As many of you know, I did not make the "Cappy's Great Adventure II (out west again)" or the PDK Airshow.
Some of you know that a major contributor to that is a lack of an engine on N996PJ (Papa Juliette)  .
Since I have been asked by several of you, here is the summary scoop.
---------------
- Time Over 1000 hours! (Great for engine that came with the "project"!)
- After KLKR "event", (last week in May) went straight into annual condition inspection with local engine guru taking a look at #4 cylinder (been burning some oil for a while now).
- Decided it needed to be replaced (precautionary move... probably would have worked another 500 hours with nothing done)
- Noticed some wear on lifters and cam. (Must split case to fix that and Patty and I want to fix it!)
- Call up Sue/Bart (Aerosport Power) to "git 'er done!". Sue gives me shipping contact. All is well so far.
- Long story short. Engine ***FINALLY*** arrived Friday!!!!!! (Please do not ask me any further questions about the shipping situation. Sue and I are BOTH not happy campers.)
- Aerosport will do what they can to help me in my efforts to get to SQI and OSH. Good people.
- I think the local crew here at Owens are setting about 9:1 odds that I will NOT make it in "Papa Juliette" 
- I am NOT giving up. Hope to finish the annual condition inspection this week and go on standby for the engine.
- Got a few mods to do.
- And YES, I plan to change PROPS one more time ...

p.s. I think I might have some props for sale later if this all works out.
