all in the timing

 of course i didn't think to order a new helmet yesterday:

"If you’ve been thinking about buying a new helmet for yourself or for someone else you care about, now is the time. Make sure to get your order in before August 31st, because September 1st will be too late."

TOO LATE

Now I get a choice between the top of the line that is 2x as much money as the next lower priced one but in the blaze orange color (like the one I bounced off the rock in) or the cheaper one in a less desirable color, or a totally different brand.

Heck can't even EP a Lazer MTB helmet - no stock (retail there's a few but not many and I am kind of stuck on that blaze orange color). Giro doesn't have much stock, nor the right color.

What else is there? Smith? I dunno their helmets never quite fit as well and the color, again...

Guess who might be getting a [another] silly expensive helmet?

Doc did a bunch of O.M.M. on me this morning. They were pretty shocked at how wrecked I was and how functional I was an how little the impact did. Expected some puking or passing out or something with the extent of the whiplash damage and impaction. So bad was my physical state I need to go back for more work next week. Most of the shit is just going to take time to heal but I can take a deep breath today for the first time since the crash, so that's good. 

BP was a nice 120/70 after only drinking a pile of coffee this morning, oh right Doc said to drink water like a fish. Damnit. I need to get more water in me. Will work on that right after my next Covid test. 

Lots going on. Too much to say. or more just that trap of indecision as to where to start, so there's not start, a block.
