Just aimless local buzzing around flights for another few hours when weather permits, dropping into a few local airports and getting more familiarized with my aoa and slower landing speeds. All good fun.
Cheers,

Got a foot of snow and below freezing temps, so no flying. Used gcmap.com to make a map of this year's flights. Lots of close by, short flights.

Wife said she was not flying in our Europa unless we got a new engine for it so, on the day of her birthday, she bought me one. What an angel she is (well, I have known that for 32 years)  The motivation for the swap is that since the airplane is flying so great, and that we want to fly this airplane a lot across the country (and maybe take it to Europe if I can still fly when we retire), we figured that starting with a fresh engine would bring increased enjoyment.
Lockwood happened to have an engine in stock so Saturday my son and I drove to Sebring to pick it up. Mr. Lockwood himself, together with two more employees, helped me muscle the engine on my truck despite the fact that they are closed on Saturday. Nice people. This certainly happened a lot quicker than I expected (I thought I was not going to be able to get an engine for a year so the plan was to keep flying the airplane with the current engine).
I placed my 100 hr since iRMT Repair Center rebuilt engine for sale at Barnstormers if anyone is interested. The engine runs very well but I did have some issues with it that I hope are resolved (our local iRMT technician thinks so) so if anyone is interested give me a call and I'll tell you the whole story. Last thing I want is a Europa friend to be upset with me over this.
So the engine is off the plane and will get ready to install the new one this week.

Making progress on the panel upgrade, albeit slowly. Still have lots of wiring to finish as well the installation of the GPS 175 and relocation of the transponder.
Why does it seem so simple on paper, yet take twice as long or longer to actually complete the tasks? 🙁
