Journal Notes
- Time to head north!
- Refuel and top up oil on arrival.
- AME says "beautiful shape",
- In RW, it has been a while.  Since my last flight we have sold the house in Halifax, I started my new job in Calgary (CYYC, Alberta, Canada), purchased a house in CYYC, moved to the new house. The Radon issue in the old house was resolved with a mitigation plan/funds.  Hardwood floor renovations are complete here.  Sorting out the move damages with the movers now.  Most important... glad to be back near the kids!!!
