Did this to myself this morning loading flamin finger onto the trailer.  Wound up on the emergency room with a broken ankle and tibia, get a cast on monday for at least 3 weeks.  To those that I had things I intended to deliver at the auction i'll get things shipped instead, sorry about that :(

Damn Brian. You sure Mick didn't hobble you Misery-style for being a restoration super fan? I hope you heal well and quick.

Dude! That sucks so bad, I was in a similar boat in March.  :(

Don't be stupid and try to do too much too soon...It can mess you up even worse. I hope your healing goes well!

That is pretty awful stuff Brian and I feel your pain.  I had broken leg, dislocated ankle, and torn ligament in high school and had to wear a couple different casts for about 7 weeks.  It really sucked and of course it was winter in Michigan when I did it so I had to try and get around on crutches in the snow and ice. 

A couple weeks ago I had a close call moving a new pin in the house.  There was a light rain so my feet were wet and when pulling the game up a small step my shoe just lost all traction and slide out from under me.  So I fall right on my ass sandwiching my knee between the game/hand truck and floor.  Fortunately it was just some bruises and a limp for a couple days.

On the plus side though I think you will be a strong candidate in the next "worst game moving story" contest.

Brian - sorry to hear that, man that sucks. I hope you feel better.

The auction was big but there was a lot of chaff amongst the gems.

I'm sorry about prices i just couldn't accurately get them this time. The rows were stupid narrow so it was difficult to get near the game being auctioned thus it was really hard to hear the prices. I tried for a bit but it was too hard to make out what was going on half the time. They also weren't writing down prices on the stickers like normal.

I did take a bunch of pics and will post those here in a bit.

Overall there was a lot of stuff and probably a deal or two if you looked.. there was also a lot of stuff that needed to be taken straight to the dumpster!

I think most of the pins were ok, Ill let you know for sure when I tear into the Xenon later today ;)

Yea, the Captian Fantastic had massive damage. Littlewest got it, and even though it looks like old damage itll be gutted immediately. That cabinets not going inside!
