I thought I would share my little saga in here with everybody. It's one of those "It figures" stories.
I was getting pretty psyched up for this weekend. I always like Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends because they are long flying weekends, and on top of that yesterday was my day off so I was looking at 4 solid days of flying!!! yippee!!!!!
Long weekends like this are great for me because I have 2 students training right now, so more days in a row helps get them closer to soloing.
Then along comes Murphy. Thursday morning I started feeling like crap and came up with a really nasty cough. Oh great, long weekend coming up and I'm getting sick. Who did I piss off???? So I went home and went to bed hoping to get over as much of it as I could before Friday morning. I didn't even wake up Friday morning until 10:30 am, so I guess I was sicker than I thought I was. Wake up and take some aspirin and I'm not feeling too bad. There is still 3 flying days left in the weekend, so it might turn out to be a decent weekend. Since I was feeling a bit better my son and I went out and mowed the flying field. Came home and went to bed last night hoping that today would be ok.
Woke up this morning, I didn't feel so great but I knew I'd be ok once I got some Advil in me. But something just didn't feel right. I wandered out of the bedroom and looked out of the window and they leaves on the trees were all hanging horizontal!!!! [X(] The wind was blowing so hard that the leaves couldn't even hand down. Around here it's usually calm at dawn the wind picks up as the day goes on. But not this morning. 38 mph winds when I got up. Crap. No stinking flying. I really pissed somebody off but good. Nothing left to do but go back to bed. sheez.
So that's how I sit right now. Half of a long weekend is shot and I still haven't touched a RC stick yet. And here I sit with all of my planes ready to fly. I was planning on flying all of my planes at least once this weekend, including trim flights on 2 new planes. Sheeez, now I'll consider myself lucky if I just some airtime. [>:]
I guess I need to clean up my lift huh?? I need to figure out whatever RC gods that I've pissed off and render an appropriate sacrifice to them to atone for my sins. [&o][&o][&o]
