Know that feeling !
I just got back from a 2 week Kodiak Bear hunt - hiked 120 to 140 miles, none of it flat either. My knees are still bitching.

The thing I've noticed the most is old injuries hurting when the weather changes a great deal, as in cooler or moister, or if I put in a lot of physical effort doing something. Those broken bones and dislocated joints and crushed cartridge and torn rotator cuff, etc. eventually begin to haunt you. I've been checked and it's not arthritis, but it is like the nerve endings in the damaged areas flair up easily and tell you that riding motocross and playing football and doing purely stupid things when younger wasn't really as much fun as you thought it was at the time.

You have a very vivid imagination there, Dribble Piss. I can in all honesty say that I never got my ass kicked. I won't say I always walked away unscathed, but I was never on the losing end.

My injuries came from motocross, football, skiing, I tore my rotator cuff learning to turn around on a slalom trick ski and one car accident where someone ran a stop sign and I T-boned them right in the middle of the drivers side, and of course it was before I wore seat belts/shoulder harnesses, and that one didn't help things much either.

But I'm sure the only injuries you've ever suffered were skinning your knee while playing hopscotch or burning your fingers on your Easy Bake Oven.

I'm sure your dad wanted a boy and your mother wanted a girl and they were both satisfied.

that is understandable... my dad is the toughest sob you ever meet and he is getting there...

no broken bones for me, but plenty of knee hyperextensions, jammed fingers, dislocated fingers, fell off a ladder when i was 13 and fell right on my ribs, nothing broke, at least thats what i think...

and i was just putting a name to the description he gave about the symptoms
