I'm stuck at the airport...what's new with everyone else!

The flight from Hartford is delayed for some mechanical issue...doesn't sound serious, they said it was flyable, but they need someone to sign off...hopefully I won't miss my connecting flight. Figures...good weather everywhere and there's no delays, but this is a problem!!!!

Actually, they're just looking for a pilot who doesn't mind a few mechanical problems. n/t Scuba Dec 2011 #4

was checking on the cats every day to make sure my old ones with the kidney problems were eating every day...spoke with him once and he said they all came out to greet him when he got there to get their food so I assume Ashley is still sort of friends with the rest...thanks.

I find that airlines and airports are usually fine, but if something at all goes wrong, then everything is messed up...they can't deal with anything that disrupts the routine.

Hang tight and hopefully it will work itself out sooner rather than later.

Have a safe flight!
