Business hours during broken bone time

OK..latest update... we finally have an appointment at the TOSH center in Murray on Monday for a consult with a surgeon there that will hopefully lead to a surgery on Tuesday...in the meantime, we will pretty much be closed for business. We will try to answer emails and at least ship parts, but the shop itself will be closed. We will keep posting and let you all know when we will be open again. Once the surgery happens, Cat should be at the shop the next day and ready for business! Thanks for your patience!

Broken Bone Update


A little update on what's going on with Sean's broken arm:

We still don't have a definite date for surgery but we hope to have a date set tomorrow and get Sean fixed up and back to work as soon as possible. We will update when we have a date for the new hardware to go in!

We have sincerely appreciated the well wishes and offers of help from our family and friends. We have had dinners brought to us, fellow mechanics and machinists who are planning on coming to the shop to help finish up some projects that need to get to customers, and offers of financial help. It is really touching that in this difficult time for us so many of you have reached out to us. We are truly blessed. This has been especially moving to Sean who is fiercely independent and can hardly even ask me to open a freaking package of chocolates for him cause he thinks he can just do it himself with one hand (which is actually kind of funny to watch)!

Against Sean's sense of independence and pride, I have opened both a Paypal account and a bank account at Mountain America Credit Union for those of you who have expressed your desire to help financially with this surgery. If you feel compelled to donate, the Paypal account is under my email at "cathymjordan@yahoo.com". To donate through the MACU account, you can go to any branch or call 1-800-748-4302 (press 0 for a live person) and ask to deposit to the donation account "Sean Jordan Surgery Fund". If you specifically say "donation account" they should waive the fee for the deposit. Again, we appreciate all your prayers and well wishes and hopefully Sean will be back at what he does best as soon as possible!

Thanks,
Cat

Patient, Patience, Pain

FYI customers and friends...Sean broke an already pretty messed up arm on Sunday. We are trying to find an Orthopedic Surgeon to perform the surgery to remove the old plate and put a new one in to fix the break in the Ulna. Unfortunately, because we are self employed, hard working American citizens without ultra expensive insurance, we are running out of options. A lot of the surgeons we've talked to require "self-pay" patients to pay 1/2 down in order to get the surgery performed (that is about $9,000). If you don't have the $9,000....too bad and hope the arm doesn't fall off! We might have found a surgeon that will do the surgery and bill us later, but we are still waiting to hear.

Cat will be in and out of the shop trying to get product shipped for orders and we will be calling customers who have bikes in the shop and let you know time frames on when they will be done. Please be patient with us during this unfortunate time. Thanks!

Good day turned bad

Great weekend snowboarding with the family. Then I hit a tree with my bad elbow. The tree won.
We will be closed thru the week and back to normal on Monday.

Camp Insensitive


 

Rouser sets up cam for a few months in Vail, CO to ride some single tracks. Being a big fan of single tracks I loaded up my dirt bike and left after work on a Friday to go check it out. Arriving late Friday night and driving for like 15 miles up the side of a mountain in the pitch black I found camp Rouser. Next morning we had a killer ride, little bushwackin and some good eats. Packed up and blasted home Sunday. Looking forward to this year.

Old news

BF3 was a crazy 4 day blitz. Hooked with Bolts and co. On the first day, lots o break downs, late night river dump at camp1, hotter than hell ride thru Barstow, camp at the truck stop, and the much needed jump in the lake before the last 300 mile push. Good times.

Blog Refire










Last year kicked ass. Ton of trips, ton of miles, and new friends. I stopped posting right when it started. I decided to crack this blog back open and start anew. I don't do new years resolutions but I am going to try to be on the blog post. I figured it fitting to start where the last post ended.
