Well its the last day for rodeo tomorrow! I hate to see it go by so fast but the Sunday finals are definitely the best. The big money is given away on stage and I am so excited to have the chance to compete at it. I doesn’t come along very often that we have the chance make a run at this kind of money and it is awesome.

My knee is feeling better every day, I had an MRI this mourning and got the results read at the rodeo by the sports medicine trainers and doctors on hand. I guess it is a lateral meniscus tear and bone bruise on the end of my femur. obviously that’s not 100 percent conclusive but they are pretty sure that is the gist of it. I have lost a lot of the swelling and gained a lot of flexibility over the past three days , which is great. I taped it today to get an idea of how its going to feel, and i am very confident in riding with it.

Like i said earlier I’m not looking forward to leaving tomorrow. We have enjoyed all the hospitality of this town and the rodeo committee. We have had a room over here at the Coast Plaza Hotel and they have been great. We tried all last week to get a room in town here and they were either so high or they didn’t have any availability, The Coast Plaza was great and the rooms were reasonable and very nice, if you need a place to stay i recommend them.  

I am already looking forward to next year and I hope to be back, until then its back to the grindstone of rodeo. Thanks for letting me be a part of it.
