For the update, and here's to getting your truck and knee fixed. Is it your clutch pushing leg? Gotta get that one fixed right... :D

...I don't know if this applies or gives you any solace, but they've made great strides in knee surgery/reconstruction/replacement. My wife's grandfather had to have both knees replaced at the same time. The good news is it was only a matter of 6 or 8 weeks and he was playing golf again...bionic. 8)

Well I got relatively good news. Everything looks pretty normal in the knee. I have a partially torn ACL but that appeared to be an old injury and would not be causing my pain. HE feels it is just some sort of inflammation that is just rubbing stuff under my kneecap. He gave me 2 steroid injections (Oh Thanks) and within just a short while I got much relief. 12hrs later I have almost no pain and I worked all day. So let's just hope that things stay calmed down!

No back to your regularly scheduled hyperpak programming

Good to hear Rick.

I had the cortisone shots in my spine a few years ago. They worked great. Also had a bunch in my feet. They didn't do much there.

Glad to hear you're in better straights, Rick.

My wife tore her ACL, got it replaced, then years later had similar issues related to a "bucket tear" of the cartilage. They trimmed that out and it's been fine for years after that.

Here's hoping you'll be pushing in a real clutch with no effort from herein.

Brian

I am on a weeks vacation at the beach so hopefully I can rest things for a week. Knee still feels good and I slept well for the first time in weeks.

Thanks for the updates. Here is wishing you a speedy recover. I call my knees Rice Krispies now because they snap crackle and pop as I walk. :wink:

Sinuses are airtight proof against "intelligent design". Heh, see what I did there?

See the link below to view photos of the Hyperpak and the Argentina manifold fitted to a K frame with P/S and A/C. These were taken by Lou & Brian. Thanks Guys!
