She'll be comin home soon! ROAD TRIP!!!

I can't believe it! My heart is broken,

delay after delay. We still have not

gone to bring our engine home yet.

It is almost too much to take being

led on that it is ready and then held

off because something else is not

right and has to be fixed. Someone

pour me glass of wine. I need to

ponder this one.

She is big, no doubt about it. Comes in, bumper to bumper at 32 feet! But is a light weight compared to the other engines, weighing 10,000 less, with a good angle of departure and great turning radius.

I am so stoked! After countless delays and I might add unnecessary delays. BME has nearly finished our new engine. They are working on the finishing touches and will be getting the final inspection later this week. Then Mr. Fyreman and I shall make the trip to Boise to bring our new pride home. It has been 16 months since our engine burned in our station. I do believe that September 26 is finally our pick up date! We have been so sick of waiting and the delays that now that the time is near it is very exciting. We shall take the new "flamey dice" with us to install right away!
