Someone posted something on the other thread made me upset a bit, to make thing worse... he is a local... oh well...

The most funny thing is he says we don't care about our Z cos part of the cruise route is on dirt-road... but on the other hand... he told us he goes to touchless car wash.... :icon14:

He goes to touchless-sheet-metal-destroyer to scretch his Z... and he says us the hand-wash-Z people are failure... :icon14: :eek:

Men.... that hurts... :wtf2:

G'mornin everyone! Today is going to suck for me. I went to a Z brothers house an hour and 10 minutes away to have a Resident Evil marathon to refresh ourselves so that we would be ready when the new one comes out. We finally got done at around 1:30am, then I headed home and tried (successfully) to not fall asleep at the wheel. Went to sleep at 3am, got up for work at 7am this morning. FML.

On a side note, I love the winter time here in Florida because it's never actually winter, just a brisk fall. I love being able to bust out all my coats and jackets for a month, and The Mistress loves the cold weather, she's always a bit peppier :tup:

I might take the zed out tonight, floppy undertray an all

bbigby64 09-14-2012 11:04 AM

I left the Z home today, and it will remain home for a while. I injured my lower back while playing tennis on Wednesday. I abruptly changed directions in order to hit a ball that my opponent hit behind me and tweaked my back. My back injury hurts when I get in and out of the Z so it's the van for me for the foreseeable future. Hopefully, I'll be back on the court and in my Z in a week.

With that said, my opponent and I split sets, but we decided that the time was too late to play a 3rd ... 10:10 pm. Both of us were approaching our bed times. After being up 5-2 in the first set, I lost it 7-5. However, I got up 5-2 again in the second set, and was able to close it out 6-2. It's been a long time since I was up 5-2 in a set, and lost it. I wasn't pleased. :shakes head: In the second set, I said to myself, "Not this time!" :mad:

Hey Mr.bbigby64, hope your lower back will recover soon, you might want to have some massage done and rest it for the week... :tiphat:

Must be a tough lost on the first set with giving away the last 5 games in a row... but seems you pick up your game quickly on the 2nd and finished it 6-2.. less than 35 mins I guess... ;)

I hope I can go back to the court in about 2 to 3 weeks... have not been able to play for almost 10 weeks now.... my shoulder still hurts and feel tight...

Yeah, I'm gonna chill for a while, and rest it. As for the duration of the second set, it was faster than the first, but not 35 minutes. :)

Actually, pressure hurts so I'm not sure that I would prefer a massage.

It's a good thing that I finished my 3.5-Level Club Championship Tournament BEFORE this injury. That would have been a bummer to not be able to finish. I reached the championship and WON! :happydance:

However, my win may mean that I have to move up to 4.0. My club manager said that I was winning too easily. I received a bye in the first round. Then, I won my second round match by a score of 6-1, 6-0. I won my third round match by a score of 6-3, 6-1. I won my 4th round match by a score of 6-2, 6-2. Finally, I won my Finals match by a score of 6-1, 6-3.

Actually, my toughest match was the 4th round semi-final match. Although I appeared to have won easily ... 6-2, 6-2 ... that was a real battle. It took about 2-1/2 hours to complete. I was up a set and 5-1, and I put sports cream on my thighs because I felt cramps coming on. That was a BIG mistake. While walking to the baseline, my thighs began to lock up! I'm like, :wtf: The cream is supposed to HELP ... NOT HURT!!! I could barely walk! :eek: Fortunately, my opponent graciously gave me some time to stretch and recover ... about 3 to 5 minutes.

However, I resumed play, knowing that my legs were not fully functional. I was hobbling around the court. It was pathetic. :shakes head: Despite that, I took him to several deuces on his serve. I desperately wanted to finish the match before I would have to default or go to a 3rd set, GOD FORBID! I had a couple of match points, but couldn't finish him off. :shakes head: However, during the game, I thought that even if I lost it, I would have time to sit for a while on the change-over to rub my thighs.

