- Stiff headwinds on this trip... grounding 99 kts! Looking forward to seeing Europe!!
- In RW, started the day vacuuming the house from yesterday's festivities.  Then carried on to have coffee with Jenn and Lexy, then install new garage lighting and the ceiling frame for the kayak hoist.  Even pulled down the basketball net at the driveway.  Now to finish a day off with a flight.  Back to workies tomorrow.
