While the optimist, the pessimist and the realist were arguing about the glass of water… the opportunist drank it.

Flying is dangerous. If you think otherwise, you are new at this sport. Mind the gravity not the gap.

Re: I didn't get to fly today because.......

I spent too much time reading bigrenna's threads and now my planes interior is in a million little pieces.

Re: I didn't get to fly today because.......

I'm in MD and my planes are all tucked away for the winter in northern MN. Besides, I don't relish the idea of having to plow/shovel several feet of snow!!!
Heck, I'm going to Florida tomorrow anyway!! :P

Me too! Alternator belt is back on and she's ready to go.

Whee, we are planning on heading up for breakfast at Logan. Let me know if you are if you come down. Be good to meet you.

It was apparently a complete surprise to maintenance that we were flying our scheduled lines and they had no aircraft available. Contract MX at its finest.

Because my instructor was late with an oil change on another bird in another airport 1.1 hours away. Planned another flight for tomorrow, Cross country KPKB to W22, and get called out to work early and its the only time the damn plane is available on this gorgeous weather weekend we have. Can't win!

Not going to make it. En route weather is a little too iffy and too cold for my daughter to spend that much time in the plane. We've met...at JC...twice :P

Re: I didn't get to fly today because.......

Don't mind me...I knew that! That's what happens when you've been sick and out of it for the better part of the last three weeks. I've found myself making a lot of mental slips this week. Finally feeling better.

Sorry you won't make it. Looks like it should be pretty nice here in the morning...VFR anyway.

Re: I didn't get to fly today because.......

I knew you knew, I just had to rib ya a little. Weather man is saying 40% chance snow and rain between Poky and Preston and 35F. Not the kind of weather I want to fly with my little girl in. Maybe I'll make it next month.

Don't blame you. Looks like you'd have a nice tailwind coming though. Hope she is feeling better. Maybe we'll see you another time.
