Yikes. In other news, the starpower generator quit, and I had to go fuel it up. LOL.

Ah, probably less than a ticket from Ottawa to almost Edmonton. ;)

That's what he gets for flying to Puerto Rico.

Next time just visit the Bronx.

This is exactly why I will never become a pilot. I'm always forgetting stuff and when you're in the air forgetting stuff is.....bad. I guess you could call me a big picture guy, not a detail type.

actually, it is - stupid storm front. LOL. I kept the lights on all day, though. Looks like that $600 generator was not so idiotic, after all.

Fuel isn't the best thing to grape off on the old checklist.

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised to find out that this guy was a "motivated" traveller who is wanted by somebody.
