I sold my 172 taildragger project earlier this year and have had intense seller's regret. Meanwhile, I've been looking about for a "home" for the extra O-200 and McCauley prop that's been taking up space in my hangar. I will fly that combo for now, until the right O-320-E2D comes along. I wish it had the Del-Air STC instead, as I think that'd let me install the O-360 that's available to me right away. Also wish I hadn't sold the spare prop for the Warrior after I'd sold the airplane, since I'd now need it for the horsepower upgrade here. I've been fighting my hoarding tendencies and selling off spares (much to the enthusiastic support of the girlfriend), then it turns out (over and over) that I should have kept stuff. Alix calls me a "weirdo" (and reminds me that she loves me) as she watches my struggle.

In other news, I hired a paint guy to put new clothes on Tim Noto's 150L, that has been sitting naked for more than ten years. I'm realizing I don't have the time to do everything myself, which has been glaringly obvious for a while. The engine for it is nearly assembled and should be ready by the time it's needed. The Garmin stack is getting upgraded with a 400W replacing the 155XL, so that it can be my primary trainer for a much needed instrument rating.
