Well I've just returned into cyberspace after a 30 hour power cut.
Power still cutting out intermittently.

Thanks to the "2 pilots" thread I did not go out on Sunday morning.
You might not recall but I stated that until that thread cropped up I was considering a trip on Sunday if another pilot was up for it but not on my own.

Another guy was thinking the same and phoned me on Sunday at 8am to arrange a departure time. Aware of our discussions I expressed my doubts.
He replied that although the wind was 25Kts it was "down the slot" at our home base and we could sort things out between us.
I reminded him that there was a "mega depression" trucking over and the wind would pdobably increase and veer but he was quite welcome to go for it himself and that was the way we should both look at it.

Neither of us flew.
