My bride does not like over the ear headsets. She will start out with it on and I’ll say something ...no answer ...I’ll look over and the headset is in her lap!

Still haven’t done anything about ADSB out as I was waiting for the tail beacon to be certified and about the time that happened I started seeing info about the tail beacon-X in the pipeline.

Frank my suggestion is that you enlist the grandsons to help.

Brian I installed an EI 6 probe EGT/CHT during annual this year and my experiences parallel yours. I have been contemplating the extra baffles.
