Went to the plane today, installed the spark plugs, and it started right up..  Cool, but...
Was it:
Bad gas followed by a flooded engine?
Low battery caused by a possible battery drain (like the always hot radio or engine monitor being left on overnight)
Bad start up procedure?
Today I removed the cover from the engine air inlet and realized that I cant remember specifically removing or replacing it the other day..  was that still in place?  cant possibly have been considering that I removed the upper cowl twice and would have had to stare right at it several times...  Still, I have done dumber things.
A loose CAS connection that is going to jump up an bite me? - this is what really worries me...
 
Will take it easy for the next few hours..
Thanks to everyone for all the help, input, and empathy.
