Journal Notes
- Refuel and top up oil on arrival.
- AME says "beautiful shape" but noted some right flap wear.  Honest, I don't lower flaps until I'm below 100 kts!  He fixed the part and I'm good to go.
- Weather cooperated for this flight (I waited on weather to do this flight), but a wee bit of a gusty crosswind on landing in St. Anthony.  Only one more leg in Canada until I return from Asia.  Need to stock up on Keith's.
- In RW, the illness/cold is improving... just in time to return to work.  Had a great chat with Martin during the flight.  My Green Bay Packers won't be continuing in the playoffs.  Maybe next year!
