When I think of chicken nuggets or hot dogs my mind goes back to this old commercial that used to play on television in which this loud, really rude southern sounding man says, parts is parts! It is always the thought that goes through my mind when I see either of these foods. I can be here in Haiti or I can be in the States. It makes no difference to me 'cause parts is parts.
This is also the saying that has been going through my head as we search high and low for the burned out part we need to fix our generator. It will soon be a week that we have been looking for this part.
You would think parts is parts and we could just go to the hardware store. In this case, as is the case with many things here in Haiti, you must always ask yourself about the availabity of the parts for whatever it is that you are buying. If it breaks and it will break, can I get parts? If the answer isn't yes (because you have personally checked) - don't even think about buying it no matter how good of a deal it is.
In the process of looking for this magic part called an AVR something, something, something....we have had Dwight in Atlanta, Dan on-line with people in England and John in Florida all looking. I am happy to report that the part has been found and we hope that it will be coming in with John and Beth on Tuesday.
Until then we have the old Kabota from John and Beth's hooked up by-passing our part less generator so we can have fans at night and I won't have to write a blog on why we all have malaria.
