UPDATE:
I got my airplane out of annual last week from the new shop away from my home airport. I have flown the airplane about 4 hours in the last week and it seems to be doing well. The new shop has 3 mechanics (at the moment) and they seem like conscientious guys though relatively inexperienced on C337. The commute back and fourth through Chicago traffic was less than fun.
Anyway, my current thinking is to hang on until at least next spring and see how I feel then. There is a chance, I'll be moving away from Chicago all together and if that occurs, I will be retiring from airplane ownership. Anyway, much uncertainty in the coming year.
I appreciate all the suggestions, and I will consider them all when the time comes to retire from C337 ownership. Thanks, Ed
