Here we go again

First the bad news.
We will here, in Plattsbugh NY at least another day since the parts shipment did not arrive as expected. Hopefully it will arrive tomorrow. They are tracking the shipment and doing there best to get the items here.

The good news.
Even we expected that things are covered by Warranty they did confirm that this morning, over $5k in parts. So basically we have a rebuilt engine and new the $5k+ of after treatment parts. To bad it took so many years to get the aftetreatment fixed.

We spent most of the weekend visiting sites in the area. One is the 1812 war museum where we had a private tour of the museum and detailed discussion from the Phd volunteer.  The thing we learned is that Plattsburgh was the main objective of the war, the fighting in DC, Baltimore, New Orleans and Sackets Harbor were diversion attacks to draw forces away from the main objective here at Plattsburgh.  Why you ask? The British wanted Lake Champlain, the water highway, to control the eastern seaboard. If they had succeeded we would be Canadians.

We also visited Transportation Museum. Again a private, well almost, tour. We met another couple from Culpeper VA. Although we didn't know them we did have a nice visit. As transportation museums go this was small but quite informative. Many of the vehicles we saw were new to us among a Lozier touring car, home built electric car, 1911 Kissel racer. We were allowed to sit it the unique car. Yes I sat in it.
