Journal Notes
- 14,000 ft is my highest cruise altitude to date
- Refuel and top up oil on arrival.
- AME says "beautiful shape".
- In RW, rain last night then a couple inches of wet snow to clean up before a showing.  I'm done with winter!  Headed to the Finer Diner for an excellent brunch, then around the Peggy's Cove loop to home.  Sun came out briefly in the afternoon.  Turning cold again.
