after 5 weeks on crutches I have gotten good at moving around with precarious holds on everyday items, but i had a stroke of genius, and modified a couple utility pouches off LBE I had laying around and rigged up "Crutch Pockets.
Each one has a large capacity for cordless phone, cans or travel cups, etc and they have small pockets on the front that may be handy.
Next up is the crutch mount "vice-grip plate holder" I am thinkin on
I know its trivial but bear with me here, house bound is not fun
PS Buzz and Jay: both colors to suit Marines and Rangers

 

[Spanky]

Want me to send you Clifford and Bill.

 

[Minnreefer]

you can mass produce those and make a fortune

Looks like a plan

 

[cath]

Ahhh...the dressed out crutch-walker

Looks good to me, Doug.....lemme call Amazon so that you can get it on their site.

 

[SouthernReefer]

where's the beer holder? :lol:

 

[Alice]

Beer holder is a good idea 'cuz the guy on crutches probably got that way saying "Yeeehaaaw, y'all hold my beer and watch this!"

 

[Stoney Reef]

ya sure they did not try and give ya a lobotomy instead of knee surgery?

Anyhow, I know the feeling, I was on crutches for 6 months when I was around 10 yrs old, a lawn mower and I got in a fight, and the lawnmower won!

 

[thefatman]

GREAT idea doug!!!!

good to see you were thinking of both buzz and i, during the design phase

 

[Stoney Reef]

Jay what in the Blue H are you doing up at this time! Especially when your one of those 'normal' people who work 'normal' hours!

 

[thefatman]

it's the weekend

i've been researching some big tank threads here and at rc..

and been browsing accessory sites for skimmers, ca reators, overflows etc....

yup, i was at stoney reef too

 

[Stoney Reef]

LOL! If you want something from the stoneyreef, wait until buzz gets his lil present! Then ask him how he likes it!

 

[thefatman]

cool, will do! btw: when you gonna post pics of your skimmers? all that's on there now is the kalk reactor

sorry to hijack your thread doug... stoney started it

 

[Stoney Reef]

I had venturi skimmers and such on there, but I took them down because I was supposed to be taking the summer off, and just do miscellaneous orders and such, and not really CHASE the business! Well that worked out about as well as a fart in a funeral! Anyhow, once prime reefing season starts up, and Buzz gets the website done, i should have quite a few toys on there!


None near as awesome as doug's current invention! Dang I could have used those!

 

[cath]

Hehehehe! yeh, no doubt Alice.

Hmmm...mebbe that's the section Doug said holds "cans or travel cups"??

 

[galleon]

Doug, where were you two years ago when I messed up my knee????

 

[Doug1]

gotta have one beverage on each side, just for balance
Sorry Chris I wasn't inpired then, if you werent cross country I would let you rummage through my "toy box"

 

[FishDaddy]

Next up is the crutch mount "vice-grip plate holder" I am thinkin on

Better take it easy on the 'thinkin', Doug; too much of that can ruin a man's capacity to sleep!

Given your area of professional expertise, I can see many useful inventions coming in the next few weeks as you contemplate improvements to the standard crutch.

Glad to see the humor is still in you!

[Doug1]

can't wait to get back to work, and have use of a power chair, I been thinking 20" rims and those 1" thin tires that the kids love on their rice rockets
NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[jas]

you are boared........................but i like it. if im ever on crutches ill call you and have you send me some to try out, but only if you get that beverage holder figured out.

 

[Doug1]

Oh trust me i have the beverage holder down pat. Its moving those awkward plates of food that are a challenge
