OK, how did they loose that!

Sunday, I cleaned in the shop and worked on the Stinson.  I got the radio installed and all programmed, now all I have to do is put the cowl and propeller on.  Then I will be watching for some nice weather to test fly it.  I started doing some checking on our sink and emailed UPS as it's tracking information had not been updated since the 3rd when it arrived in Hodgkins, IL.  They referred me to the shipper (Amazon), so I sent them an email.  Monday morning when I checked my email, there was a reply from Amazon that it was lost and they were refunding my money.  We decided to look in Longview again and see if we could find anything that would work.  After a nice breakfast at the Pancake House, we started looking  around Longview.  We did not have any luck there, Searing could order one for $600!  We decided against that and came home to order one again.  Amazon had provided us with links to 3 businesses that had the one we want in stock.  I ordered it from the one with the best customer reviews, and with any luck we should have it in a week or so.  I am glad I did not tear the old one out yet!
