That expensive Anniversary

It is my tenth anniversary owning an airplane. It has been an expensive one.
In the last year.... I have installed a new HSI(old one just kept
spinning), Re-built both magnetos, replaced my fuel pump, replaced the
Oil filter adapter, (that's everything on the accessory case!) replaced
my Attitude indicator and my engine preheater died. Now my GPS screen
went blank on the way work this morning. The unit continued sending out
position info to the HSI, but absolutely nothing on the display. Cost to
repair? About 1 AMU and 4 weeks. I think I found a shop willing to loan
me one while mine is being repaired.

So I am beginning to feel like I am married to a high maintanence man. ;-)

Hopefully she will be good for another ten years.
