Thank you everyone

I wanted to extend a huge thank you to everyone who offered their tools/help/garages/spare motors this weekend. I did make it home, albeit on a u-haul dolley and driving a Ford Econoline. The search starts tomorrow for parts.

Thanks again

-Jim

at least your "one rotor" kept up well with the rest of our groups, unlike others =)

Did you take on the Dragon with the Econoline on the way home?

Nope. They drove The Dragon on the way in. My mom wants a sticker. I need to order that soon...

That's good to hear that it was only one rotor for you Gordon. Has Dave had a chance to disassemble your motor to find the root cause of the bearing failure?
