Journal Notes
- Refuel (mains and tips) and add oil on arrival
- Lots and lots of desert... zzz.
- AME says "beautiful shape" but an a binding left aileron hinge had me using rudder to make my turns near the airport... blamed me for not doing a proper preflight inspection ... guilty!
- In RW, Marg and I went out to check the ice fishing situation at Chain Lake and Lake McGregor.  And Lexy is over for a sleepover!!!
