Barrett-Jackson at Palm Beach 2008
« on: March 27, 2008, 05:29:14 PM »
Are you guys watching the auction at all?  Since I am laid up, I have plenty of time to surf the net and watch the TV.  Today, there were great deals to be had in Palm Beach.  There was a awesome dune buggy that sold for like 10K and the build cost was like 30K.  It was also street legal.  A restord HD Panhead sold for 9K!  Good buy there also.

Art,

Good viewing, huh?! Enjoy your time off buddy. Not often we get a free pass from work. The swelling should be mostly gone and the knee much more flexible in 1 week. Prop it up and ice it. Pop a Perc and take a nap on the couch. How long do you think you'll be off? I was out doing service work for the business I used to own in 1 stupid week after having both knees scoped at the same time. I didn't have the luxury of sick leave or another service tech. Oh, and don't be doing any phone bidding on the Harleys.  ;)

hef,

I am fine.  I don't have much swelling, just some fluid swishing around.  I am bored to death here, I much rather be at work teaching our youth.

I am getting a sore back from sitting around and my dogs are looking at me like, hey lets go outside and play you lazy bum.

My wife made some very stong coffee this morning and I am buzzing - I usually drink half-caf.

I have been reading about Geeto's oil issue.

My Hot Rod engine will be broken in soon and I do find it runs hot with the extra compression.  10w40 Castrol during break-in and cooler daytime temps, but once the hot weather starts I will need a better oil.  I am running that oil cooler so I am a bit worried that a heavier oil may not circulate as well.  Who knows?  I have a case of Honda HP4 10w40 that I will run.  I have to make a modification to the oil filter adapter that Terry made for me.  The Wix filter I am using fits snug and doesn't have a very deep recess for oil flow, so I will make the oil passage way a bit longer on the adapter to be sure the oil flows through the filter better.  I am not sure if it really matters, but I want to be safe.

I tore my knee up coaching wrestling.  Had it scoped on Wed.  I'll be up and running in a few weeks.

Hey Art,
It's going to be tough to kick ass on that bike if your knee's stiff. Hope you get better fast and easily,
Ben
