Weston and Jadon's surprise visit

This afternoon, Weston Joyce and Jadon Neuendorf came by for a post-op visit. I've been trying to blame them for this accident to most everyone who's heard the story. Someone besides me needs to be reasonable for this disaster. The reasoning goes like this: Weston and Jadon are too much fun and are too good of athletes to do the normal scouting stuff. They snowboard like Shawn White so I decided to take the "reckin' crew" up to Big Bear and show them how to really rip the snow. How often do you end up having scouts that are so good at everything, especially skiing. This was a chance of a lifetime.

During the incredible ski day these two boys were ripping up the mountain from top to bottom so I HAD to take it up a notch. If the boys had been terrible snowboarders I would have never been placed in this situation because I would have been on the bunny hill all day and been 100% safe. So to make a long story short, I ended up reckin' my knee on a jump at the base of lift 4 at Big Bear. I obviously am not at fault and I put all the blame onto Weston and Jadon, who just need to be lame greenie snowboarders and all this nonsense could have been avoided.

The boys came by to see me with gifts in hands. They knew I'd be laid up for a while so they gave me the gift of speed, Forza Motorsport 3. If I can't go fast and have fun in reality I'll be able to virtually do it on my XBox 360. They also gave me a Jamba Juice that was devoured rather quickly. Great gift and I'm obviously going to be playing this game a lot in the next month.

Seriously, it was a very nice thing to do. I am not too manly to say that I love these boys and I see so much potential in them it's scary. You'll be reading great things about these two... and I'm not just saying this because I got a great XBox game. Michele commented on how incredibly mature and respectful these two boys are. I hope Andrew can be as cool yet mature as the reckin' crew. Hopefully from here on out the only reckin' will be the waves and the snow. No more knees please...

The toughest part of the visit was when Weston and Jadon proceeded to update me on how great the surfing is this week. I miss surfing so much right now as the weather gets warmer. They went early morning and after school today. The waves were huge and the water was warmer. These two are not only great snowboarders but competition surfers. Competition surfers people. They are REALLY good. They must have learned it from their fathers who are great surfers too. When I get healthy again the first item on the scout agenda is to have another surf overnighter. Oh yea!!!
