Deja Vu
The traveller has reached the end of the journey! Edmund Burke This is a story of a man and an engine. I will begin with the first time we tried to retrieve it from the seller. From March 2016 - A few weeks ago Monty bought an engine with hopes of building his own airplane so we can fly when we want. The only problem was he bought it in Ohio. Okay, now we have to go pick it up. No problem, we have the Dodge one ton truck and we decide to go this past Thursday. Pack up and we head off. First stop, Mexico Missouri (4 hrs from here) to visit the Zenith Aircraft Shop where the plane kits are made that Monty wants to use. We meet a very nice man who gives us a tour and we get to see the plane we want and touch and sit in. Exciting. Back on the highway towards Mansfield, Ohio where the engine is located - 14 more hours to drive. We cross Missouri, get through the busy St Louis traffic and 40 miles later, near Pocahontas, IL, BAM!! What a loud noise we hear. Flat tire?? No, t
