Default Kentucky Auction

I was wondering if anybody from Michigan, northern Ohio,or northern Indiana is going to the auction sale in Kentucky ? The reason I ask is that I have a friend that is going to be there from Florida with some metal for my engine. I was wondering if someone would want to bring it back from Kentucky ?

For anyone that may be able to escort this piece of steel for Larry. The piece is only 40" long x 25 1/2" wide x 12 3/8" high (U-shaped firebox bottom) and it only weighs 194 pounds. It can be easily stowed in the bed of a pick-up or even the large trunk of a car.

I know it will be a lot of fun. But time has become my worst enemy. So much to do and so little time to do it.

We sent in a couple of agents from the KGB to get some info. They were helping Karen sort out what she is keeping and what she is selling. There are wagons of injectors, governors, oilers, packing, belting etc, that are not listed. Some of the stuff will make you drool, i.e. a couple of the rachtet style lubricators for Keck engines. The remark that one of them made to me was that it was amazing how much stuff he (Alan) had and that he must have bought something every day. From what I hear there are barns full of stuff to sell. He said after seeing what all there is to sell, he is worried that the auction is underadvertised and hopes there will be a good showing.

That's it. I'll be there.

What does KGB stand for? Keck Gonnerman Botherhood?

Suden1, I know what Tommy Lee says KGB stands for, but remember, this is a CLEAN, family oriented forum, and we just don't use that kind of language here.
