You look like S**T Tickler!!!

Yes, yes I know, the posts have been scarce around TTHQ. The format will resemble last years where I or some other worthy Tickler gives a weekend recap of a day in the life of a Tickler, that brings me to this post.

You see, I was well aware that on Monday this said blog needed a little tickling however the Tickler took a tumble on the bike this weekend. Fortunately I was able to walk away from the crash, unfortunately that walk was to the the stretcher and then to the ambulance and then to the ER. TT had to get a CT scan where I learned that I fractured the wing of my L2 and L3 vertebrae. I will be not bedridden but close to it for the next 6 weeks. I know you are all thinking, yes, more time for you to share the inner secrets of the TitleTickling Doctrine. This might happen but for the most part, I will be focusing on taking care of work while getting myself better. What happened was I was practicing for a downhill race at Beech Mountain and didn't quite clear a jump that I had in prior attempts. Catching my front wheel on lip of the lander I was catapulted in a somersalt motion and landed directly on my back. According to the Doctor, if it hadn't been for the TitleTickler being a physical specimen and also wearing a spine protector made by SixSixOne, I would have been in much worse shape. He informed me that I was very lucky to be in the good shape that I was and I assured him that I knew how lucky I am. So that's the story, don't ask for more details. The only thing the Tickler has to say is when you do crazy things, protect yourself with good gear. I have attached a picture of my back showing where the rivets in the back protector bruised me. I can only imagine what my back would look like if I hadn't been wearing that protector.




The good news is that I will be out only six weeks and won't be out many more games than old Justin Houston. I am hoping to be at the USC-UGA game on September 12th.

The Dawgs are looking great and I am very pleased with what I am hearing out on the practice field. Keep up the good work boys. I feel that last year I had good health and the Dawgs did not so this year I am flipping it around. Bad health for the Tickler and Good Health for the Dawgs!!!!!!!!

Most ferocious Dawg is an UnderDawg!!!!!!!

Thanks for the well wishes.
