Baby, it's cold out there!

My Arrow is in annual inspection mode right now. The mechanic called
to tell me that the landing gear reinforcement part for SB1161 has
been back-back-ordered and won't be in until Feb. 13. With zero
forecast in Chicago over the weekend, they can keep the airplane until
further notice.

I've never regretted having January inspections, although sometimes
it's a challenge to get the plane to the shop.
