The weather’s beautiful today for just about any activity except flying. The rent clouds scurry across the sky at a breakneck pace as clusters of new petals are swept about by the gusts closer to the ground. No stage check this morning. I should be slightly relieved, and I am, but honestly it’s more because of the certainty of knowing<\/i> than not having the stage check. The wind wasn’t blowing quite as hard when I drove to the airport and there was still some question as to whether we’d fly, but…after preflighting the plane I checked with the lead instructor and we decided the ceiling wasn’t high enough for the kinds of maneuvers we’d be doing. So no stage check, one that I was very much looking forward to having under my belt. But at least I knew<\/i>.<\/p>\n
Didn’t sleep much last night. I took a nap yesterday afternoon, an activity facilitated by the very large lunch David and I shared (he made mashed potatoes; I made chicken fajitas). But I also went for a run last night, which in theory should cancel out the late-night alertness fostered by the nap, but… It still took me a good while to fall asleep, tossing and turning.<\/p>\n
Goals for this week: <\/p>\n
– Write & send prayer letters
\n– Balance checkbook
\n– Have David and Derek sign leases
\n– Start looking for front control arms for the Audi and talk with Jeff about using the compressed air and hydraulic press in the hangar
\n– Re-start Sophie’s World<\/i><\/p>\n
