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. Japan's a beautiful country.

- In RW, still cold.  Did a run to the bank today and to Lowes.  Me and the pup.  I needed a v-day.  Tomorrow too.  Too much pandemic drowning me.  Need a break.
