It ain't so bad

Good news on my bike. It's not the transmission, it's the drive shaft! That changes a 10 hour repair job with many new parts, to a 3 hour repair with few new parts. They may be able to fix it while I'm in Tulsa, and I may be able to ride it home. I'll know more on Saturday. Good thing I didn't purchase my return flight yet! I'm currently in a very nice bar in Reno with Reno John, one of my bike buddies, waiting til it's time to go to the airport.
