Default This Weather Sucks

Tomorrow I have a scheduled stage check in the morning. Forecasts say it'll rain with cloud deck down to 3500 and lowering in elevation to overcast...argh... I need this stage check in order to continue on with my flight training!

Yeah today is a beautiful day! I was just noticing that while walking to class at Witmer Hall. I wish my stage check was today.

If 5 years at UND taught me anything it's don't trust the weather forecast. I had stage checks cancelled on days forecast to be perfect, and go on days that there was supposed to be a blizzard. It's one of the most frustrating things (along with the screwed up system of assigning/scheduling stage checks) that I have ever encountered in training.

I got most my actual in 323.

And I wish I would have went today, would have been a good time in the soup but a)students are busy or b) students are on stage checks.

My student wants to go late tonight, but there will more than likely be icing.

Damn that's amazing that people are too busy to fly on a day like today. I'd drop everything to get some actual when I was flying. Paid off, I've got about 10 hrs. of actual through 323.
