More Mechanical Madness

Here's David's update on the transmission problem:

It was a power plate that sheared off all the bolts (5 of the little suckers) and left us with no connection between the flywheel and the drive shaft. I have removed everything and will start trying to extract the bolts from the flywheel tomorrow. I have already called Jim at Bown's Engineering in Costa Mesa, and he is getting me another power plate shipped down to where Sharon of "Sunsation" will be, so she can bring it back down to us here.

Sharon will be in SoCal until Friday, March 27, so Suzi and David will be hanging around Manzanillo for the next week and a half or so.
