We Just Lost the Moon

That's a quote from Apollo 13, after the astronauts realized that they weren't going to be able to land on the moon. That's exactly how I feel. I'm still sitting in the service center at 130 pm, with work still being done on my car. The IAT sensor was bad, so they replaced that. But, it didn't fix the problem with the car. Then they thought it must be the ignition module since the crank shaft sensor wasn't throwing any codes. That didn't solve the problem, and they finally got the crank shaft sensor to fail. So, am finally waiting for that part to arrive. But, it's too late for reaching my chase target in southeast Kansas where a big event will likely occur later this evening. I'm about 6 hours away, and at this point, even if I left right now, I'd be arriving likely after things were already popping. Storms will continue well after dark, but chasing after dark doesn't have the reward for me. So, I feel like I've just lost the moon. I know it's not the end of the world, but it's also very frustrating at the same time. There is still some potential here, perhaps in northeast Nebraska, but it's certainly not going to be as impressive of a show as the southern target. But, as I said before, I really didn't want to be stranded hundreds of miles from home either with a car that wouldn't start.
