This is important to know and should be on your preflight check list. My 1961 250 has a static port on each side of the plane just ahead of the stabilator. You should check for plugging there by bugs or polish and now your paint. The hole you reference between the door and cowling is a water drain hole for the air inlet just above it that provides cooling air to the radio stack.

Congrats on the flight and breakfast.

You might want to get the Maurice Taylor DVD and watch the pre-flight section - I watch before every BFR as a refresher - always something to learn or re-learn.
