Shibumi's launch is scrubbed.
We had planned to leave tomorrow for the Kennedy Space Center
to watch the launch of the Space Shuttle Discovery.
After going through routine mechanical checks, we decided not to go.
I spent all of yesterday, and most of this morning, working on Shibumi's normally reliable Perkins Diesel.
I just don't have the tools or the talent to get it to perform up to standards.
My regular diesel technician, Jamie, will not be available until next week.
It is only a minor problem now, so I could operate the engine and have Jamie look at it when we return.
But I don't want to foolishly make a minor problem, major.
So, I am sad to say, the trip to watch the shuttle launch is canceled.
