I just called the Lockheed FSS for the first time ever for an outlook briefing for tomorrows flight. The man helping me was actually quite helpful. He got me a few forecasts for the Northern Illinois area and explained them quite well. Based on the forecast he gave me, tomorrow will probably be called off. The forecast calls for winds at 13 knots gusting to 26 knots, rain clouds at 4,000 feet, and rain showers in the vicinity of the airport; definitely not good conditions for a student pilot. However, he did also say that the prediction ended at noon tomorrow so there is still a chance! Let’s pray and hope for a nice day tomorrow. Thanks for reading!!!

To be honest, I’m not sure how long I have had TheFlyingToga.com. Sure the domain registration says that I’ve had this site since November 17, 2007 but that’s not when I started to actually blog. Anyway, I started to keep track of site visitors and things like that on January 21, 2008, at 11:01 a.m. (CST). Today has been exactly three months since I have started storing the numbers. Today, April 21, 2008, TheFlyingToga.com has officially logged 10,033 HITS!!! Thank you everyone for supporting the blog. I really do appreciate it. Thanks for all your support and as always, thanks for reading.

As many of you know, because of this stinking weather, my lesson got canceled today. Well, I just couldn’t stay away from the airport. I was looking at my pass lesson bills, when I saw the headset rental rate. I was aware of that I was being charged for it but I did not know how much it was. Even though it was only $2.00 an hour, it got me thinking.
