Hey all,

Thanks for checking in and leaving notes. I'm fine, a little uglier now, but fine. The staples need to stay in for 10 days or so, and Rita said she'll take them out for me the next time she comes home. I also promised her I would take the "teepee" exhaust off the rail and replace it with a lower, bobcat style. Wicked bummer aye? I was looking forward to a nice night of hill climbing and night riding with some other rail drivers, but spent the evening getting stapled in the ER. Oh well. For those who asked, "rail" is short for "sandrail." A sandrail is a light, rear engine car, designed to run hard and fast in deep sand or other difficult terrain. As for my cut, I got it by banging my head on the "stinger", or very end of my exhaust. I've posted a pic of my rail and the #^%#@*&^ exhaust that cut me below.
