I agree, I am not sure what happened with the mixture. Not something we discussed. I know about the replacement work, the throttle cable airplane sat for quite a while because the one mechanic in the shop at the airport where I landed fell off a ladder during it and his back was so messed up he couldn't do anything for quite a while. Incidentally he was replacing the fin boot on that airplane when he fell while waiting for the cable, the boot was working fine but for some reason the company wanted it replaced while the airplane was down. Whoops.
