True Nick, very true. I thought is was a bit long myself.
Well LZ,
I don't seem to have the time to debate this with you any longer.
The heli's including our instrument trainer have arrived in Miami (supposedly, have to confirm. Been waiting 3 months, darn, got the test passed last JANUARY yet ...) and that means I will begin my last few hours towards getting my time in, polishing up my 180 auto and confined area techniques, flying without the governor on (done before when the robbie didn't have it at all, I don't find it to be a big deal in itself, though the CFI's seem to be wary of it) and my commercial checkride.
That means I'll be in the books, and getting myself prepped for the oral to be given. The oral for me will be an ordeal, though I am ready I seem to still get a case of the jitters come test time, but once through and on to the fun part, the flying, I'm ok.
Getting that accomplished will be much more satisfying for me than to continue to spin round and round with you on excuse after excuse.
Someone here pointed out to me by email that you have dug your own hole, it will be up to you to either fall in further, which is my guess, or climb out of it.
Either way I finally realized in discussing it with this individual that I need not hear you say anything, the facts are plain for everyone to see here. If other threads are continued, the trend will remain whether or not I participate, so I Choose not to, or you could say my flying career does.
So, that said, I need not say more on the subject.
Have a good weekend.
