I know. To make it even worse, the only annuals I had with my citabria
were painless so I may be overdue. I am looking forward to taking care
of some small items at the same time. In the mean time, I've got to
invest in a rebuilt starter adapter.

We wrapped ours up today. Buttoned everything back up, and then
started on all the stupid little cosmetic things that drive ya nuts
over time, but don't usually get addressed. So, I spent a few
hours...

...replacing corroded interior screws and washers.
...repainting the flap handle and flap handle housing.
...applying new wing-walk. (Now THERE is a cheap high...)
...fixing the wing root rubber that was gooey from the gas leak
...cleaning exhaust residue off the belly.

Signed, sealed (literally!), and delivered for $1038.00. Not bad at
all, considering all the extra work my A&P on that fuel leak.

Atlas is good for another year -- tomorrow, we go fly!
