[Rhodes22-list] Catastrophe or a disaster?

Rummy,

Yeah, and you're an a-hole! Make yourself useful and find me a Heim rod end
bearing HMX5FG.  Beech only wants $156 - Aircraft Spruce has a 5G for $51
but it doesn't have the flush lubricant port. Its gotta be a Heim brand, no
equivilents, the FAA gods said so. I've tried locally and on the net and
can't find one.  I gotta go fly today to pay for all this crap!  I've
decided to sew my mainsail on the CoraShen back together for one more season
to help pay for the other toys.  It isn't a big deal if I can't find this
bearing, it's just a small part that makes the wheel "thingies" go up and
down.
