Journal Notes
- New country!  Hello Paraguay!
- Refuel and top up oil on arrival.
- AME says "like new",
- In RW, contractors came in today to replace the dishwasher and install a water softener.  Regarding the move, the adjuster advised they will replace the damage motorcycle parts and not try to paint them.  Cool.  And a super birthday supper with Marg last night!
