Ok, make it two or three days...

Turns out the scooter wasn't as far along as I presumed.
Turns out the crankshaft wasn't there yet. Obviously I misunderstood the conversation on Saturday.
Turns out the crankshaft is being picked up "tonight" from Fedex's depot, or the post office or where ever else things go when they can't be delivered because no-one's home or the place isn't open yet... (Been there, done that! I've had to travel all the way out to Mississauga to pick up Christmas presents I'd ordered from BestBuy. Irony? The FedEx depot is right behind the BestBuy in Mississauga. Good thing I had those gifts shipped!)

Ok, close enough. The mechanic working on my scooter told me what he'd done so far, and described the new bench seat they're installing. No lock on it at the moment, so I'll have to get that put in later. With gas going up to a zillion dollars a litre, people might just get desperate and start syphoning out my 4 litres of gas. Hm. May not be worth the cost of the lock!

If the crankshaft gets to the shop tomorrow, and it really does take 2 days to build? Great. Otherwise, I'm probably looking at next week, not this week.

I don't mind. I just wish I hadn't been told otherwise. Hate getting my hopes up.

Whatever, the part is here. That's all that matters. Misunderstandings happen. We're one step closer, and that's all it takes.
