What do we have to do around here to get some decent weather? Monday dawned clear, sunny and very cold. I happily booked a couple of hours off work and practically skipped to the airport. As soon as I stepped out of the van I realized that something had changed during the 10 minute drive from home to the airport. It was suddenly very windy. Windy as in 15-20 mph with gusts almost 30.
I went into the classroom area and immediately noticed that Carl was sitting behind a huge pile of books. Guess what? No flying today...too windy. Let's do some groundwork instead. I wanted to stamp my feet and whine like a 2-year-old. I have spend countless hours in the books over that past semester and now I WANT TO FLY!!!
Carl said that nothing worthwhile could be accomplished today with the wind so, after two hours of bookwork, I headed back to work. To protest, I refused to answer my phone or any emails for the rest of the day. I read flying blogs and planned my revenge. Not sure what that revenge will be...but it's gonna be good! I'm not even sure how you get revenge on the weather but somebody is going to pay. My first full month of flight training and I have an amazing 2.2 hrs in my logbook. At this rate it will take me over two YEARS to get my licence. Actually, at this rate I will never get my licence because my dying brain cells require me to pretty much re-learn anything after I've been away from it for a week.
I guess one positive is my flying account hasn't been hurt much. Small consolation. We will try again on Monday. Until then...
Let's go flying! (Or I'm going to hold my breath until I pass out!)
We are scheduled to meet
