Sorry to hear about that river, I hope you recover in next to no time so you can be back out side and playing in the patrol farm and in no pain

Hmmm, interesting-

I see your doctor chose to use 2.5 inch, #5 thread, self tapping set screws to keep your heal-bone connected to your ankle-bone.

Are you sure he got the torque set correctly? if memory serves, those should be 14-18 in/lbs. :lol:


Pain sucks. I hope everything heals up properly, and you're back on your feet (and shoulder) soon !

Richard and I went to the Patrol farm on Sunday and saw River managed to help get some of the Patrols started with a little direction from their mom. I really had a good time talking Patrols and got to sit in most of them. I picked her brains all day :lol: and we may do a garage day when she is recovered and get the others going to. ;)

A huge "THANK YOU" to Audrey and Richard for the helping hands and mechanical expertise. Out of 6 Patrols they attempted to start 4 were successful. One had to be shut down right away because gas was puking from the carb and 2 were very cooperative. Seems both the trucks need some special attention though. They got the grand tour but without a docent. It's always a great day when you can talk Patrols with someone without their eyes glazing over. :D I can't say thank you enough. I really needed the break from the recovery routine. :clap:

You're welcome back anytime! :dance:
