    After reading your wonderful posts over the last more than a year and a half I a few times wondered 'what the heck does epiphysis mean'. of course, loads of people use strange names, so it wasn't really that important for me to know why you picked that name. Until this afternoon while reading some old Peanuts cartoons I found this with Charly Brown saying after a baseball game: "The X-rays revealed separation and fragmentation of the epiphyisis of the right medial epicondyle and loss of fascial markings about the elbow suggesting hematoma". With of course Lucy translating this to "I think that doctor was just trying to tell you in a nice way that that you are a lousy pitcher."
    I should have known 'epiphysis' had something to do with your profession. Now of course I'll have to look up what it means :)

    I always enjoy reading your posts.

    Jeff,
    If you would like to come down to Oxford, we could put you up for the night. We could meet up with the group at Bob Evans or take my favorite back roads to Indy.

    Morning Doc.
    Oxford is indead a great place. We drove through about 30 years ago and fell in love with the place Didn't know a sole here, but decided it would be a great place to raise the kids. Set up a financial services/CPA firm and went from there. About 10 years ago I was invited to teach at Miami and have been teaching one or two tax or financial accounting classes each semester since. Hope to meet you in Indy.

    Hey dude, just wanted to let you know we made it home safe and sound. Had a great time, thanks for all you did to arrange this, this was an awesome trip and your hospitality (yours and Candy's) made us feel at home. Cant wait to go sailing again. Marilyn says hi and thanks as well. Take care my friend.

    You did a GREAT job with this ride and all those people, Jeff (you and Candy). You sure know how to open your house and make people feel welcome.

    Hi, I have an 05 VTX1300R with the rectangular mirrors, they should be the same for a 1800.

    Hey Epi,
    Long time no talk to you. Was just wondering, can I get your address so I can do some planning for the trip in July. want to be able to plot out a route and calculate the distance in case we need to leave on Monday rather than Tuesday with the rest of the group. Hope you have having a great weekend. We are looking forward to the trip, just keep hoping that everything works out ok (work, health, etc). Talk to you soon.

    Epi, how long have you had those engine guard chaps? Do you do anything to them to maintain them? Ordered some and they should be here tomorrow... maybe.

    Scotrod said that you might be able to help me with this problem. I have turbulence from lower down on my bike that comes up and around the tank. It also brings up rain right into my face. I have the Hondaline shield and Cobra fatty bars and would like to know if Desert Dawgs would help. Have the Dawgs helped you and are they worth the price? Or would just lowers do the job?

    Surgery is set for the 12 of this month and she is so ready. I look forward to it as well, at least I won't be getting hit in the head with that brace in the middle of the night anymore, lol. Will let you know how everything turns out and thanks again for all your wisdom, it really helped out!!!
