in and decided to go out and see the sights..

First stop, the Trolley.. Got our tickets, and while we were waiting, my wife decided to go over to see the street vendors.. I waited in line and she left.. About 15 minutes later, she came back and told me to go look at a painting she wanted and she would stay in line.. I walk over to where the painting is and talk with the artist.. I looked over at my wife, and see the line is moving.. I decided to go back.. as I turned left into the walkway, the sloped path made out of asphalt had a raised edge at which point my left foot hit it.. I tried to catch myself, but ended up taking a hard fall.. I got up, looked around and picked up my glasses and hat that had flown when my chin hit the pavement.. I get back to my wife, and tell her what happened and my arms were still hurting, my palms had some scrapes, but I expected the pain to go away..

We got on the Trolley and my wife asked me how I felt.. I said other than my arms hurting, I felt good.. but I couldn't hold the bottles of water we had.. She then talked with the conductor of the trolley to find out where the nearest medical place was, and we decided it was best for me to go get checked out..

fast forward.. I spent Saturday night in the ER..

When I got home, I went to an orthopedic specialist and he said I have a cracked Ulna on my left arm and a hairline crack on my right elbow.. I still can't rotate my palms up..

The little things that we take for granted, like opening a pill bottle, I can't do.. (damn child proof lids)

Hope everyone has a great day..

Man feel for you. I broke my right elbow in a motor cycle accident. Trying to do all the normal day to day with my left hand, wasn't always pretty. Hang in there, get well.

Sorry to hear Kevin [MENTION=1802]Pinbreaker[/MENTION]. I'm thankful the only times I've ever broken anything, it was just fingers or a toe. Granted, when I broke my thumb I was in a cast up to my elbow for it, and then when I broke my big toe I was in a walking boot. But nowhere near as bad as what happened to you. Hopefully the recovery goes really well for you!
