Good for another 6 months

Passed my annual training and checkride and now I'm ready to take on the nasty weather that seems likely to enter north Texas next week. Sounds like Hurricane Rita will be progressing pretty far into Texas and effect much of my route. I'm probably looking at delays, turbulence, heavy rain, lightning, and of course more cursing. Nope, it doesn't sound fun.

Then again, once the bad weather passes, it's such a good feeling knowing that you've plowed ahead against some really bad stuff and accomplished the mission that you were given. Oh, I know my "mission" of delivering overnight air packages probably won't save the world, but it's my mission.

I'll update my travels through Rita as I encounter them. Until then, c-ya.
