Grounded - again

 

Ted was worried this would happen. While we were waiting for the fuel cap in Little Rock, a big winter storm system descended on the west coast. Perhaps you’ve heard of it:

Winter storms ahead

Unfortunately, this means icing conditions and other weather-related nastiness between us and home, and with Very Big Mountains between here and there, flying in the little plane is really out of the question.

The system is supposed to last all weekend, so we need to find alternate transportation if we’re to make it back to work on Monday. We ended up scoring up some same-day tickets on US Air, so our current plan is to fly home commercial today, wait out the storm, and return to fly the plane home later in the week.

It’s easy to sit and second-guess the decisions made so far, whether we did the right things… (and let’s face it, it’s Ted who’s doing the second-guessing as pilot in command), but we’re going home so I’m a happy girl. If all goes as planned, we’ll be heading out shortly after noon by way of Phoenix. Keep your fingers crossed.
