Journal Notes
- A nice flight across the water
- Nice crosswind on landing
- Refuel and top up oil on arrival.
- AME says "excellent shape",
- In RW, turns out the Radon test was higher than recommended.  I believe it is because I've cut back the ventilation in the basement to reduce heating costs.  Silly Keith.  We'll see how this goes now... might be a deal breaker?
