That had happened in February 2004. There was a period of time between when I quit my job at Microsoft and the day my lease expired at my apartment in Redmond.
I went out for a regular bicycle exercise training for Ironman and the bicycle pedal, slick from rain, on my silver titanium Litespeed bicycle slipped out from under my cycling shoe cleat and instead of clipping onto my shoe the sharp edge of the clip made a long wide gash up the front of my lower leg. By the time I got back to my apartment after the 50 mile ride my sock was bloody from the blood dripping down to my foot. The scrape was visible for a long time. I can still now this day see the scar on my shin from that day in early February 2004.
I still now to this day remember that time as the last time I felt happy.

Gambia is about 3000 miles from where I think I was at that time. It could have been like that guy who seemed to be examining the wound on my leg from my bicycle pedal. I rode my bicycle to CDA beach from Spokane Valley and a guy with a woman asked me to take their picture. I remember thinking I left my fingerprint on his camera and also that he seemed to be looking to see if my wound was infected.
from the private journal of Kerry Burgess: year 2006
There's a big scar on my right shin, but I remember that happening in those days after I quit Microsoft and the pedal on my bicycle flipped up and tore a huge gash in the flesh.

I just realized it must have been March 3rd when I moved into that Crosslands hotel out in Spokane Valley back in 2004 after quitting Microsoft. I remember it snowed heavily that day which corresponds to this weather archive. I would have said that I moved in there on the second at the latest, but I guess it could have been the third. I remember one of the receptionists made a comment about how it had started snowing as soon as I came in and I wondered about that comment. I was going crazy in that place after a while, but in retrospect, I would much rather be back there than here, without a doubt. Damn I miss having a car, to just be able to get out and drive around at night. The bastards were following me everywhere but at least I could have something to do in trying to shake them off. I hate it here and having to be around these people beyond tolerance.

I remember so vividly that day.
I have wondered many times about that specific day back in March 2004.
I remember renting a moving truck and putting my beloved Jeep Wrangler on a full trailer that I towed behind it.
I remember I was exhausted from moving out all my furniture by myself.
I had a large sectional leather sofa, a king size bed, lots of computers and stuff, and two heavy-ass tube televisions including one that I loaded last thinking it must weigh 700 pounds, among other stuff.
I remember in these past years wondering about how I moved everything on the 1st of the month, instead of the last day of February.
I worked all day moving that stuff and I remember driving through the night from Redmond near Seattle all the way across the state to Spokane on the east side of the state.
I stopped at an interstate highway rest stop in Idaho just outside of Coeur d'Alene and I slept a few hours in the driver's seat of that rental truck.
I was waiting for the storage building business in Coeur d'Alene to open that day, the 2nd.
I then checked in that day to the Crossland Hotel where I was living when I successfully completed the Ironman Coeur d'Alene on Sunday 27 June 2004.
Cannot recall the precise day I moved from the Crossland.
I moved back to Seattle and to the suburb of Kent. I must have moved in there in maybe late August or early September 2004. I left all my stuff in the storage locker in Idaho.
The first calendar day after that I have evidence of now is 6/11/2005, which was the day I went to the Redmond City police, which was a few yards away from that apartment I moved out of on 3/1/2004.
The Redmond police had me taken to the hospital in an ambulance.

Quotes
Oscar: Steve, it's just not possible!
Steve: You know that's not true, Oscar, because I'm living proof that it is possible!
Oscar: I'm not talking about technology! We can put Jaime back together again - I think it's possible. But there are other considerations!
Steve: Oscar, I asked you up here to help me. Now so far, all I've gotten is a handful of red tape! Now there's a woman in there with no hearing in one ear, an arm and both legs crushed beyond repair, and you... you have the power to put her back together again, just like you did me!
Oscar: Bionic limbs cost millions of dollars, d'you understand? Millions of dollars! I gotta get Rudy Wells and the whole bionic team up here. How am I going to justify the expense?
Steve: Well, how did you justify me?!
Oscar: That was different! There was a need!

CJ: Excuse me, not to shit on anyone's riff here, but let me see if I grasp this concept, okay? You're suggesting that we take some fucking parking shuttles and reinforce them with some aluminum siding, and then just head on over to the gun store where we watch our good friend Andy play some cowboy-movie, jump-on-the-covered-wagon bullshit?
