lets hope it heals better this time Jim.Stitches are out. Looks better. They want me to go easy on it for another week before I start pushing it.

How goes the healing?
Getting there. Still a bit tender and a bit swollen. I can walk on it more or less normally now... still can't fit a shoe on though.
As with the previous 3 tries, it's a slow road.

Developed bad arthritis in my left foot a couple years ago. Dr. told me they could fix that, 2 months off my foot completely, another 2 months in a boot then undetermined time in therapy. Still hobbling about, can't afford to be out that long.
I too prefer no knives, no drugs approach. An anti inflammatory diet allows me to participate in CrossFit while limited by arthritis. I understand that sometimes that doesn’t always get it done but I get enough relief to keep on.
Got there in the end. On the phone with Anthony this evening, he gave the engine as Continental A65.
Cool! Same basic engine, just an earlier version. It's a good, dependable engine.

Just got my EAA magazine, big article on a Jr. Ace, haven't read it yet. Hoping to get the condition inspection (annual) done on the Piet in the next few days. Time to fly!
