Today I got to finish the second 1/2 of my checkride that was delayed several times last week due to bad weather. Well, today wasn't a whole lot better with the gusting and snow showers but I have flown in worse conditions... The examiner said 1 out of 3 people wouldn't have flown today and 1 out of 3 wouldn't have passed based on just weather alone. It feels great to be able to use gps now and be able to look at any other kind of improvements that I want to use.
It has been a lonnnnnngggg haul between raising our kids, running the studio and building one LW here and the others going in Indiana. I was getting to the point that I was going to have to retest the written again for expiration and I wasn't about to pay that again....
So a few weeks ago, and realizing the weather cancellations that could occur - Rich and I were talking and I decided to quite building ( ok slow) and go back and do what I have been ignoring...... I am so happy and am going to sleep good tonight...... I feel like a big stress has been relieved and the joy I have to have been able to perform to standards is truly an accomplishment that has been long in coming. Thank you to some of you that have given words of support and acknowledged just how much work it takes juggling work and flight training. jtm
