Yup, I said it. 
Except I mean it in the sense that I'm injured. Blew out my right knee yesterday rough housing with my 115 lb German Shepard. I was stepping one way, Max got in the way, stepped on his paw, tried to keep from injuring him, he jumped into my leg as I stepped down off the porch step..... watched my leg bend nearly 45 degrees in and backwards..... snap, crackle, pop.... several expletives...done deal.
ER Doc says I probably have a torn ACL and/or Maniscus. I'll be seeing the specialist tomorrow and hopefully get the scan so I know if I'm looking at surgery or just some down time.
While this setback will surely provide me with lots of time to work on getting sponsorship for CO Fest... there's a good possibility I won't be 'wheeling at the event. If I end up with surgery, I won't be able to get my rig fixed anytime soon since I gotta heal and my friggin surgical co-pay is a grand, which kills my vacation budget. I wrecked both knees a few years ago during a fall while on the job..... dunno if Workman's Comp will help out. Hopefully I can still attend and occupy a bitch-seat if all that happens.
On top of all that, I worked for months to convince my supervisors to allow me to participate in the "Race-A-Cop" program and race our new Charger cop car at Bandimere..... which I was supposed to start doing TODAY at the Test and Tune night. Dammit!
Guess I shoulda asked for Percoset..... Vicodin ain't doin' a damn thing except making me sleepy.

Gotta hate injuries. Get better soon!