During the next game, I was serving for the match, and my legs felt better ... good enough to move around the court a bit. However, I knew that if I over did the running, they might lock up again. I tried to conserve my movements, and hit strong efficient shots that would put my opponent on the defensive; I couldn't afford to play long drawn out points. Fortunately, I was able to close the game out and the match. That was a really close call!

My Finals match was downright easy in comparison -- no cramping there. I was also careful to come even better prepared next time in terms of what I ate before the match, and what I drank and ate during the match so that I could support my muscle function. I found myself up a set and 3-0 thinking that this is going to be over quickly. The next thing that I knew, the score was 4-3! :eek: I said to myself, it's time to finish this! I closed the set out, and the match, by a score of 6-1, 6-3.

Anyway, I'm glad that I didn't get this kind of injury during the tournament. :tup:

Hey, take your time with getting back on the court. I recall that I put my tennis racquet down for 8 months because of a wrist injury! :eek: Contact with the ball sent an excruciating pain through my wrist. I couldn't bear it. I received therapy and everything. After returning to tennis, I wore wrist support for a while ... about a year. Then, I forgot it one day and was playing without it, and realized in the middle of the match that I didn't have it on. I said to myself, "I guess that I don't need it!" That's when I stopped wearing it. However, I try to stretch and work my wrist before and during play to avoid injury.

Yep! I enjoyed it, it was me, Matt, Angie, and Nismo joe. We all discussed zombie apocalypse strategies, and came to the agreement that we need to stock up on good quality katanas. We're working on a contingency plan for when it all goes down. Then I showed them my homemade death ray laser and we terrified some ducks outside. All in all a good night :)

I desperately wanted to finish the match before I would have to default or go to a 3rd set, GOD FORBID! I had a couple of match points, but couldn't finish him off. :shakes head: However, during the game, I thought that even if I lost it, I would have time to sit for a while on the change-over to rub my thighs.

During the next game, I was serving for the match, and my legs felt better ... good enough to move around the court a bit. However, I knew that if I over did the running, they might lock up again. I tried to conserve my movements, and hit strong efficient shots that would put my opponent on the defensive; I couldn't afford to play long drawn out points. Fortunately, I was able to close the game out and the match. That was a really close call!

My Finals match was downright easy in comparison -- no cramping there. I was also careful to come even better prepared next time in terms of what I ate before the match, and what I drank and ate during the match so that I could support my muscle function. I found myself up a set and 3-0 thinking that this is going to be over quickly. The next thing that I knew, the score was 4-3! :eek: I said to myself, it's time to finish this! I closed the set out, and the match, by a score of 6-1, 6-3.

Anyway, I'm glad that I didn't get this kind of injury during the tournament. :tup:

Hey, take your time with getting back on the court. I recall that I put my tennis racquet down for 8 months because of a wrist injury! :eek: Contact with the ball sent an excruciating pain through my wrist. I couldn't bear it. I received therapy and everything. After returning to tennis, I wore wrist support for a while ... about a year. Then, I forgot it one day and was playing without it, and realized in the middle of the match that I didn't have it on. I said to myself, "I guess that I don't need it!" That's when I stopped wearing it. However, I try to stretch and work my wrist before and during play to avoid injury.

Sounds like you are ready for the 4.0 next season, cos the score you have in the 3.5 tourny shows you are quite a bit higher level than the others... :tup:

If you are playing the 4.0 next season, yup, the whole story will be different especially tactics while and how 4.0 keep the ball in play and have the point setup.

I don't know about the effectiveness of your 2nd serve but it will be as important as a life saver, make sure it has a good kick and placement.

Funny thing is sometimes the more you want to finish the point/game, the harder you find it is, all about mental, LOL.

My shoulder problem has been an ongoing thing for years but it was ok until the passed Winter season when I play seriously and wanted to prepare the Summer season, I didn't have enough rest in between and the flat serve was just too much load to the shoulder....

Worst time I can't make a forehand backswing, don't even think about hitting a ball.... :ugh2:

Winter season is coming up so I will have to have myself ready by Oct... trying.... :eekdance:
