Flint highlights & aftermath

[Attila Bethlenfalvy]

Attila,that 59 pontiac looks just like the rig that my competition ran.same colors too.Don't know how it would have gotten to that junkyard,but it's possible.

Willing to bet it is indeed the same ambulance given location Denny.

Other items retrieved on tail end of Flint trip.

Finally landed one of these large lithographed metal prewar calendars. Lovely shape, haven't even cleaned it yet. Dates work, heh.

Matched pair of prewar Bomgardner velvet casket biers. Too cool.

Door and window mount nameplates. Theis is early '30s, solid cast bronze, proportionately quite heavy for size, and in impeccable original condition. Love it.

Large art deco aspiration bottle, told '30. Can't find another online to verify. Beautiful fluted glass in great condition. Typical small Dodge (left) and large 1880's Dodge (right) embalming bottles displayed for size comparison. Anyone familiar?

5' long, thick, heavy beveled glass panel turn of century FD sign originally mounted above front parlor doors. Gold leaf and black lacquer on reverse. Purchased via live auction a couple months ago but chose not to ship for obvious reasons.

Oh and I also checked status of this all original hidden gem. Still tucked away waiting patiently.....

I wanted to give everyone an update on my knee injury from Flint. I went to a specialist today. He confirmed that my lateral collateral ligament in my right knee has a tear in it and that I have bone contusion / bone bruising. The fluid around my knee has lessened since Friday though. The doc also said that I'll be more likely to suffer from arthritis in my knee from the bone damage, so that's something I'll just have to keep an eye on as the years pass.

I have to wear a brace for the next two weeks and no twisting or exercise that is high impact for 5-7 weeks and absolutely no Insanity workouts. Even with meds for pain and swelling, it still hurts a decent amount all of the time, whether I'm sitting, standing, walking, etc and I can't stand for more than a few minutes without the pain getting way worse. I'm hoping that the next 5-7 weeks go quickly because this is no fun.

Thanks to everyone who has been calling/emailing/texting me to check up on me. I appreciate it.

Should send you my old guy cane got for my 60th,no really it has bicycle horn,a bell, flashing red lights,and a rear view mirror,while sitting with your leg up resting, no sense yelling,horn and bell have em running....rest it up and get well quickly.

 

[Darren Bedford]

Get well quick Sarah !

It wasn't fun seeing you slowly walking around with a limp at the meet and hotel.

I hope it is back to normal asap and no future issues with your knee.

Take it easy,
Darren
