Ok on Mark, and I have the totals at home. Was gonna do that up at draft time.

Haven't picked draft. Might have to do it this weekend as it's time.

How much is it again Dave? I know trades are $2. Does he bring it with or do you want to collect at the end of the season?

It's $10 to get in, and then all moves cost $2.

So he needs to pay $10 to start and then the rest is collected at the end of the season.

Ok. I don't think we can do the draft this weekend. I don't think there is any wifi up in the state park.

Thanks for the Retirement Congratz...

It was really tough to tell my team during our weekly staff meeting... Kept getting all choked up and normally I only choke up when telling a really funny joke...

All kidding aside - it was a bugger.....

Hi Randy. Congrats on the retirement!

It came into the shop a few months back with some issues. Had a misfire on 1 cylinder.
It was had a broken rocker and one lifter was bad as well. The owner decided he didn't want to fix it so I bought it. Removed the heads and found one lifter destroyed and it took the cam with it. Removed the engine, tore it down and found the crankshaft and block to be OK. I ended up putting new pistons in it(it needed 1 and all new rings anyway), camshaft, new bearings, front cover, oil cooler, head studs and all associated gaskets.
