I'm Never Flying Again
Or at least, that's what it feels like. The weather's still been bad. I thought this afternoon might be a possibility, but with a ceiling that's descending and thunderstorms in San Jose, no thanks.
My next flight is scheduled for Tuesday morning, which will be an even 3 weeks since the last time. Of course another storm system is supposed to come in by then, so let's just say I'm not holding my breath. My girlfriend thinks that this is the beginning of a new Ice Age, which from my perspective would be extremely bad timing. "Can you believe that? I was about to finish my private pilot training, and BAM! Ice Age. Just my luck!"
On the up side, I've been doing lots of visualization exercises. This might be a good opportunity to break some old bad habits, and get into some new good ones! I've already resolved to time every lap around the pattern and write it down, so I get in the habit of noting my time off and my time in. The other things I need work on are taxiing in the wind, and making sure to always use my checklists. I could just go out and taxi around for a while, but I think ground control would get annoyed fast :-)

It's extremely nice of you not to just berate me, seeing as to how you live in Chicago, and you could very easily and truthfully make the argument that I don't know the meaning of the word "weather!" So, thank you :-)
We've actually got snow on all of our low mountains; on Saturday we had freeway closures and a 28-car pileup because of snow (and the fact that people here don't realize that snow and ice are...slippery!).
