Journal Notes
- A nice early morning flight; nothing eventful enroute
- Refuel and top up oil on arrival.
- AME says  to inspect engine (replace air filter).  AME wipes his hands with a rag after making repairs and says it is in "excellent shape" again,
- In RW, the 'sold' sign did not go on the lawn last night.  The radon inspection report hasn't been sent to the buyers yet.  Dang.  Had a great evening with Marg, and this morning I took her to the airport for her two-week trip to Calgary!  I'm a bachelor again.  :-/
