October 20

This week was a pretty good one. It was pretty busy with work, going to cases, visiting Dr's offices, etc. Yesterday and today (Sat) Andy and I had a Region 7 Podiatry conference downtown that we attended. One of the companies we represent (BME=Bio medical Enterprise) had a booth and the Regional mngr, Jen came into town to set up a booth. They speicalize in a compression staple. I's basically a staple to you use in the foot when you have a Pt with a fracture or a joint you want to fuse. In short, you drill small holes in the bone, insert the staple and "zap" it with a bi=polar current with a small handle that has 2 probes and the staple legs compress wtogether thus putting pressure on the fracture so it can heal. Phew! So we went there to help her out. The display she brought and put up was nice. We talked to a lot of Dr's we already knew, and got a few more cases out of it. It was a good weekend. It is cool to see how many good relationships Andy has with alot of the Dr's in the state. We then went down one block and a big snowboard/ski store was having a big sale and a snowboard rail contest. It was cool to see a lot of the pros that you normally don't see in SLC. Here are a few photos and vidoes of the event. And I wanted to get a photo of the BME booth but forgot....
Photo 1- the whole set up they had in an alley way by the US outdoor store. 2-"The dingo and is partner ammouning the comp. 3-MFM 4-Travee will appreciate this one, a kid we know named Spencer was there, he had one good trick but a few not so good ones, can anyone say fashion show? Video- Magoon killing it. So smooth.

Whips

Ok so I was on my way home a few days ago from a town called Hermiston driving on I-84. Hermiston is about a 2 1/2 hr drive. I went there for a case with a Dr. On my way home these 3 fellas passed by. Two are Lamborhgini's and I think I saw the Maseratti Emblem on the white one, but I have never seen a car like it before. Looks pretty darn cool. Kind of like a F1 (Formula 1) race car.

This Week

I was able to go to a Motocross track on Saturday. It is called Mtn View MX. I was kind of contemplating whether or not to go seeing that saturday morning here at the house it was really foggy and a little on the chilly side. I decided to go and am sure glad I did, once I left the city limits it cleared up and was blue skies and warm temps doe the rest of the day. For sure the nicest day since my arrival here to porltand. Really fun track, great dirt and traction. A lot of elevation changes and scenic landscape with the track weaving in and out of the trees.

Preview of Halloween Costumes




Just 2 quick photos I took for a preview of Tayson and Benson's Halloween costumes. Tayson is a Caterpillar. Soooo cute, and Benson is an Octupus, although I think he may be a little too big so we made need to switch his with another. I have never seen an Octopus with red socks before.....

Saturday Indoor Motocross Sesh.



Well today I really wanted to ride a track up here. The weather has been pretty cold for this time of year, the high has been around 55-60. The outdoor track that is apparently really close to the house was closed today due to the weather, so I was debating whether or not I should make the trek all the way across town to the indoor track named HindsightMX, check there website here http://www.hindsightmx.com/service.htm It is 35 bucks to register for the year and you get your first ride for free. The most I have paid to practice has been $20 in mesquite. So 35 is a lot just to practice! But I had nothing else going on so I figured what the heck. I didn't really know what to expect it being an indoor track, I was thinking it would be REALLY tight and slow but I am really glad I went. I had a great time, I rode in 2nd gear the whole track and actually felt really good on my bike for not riding for a few weeks. I ended up taking everything on the track my third moto. It is a really fun track, a few good size jumps and the dirt and traction was awesome!


Here are two photos of the entire track, and a video of it as well.

Poat-lund





a few photos and videos of my first week here in Portland. I picked a not so great time to move up seeing that it's the begining of the "rainy season". It has rained every day since I came up here. But it's realy pretty. I passed by the temple today and it is such a beautiful place, the building, landscape, full grown trees. It's an awesome place. Plus when is rains down here that menas it is snowing up there. Check this out from Sept 29th. http://www.koin.com/global/video/popup/pop_player.asp?ClipID1=1793288&h1=Fall%27s%20First%20Snow&vt1=v&at1=News&d1=139133&LaunchPageAdTag=Video Player&activePane=info&playerVersion=1&hostPageUrl=http%3A//www.koin.com/Global/category.asp%3FC%3D84493%26nav%3Dmenu494_9&rnd=37872588
