Journal Notes
- Refuel and top up oil on arrival.
- AME says "beautiful shape", but right wheel was wearing so I replaced it.
- Super flight and great to fly into the Denmark.
- In RW, it has been over a month since my last flight.  A trip to Fort McMurray to volunteer after the wildfires and work has kept me busy.  Today they started to replace the deck and found some rot... and the deck pulled away from the house pretty easy since it only had 8 nails holding it!  The new deck will be much better.  And had a great picnic with Jenn, Lexy and Natasha at lunch!
