I know I haven't been posting much, but that's mainly because nothing much of note has been happening. I've been flying, but not really going anywhere in particular. The engine continues to run very well, and the plane is still solid. I was hoping to do more "destination" flying this year but, for whatever reason(s), it didn't really happen. Next year, hopefully....
On the horizon, though, is the annual inspection. It's already scheduled for mid-December, since the last annual is good to the end of that month. I've also arranged for it to be an owner-assisted annual. I'm told that every airplane owner should do this at least once and I can certainly understand why that is the case, even before I do it. I will be learning about my airplane in a way that nothing else will match and, incidentally, save some money at the same time. I'm looking forward to it.
Leading up to the annual, I have been compiling a list of squawks that I want to take care of. With a plane this age, there are always going to be some. Nothing major, nothing that affects airworthiness, but items that I want to get fixed regardless. Hopefully, the annual itself and any fixes that need to be made won't be terribly expensive. Last year's annual was sort of mixed in with the engine overhaul, as it was done at the same time as the engine was re-installed. This year it will be standalone.
