thanks for happy thoughts, if anyone wants to give up serviceable used parts for a good price for a good cause to help a good kid out let me know, I'm hoping to fund the bulk of it myself as "lead" mechanic, this is really on me anyway
I insisted on carrying an extinguisher when we fired it up and took drives, stupidly left it out this run, huge mistake, one will be on board from now on (assuming we opt to rebuild)
too eager
it was running pretty nice too, my last words before the fire were:
"it's running the best yet"
then, "is that steam?"
then, "oh #$$# that's smoke and fire!"
