Mofro is going under the knife Wed. Believe it or not he broke his ACL in Dec. and continued to kick butt all winter. He's almost as good as Kevin Andrews even with out the ACL.
See you next season, good luck rehabbing

Good luck Mo.
i was gonna start this on surgery day... god damn doo gooder mindoc!
good luck on the chopping block G. i look forward to skiing with you on a solid knee. at the same time i fear that i won't be able to keep up once you are at full potential.
p.s. can my cats have your knee scraps?![]()

good luck with the surgery, and thanks for the tour on saturday. following you through the alpy bc, wouldn't have known your knee was missing anything.
Our great works of human enterprise will fade away with time. The mountain will endure. ~nps
skiing with you and the family is always a highlight of my year, thanks for riding it out until season's end!!!
next year... same bat time, same bat channel!
I, for one, am dissapointed about the surgery. With one ACL, Mofro was only 35 times faster than me. I can only assume that he'll come through with flying colors and be back to skiing 400 times faster than me. I am now 11.43 times less likely to be able to keep up with the Grand Poobah of Alpental....and oh yeah, he's on fat skis now; which is like giving Barry Bonds an aluminum bat.

Best of luck G. Tell the doc to put a few extra stitches in there so it will stay together this time. No sense going through another season shattering the egos of your ski buddies as you "rip the shit out of this" on one and a half legs.
Guess that fluid trainer is in for some major abuse when you get back from the operating table. Poor little bike trainer, it's not even a fair fight.

Good luck Mofro! You'll do fine its a piece of cake and you'll be good as new.![]()
Good Luck dude! See you on the other side of the knife!
"You look like you just got schnitzled..."
If I'm not mistaken, you blew it the day I arrived at Crystal.
Good luck buddy, you've got plenty of torn ACL partygoers on this board.![]()
Atleast when your on the painkillers you'll be able to fully understand buster's posts.
Godspeed on the surgery and rehab.
Good luck!! Had fun skiing some new terrain (at least for me) with you on sunday.
eating and sleeping is serious business
Be forewarned! Just one run with the evil one will leave its mark forever.
Thanks for the vibes.
So glad I listened to some of the advice (esp Huckwheat) on this board and braced the knee and kept going. I ended up with a lot of quality days and nights skiing after thinking the season was over. Big thanks to all of you who were patient enough to ski with me. I should be back in action by next Dec.
It kind of sank in today at the doc when he was describing what was going to happen tomorrow. Phrases like "drill pilot hole" and "hopefully we won't hit existing hardware" were thrown around and I'm thinking holee shit this really is a major remodel. I go in at 6am and get to come home by 9 though, cpm already here. Then I heart meds.
Move upside and let the man go through...
Hope everything went well, Mofro. You had a superhero season considering other people would have called it "over." I have a feeling rehab & next year will be more of the same. In the meantime, I'm sure the TGR sommelier Buster will be happy to dispense wine & med pairing advice.
I can't understand why people are frightened of new ideas. I'm frightened of the old ones.
How are you?
