Journal Notes
- Refuel (mains) and add oil on arrival.
- AME says "excellent shape" once we buffed up the plugs and adjusted the tach.
- Comments... Nice flight. Bumpy on the way out, nice on the way in. Cool bridge across the bay on arrival.
- In RW, colder (-12C) and snowy outside.  Spring is coming soon though.  COVID-19 still killing folks.  Not cool.  Brought the truck in for service.  Asked them for a wash too.
