Our short lived thrill of victorious starter repair has given way to the agony of defeat. Upon testing the starter again yesterday morning, the starter is back to square 0. Upon further examination of said starter's innards, I have made the esecutive decision that aquiring a new starter is in order (it appears to already have been rebuilt at least once before). I have, admittedly, taken the loss pretty hard. In reality though, it is a minor setback for the Wing and I should be able to get it back over the Mighty Mack later this week once the new starter arrives. I find that, after its outstanding performance over the past few weeks, it has become very important to me that the Wing completes the trip back to T.C. under its own power...it has earned it!).
In the meantime, I met up with Jeanette at the bridge yesterday and am catching up on some much needed time with her ( and Sully and George of course). Stay tuned for the last leg of the rescue mission, as well as some supplemental pictures from the trip that I will be posting.
