It's pretty quiet up there too.....

You can check the BOM for CBs [with 3G and a laptop] ,and plan to avoid them, chat with FTDK on skype [ get his opinion about avoiding CBs if you need to!], email the missus with eta, check your bank account , transfer some money, read PPRUNE and post photos , get latest notams &tafs ,lodge fplans/amendments on NAIPS, maintain coms without HF, and VOIP your Airbus Captain mate in Qatar........all the while maintaining a good watch for traffic of course.....and monitoring your panel.

And it's usually as smooth as a baby's bum!!!!!!! 3.5hrs later you're home. And if there is a bit of weather you are usually on top of the benign stuff and you can see the really crappy stuff and compare it with the WX10+/BOM/WZ [wish you had one eh Doc!].
