How dare life get in the way of flying!

I’ve been waiting for months for good weather so I can go out and get re-acquainted with the sky.  It had gotten to the point where I was resolved to blow off work on the first sunny day.  But wouldn’t you know, today was a sunny day, but I had an important meeting at 10:00am, another one at 1:00pm, and a doctor’s appointment at 3:30pm.  Didn’t leave much of a gap for getting out to fly, especially considering the time it takes to get a plane ready before and put it away afterwards.  Even after the doctor’s appointment, there isn’t much time before the sun goes down, so I went to Best Buy to get my XM radio and iPod adaptor installed.

Tomorrow is supposed to be sunny as well, but there is supposed to be a strong windshear at 2,000 feet.  (I think that’s what Canadian weather briefers refer to that as a low level jet.)  That can mean difficult landings and lots of turbulence.  Not ideal conditions for a fun flight.  But we’ll see.
