Yet another annual story

Well, my airplane got a quick annual this year.

I brought N56713 to the aeroclub hangar Friday at ~5pm
after flying it around the pattern to get it warm. One A&P
and I worked on it until 10pm. Saturday, I worked with
the A&P and IA from 8am until 5:30pm to finish it up.

Only problems were adding fluid to the struts, repair
of the trim indicator (I have no idea when that broke),
and replacement of the shroud for carb heat.

Annual inspection and repairs cost me 16 hours for
the A&P and IA and ~15 hours of my time. Plus the
cost of the oil, oil filter, air filter, and, of course,
the shroud. Can you believe that a new shroud costs
over $800?

For me, this wasn't the least expensive annual inspection
and repair, but definitely the quickest in calander time.
The airplane was in the hangar less than 24 hours.
