Journal Notes
- Refuel (mains and tips) and add oil on arrival.
- AME says "excellent shape" after an inspection.
- Comments...  interesting scenery, some mountains enroute and reasonable wx on arrival...fun!  I finally figured out the best use of the tip tanks.  Best to get each main down to 1/2 tank then transfer.
- In RW, had a great Sunday service, then Jenn, Andrew and Lexy came over for lunch, pumpkin carving, and a game of Yahtzee.  I didn't win, but had a great visit!  Church meeting tonight.
