Journal Notes
- Refuel and top up oil on arrival.
- AME says I need to "inspect engine" (mention of oil leaks). Changed oil, oil filter and fuel filter.  Good to go now... "beautiful shape".
- Weather cooperated for this flight.  Well, no longer in Canada.  Lots of water.  Big day!
- In RW, had a great day!  Chores done early, and a visit from Jenn and Lexy.  Fun!  Now off for a walk with Marg.  Superbowl tomorrow... go Denver!!
