Because today it was a 30 degree X-wind gusting to 25 kts. Too much for me at this time. Maybe in another 10 - 15 hours... Might be good flying weather tomorrow after work. We'll see.

Look in the wheel well and at first all looks OK. Closer look reveals a drop of fluid on the connector to the 90 on the bottom of the master cylinder. Put a wrench on it and it is loose. Tightened it.
