in Off Topic
so my wife decided it would be fun to get me a monthly subscription to the bbq box.  I guess they send you a rub, a recipe card, a sauce and some wood each month.  Any one on here have it, or know anything about it?

    Never heard of it till now.  Checked out the website and looks pretty cool.

    Be sure to share pics when you get it.  I am intrigued.

    @ryantt - learn something new dang near every day here.  Looks like a good way to get out of a rut in the Q world.  Definitely a creative gift. 
    Since I'm here, how's your recovery coming along??  Hopefully you are making solid progress.  No doubt Norah Grace is taking great care of you (as is the wife).  Anyhow, best of luck with all this and do give us a monthly run-down of the goodies you get to play with.

    @lousubcap I’ve been in a rehab facility for about 10days or so.  Have made good progress and will be able to go home with a walker and some assistance.  I am proud to report today I was able to walk almost 200feet.  So I’d say I’m coming along very nicely.  

    Once home i will have home PT 4 days per week for about 90min per session.  This will be a welcome relief to my 7 day a week 3hrs per day I’m currently doing.   

    Great progress has been made and my girls are taking good care of me along with the staff here at the facility.  I laugh because I’m the youngest patient her by 40 or so years.  I can honestly say I’ve had wonderful care and have complimented the staff to my mentor who is the CEO of the health foundation.  

    Thanks for checking in on me

    @g8golfer I originally herniated a L5-S1 at a BJJ tournament.  After that it happened again and I was fused in October of 18 I slipped getting out of my car and wrecked my hardware and ruptured a L4-L5 so the did what they could to repair.  Shortly after surgery I came home and managed to blow L5-S1 and L4-L5. Had a very invasive surgery on Feb 1st and have been in the hospital and or rehab.  Hope is to go home on Feb 20th.  I was in the hospital starting Jan 28th because of falling down the steps head over heals.  

    So thats the story

    @ryantt - thanks for the update.  I know you have a way to go, but it sounds like the hardest part is behind you. 

    I’m betting Norah Grace will have a lot of fun with ‘your’ new BBQ present  :):)

    Looking forward to posts of the BBQ box contents.

    BJJ eh?  I had my leg broken and my hand broken ten years apart in Kenpo class. No broken vertebrae though even though there were some rough falls. Nothing like winning a match with a finger lock.

    Yes in my younger days I Thai boxing and BJJ.  I had the good fortune of training with Brian Rogers, Stipe Miocic, Jason Dent and even once got to spar with Eric Esch.  He dang near killed me on Christmas Eve.   He and I were just messing around as he trained for a fight over in Japan, and apparently he didn’t like taking leg kicks.  Had a great time when I was younger, it was the next natural progression considering I started wrestling at age 4 in the clinics.

    I’m sure a lot of my life choices have led to some of my issues but I have zero regrets.

    As I told the instructor when my leg got broken “You play Big Boy games and sometimes you pay Big Boy prices”.
