Nothing is ever perfect...sigh
My ride this morning had some chain skipping, but it was so much less than before. I'm figuring with the adjustments I made to the derailleur before this crap started and that I have no idea if I put the old chain back on the same way it came off (inside-out, reverse flow direction, etc.), the little bit of skipping could be due to one, some or any of these things. However, I feel so much closer to solving this than before. A few readjustments to get it back closer to "normal" (whatever that might have been

until my new/exchange chain comes in.....

I've put the old "loose" pulley (top) back on (left the new bottom pulleys) and will test the results on a ride tomorrow morning. I expect I will experience no skipping during my ride.
Now to see if I can find the correct top pulley....
Also, the pulleys are 10T (not 11T).
