Why I'm NOT Flying Today!

Some folks on FriendFeed asked why I'm not flying today. Drove 30 miles to Marathon Airport. The radar showed a line of broken echoes, but it looked like it would pass through. Untied the airplane, took off the covers, wiped down the wings with an old towel. The clouds kept building. Okay, got on my butt under the belly and kept cleaning. The clouds kept building. Then the lightning. The line stalled and just kept building. Tie her up. Put the covers on. Join the EAA guys in the FBO!
