No worries. We are
all glad to see No. 9 running again .... passing her 12 times a day and wishing we could see her up and running once more was kinda hard, ya know. As a funny aside, we came up with a plan to restore her ourselves in the engine house up in Plume ,.. we would make a plywood mockpu aka: Hollywood, and late one night, we would swap them. Figgured CHS would never notice that the real engine was gone.
