Journal Notes
- Refuel (mains and tips) and add oil on arrival.
- AME says "excellent shape".
- Comments... Leveled off at 8000 instead of the planned 10,000 ft... better tailwind (20 kts).  Otherwise some cloud but not a bad flight.
- In RW, back to working at home with the sim running at my side.  Love the drone of the engine.  Puppy sleeps while I attend to online meetings, emails, etc.
