Journal Notes
- New country! Hello Brazil!
- Refuel and top up oil on arrival.
- AME says "inspect engine", Change oil filter, now in "beautiful shape".
- In RW, a nice long weekend Saturday. Called Mom and Dad and had a nice chat. Met Joanne and Wayne for brunch and a great visit at Denny's. Then headed to 'Plates' to get our Health Cards sorted out and ordered my amateur radio plate (VE6KTH) for the truck. Then to get Marg some socks, then headed to the tile place to pick out tile for the fireplace and kitchen. Jenn and Lexy came for a visit when we got home. They left before supper. Nice curry dish, then onto FSX for a great flight! P.S. Snow!!
