Back from the Burgh

The project that consumed most of my summer has (finally) come to a close and I should hopefully now have some time to get back to the trails.  Heading out to Mt. Diablo tomorrow for a warmup hike and then hopefully a few late season backpacking trips over the coming weeks.

Spent last weekend in Arizona visiting friends from my Intel days and watching the Steelers get their asses handed to them by the Cardinals.  Flew from AZ to PA on Monday for a solid week of sleeping in and generally de-stressing.  Caught the Roger Clyne concert at the Pittsburgh Hard Rock on Tuesday (good show, but not one of their best),  Visited the Grandmothers on Wednesday and Thursday, saw 3:10 to Yuma on Friday, Went to the Penguins Home Opener on Saturday and finished off the week with the Steelers shutout of the Seachickens on Sunday.  

Weather in Pittsburgh was in the 80's all week, which is more or less unheard of for Pittsburgh in October.

    Hello,

    I commented about your scar several weeks ago. I had the same surgery as you. I am curious, how is the swelling? I am struggling with the fact that I may never have a normal ankle again. Is yours somewhat normal? Do you have a large amount of swelling still? I would appreciate your response.

    Thanks so much!
    Amy
