Well, this is kinda funny.  Almost funny enough to make me cry.  Carolyn
from Aircraft Spruce called and asked if I was happy with the shipment.  I
walked out onto the porch and saw a pile of trash near the door, the remains
of the box and packing.  It seems the kids' black Lab puppy had struck
again!  I sifted through the remains hoping that the position sensor had
been spared, but eventually found the plastic wrapper that it had been
wrapped in.  I never found the sensor, so I suspect it was a chew toy for
the morning.  Carolyn was still on the phone, so she got the UPS insurance
process under way for a replacement.

This same dog ate a $400 chip for my car about 6 months ago, because the UPS
man practically fed the package to the dog, despite a big sign admonishing
"UPS, FEDEX...Please put packages on shelf, dog will EAT anything left on
porch!"
I guess the morning guy hadn't been indoctrinated yet, and didn't bother to
read the sign or put the package on the shelf, so my sensor is toast now.  I
guess I deserve it for being such a whiner.  Maybe I'll have better luck
welding up the last of my intake manifold...
