Bummer! I didn't realize you needed a new engine. That sucks. Here I figured you'd probably finally made it out of Michigan. Well, don't worry, you will! As for me, I'm temporarily off the road - in Malawi, doing some work for a change. It's actually quite interesting, but I miss Matilda! She's in Boulder, waiting for me to return, sometime after Thanksgiving. So are you now ditching your mechanic's engine person and going with a Boston Bob? Or still waiting for one from the same guy?

Live and learn- instead of getting my new engine from Boston Bob like I was planning, I let the mechanic talk me into getting it someplace he has dealt with before. Unfortunately, after waiting a week for the engine, the wrong one was shipped- air cooled instead of water cooled. Now we have to wait another week for the right one! I had hoped to be in sunny warm southern Cal by now!! Michigan is getting a bit nippy, plus I am having to camp out with friends and family whereever I can find a bed. With a dog and a cat, that's not easy. Think happy thoughts for me!
