Journal Notes
- Refuel (mains) and add oil on arrival
- Nice scenery.
- AME says "great shape" with some light plug fouling.
- In RW, had a great birthday lunch for Carl with the whole fam!  Palomino has great food... and great company there too.  Did some snow blowing, including 4 neighbour drives and a long sidewalk.   Easy with the Toro... except for the extension chord casualty hiding under the snow at the neighbour's... doh.
