A little good news found my way. The Incubator Fairy made the connection and a 3rd hand incubator has been gifted to our little slice of paradise. Verified working by the Incubator Fairy and currently residing with DD#2. DD#1 will be trekking back from too close to Canada in 10 days and will transport it south, hopefully, ahead of fuzziness. (we don't drive in snow, ice or deep water. shallow water is fine. Mud is fun!)
We are requesting no rain, snow, sleet, large trucks or dark of night for the journey south. A long and arduous trek that it is. Future SIL has earned a new badge and can now triumphantly drive a manual transmission for this mission. He will brave the great white north and go rescue his love. Love conquers all!
I would like to blame
@Texas Kiki . It is her! Or should that be "it is she!"? For pushing the crazy switch a little too far.
I would like to thank the lovely Incubator Fairy!
@Pugsabi - may all your eggs be fertile and pip on the big end!
And Mrs. Clause for setting the wheels of fate in motion.

(I do believe!)
