I'll work on that when I get it back from the avionics shop.

Touchdown! Greaser!
So, I'm two months into the ownership journey and so far it's gone pretty well (all wood available has been knocked on). I've flow her about 28 1/2 hours and covered 13 states and roughly 5000 miles. I'm feeling really comfortable in it after taking many years away from Twin Cessna's.
Maintenance wise, I've had a couple things pop up but I suppose it's to be expected (nothing close to what @Ted DuPuis is dealing with thank god). I had to have the left fuel divider over-hauled as it was dripping fuel. The heater AD came out and my heater didn't pass inspection so I will have to have it repaired before next winter (can't mess around with heaters on twins), hopefully it's on the easier side of repair and I don't need it completely over-hauled or a new one. My glide slope on my HSI just stopped working but I have an appointment to get a Garmin G5 installed next week so I will have it repaired then (online appears to be minor as it passes GNS530 startup test). Last chance @arkvet and @NealRomeoGolf to talk me out of the G5 if you guys have had any issues with your's?
Here's a couple pics of the first two months...
First day I got her home.

And that's all. Sorry for the @denverpilot long post
I had a really nice trip to D.C. with a nice Appalachian crossing but I didn't think to snap any photos.
Hopefully the next 10 months are as nice and uneventful as the last 2 and the first annual doesn't break the bank!
Gotta love the turn and slip indicator, been a while since I saw one of those.

Yep. I'm south of Atlanta. UGA is my college team.

And the yaw damper is built into it so as long as that keeps working (currently is great) I'll be keeping it.

Go Dawgs!
I learned to fly at AHN. Was a flight instructor/flew aerial mapping at FFC in my before life.

Ah, nice. I flew into AHN on my long XC back in the day doing my private. Actually it had gotten dark when I landed there and had to spend the night in the FBO because I wasn't comfortable continuing at night. I'm not too far from FFC. I'm thinking about doing my CFI at Falcon, but at the Newnan location.
