Journal Notes
- Refuel (mains and tips) and add oil on arrival.
- AME says "spark plugs a bit fouled" but took care of those.
- Comments... well, I changed my tip tank strategy and didn't lose a drop out the vents. Some bumps and mountains enroute... and then a night arrival in mist... love the ILS option.
- In RW, the kids came over for supper!  A fun visit as always!
