Journal Notes

- Refuel (mains) and add oil on arrival.

- AME says "beautiful shape".

- Comments... a nice, easy, relaxing flight.  Except when the original airport wasn't in P3D.. diverted to VTBD.

- In RW, cards last night with the Weeda's, church this morning, then HAM stuff until after supper.  Ran two LMR 400 coax in 1.5" corrugated plastic hose, half-built my 2m/70cm/6m antenna, terminated coax in entrance box, grounded entrance box... busy busy!  And Jenn was dealing with lasagna fun with the youth.  I need another day off.  LOL
