I left under a solid overcast sky but was looking at puffy cummies lined up to the coast as I got east of Orlando. I called Dave back at Quest and he forwarded my observations to everyone sitting under the tree waiting for something to happen. Later in the day, I called Linda and found out people did fly but that she landed in a dry swamp area and was up to her chin in brush. Um, glad I skipped that!Unlike the uneventful first day of driving, I kept encountering accidents and delays on the the second day. After using some creative "off road driving" to get around a nasty 2 hour backup in New York City I had a front-row seat to a accident on I-684 near the Connecticut border. I had to wait while the state troopers, ambulance, fire trucks, and cleanup crew cleaned up the mess.
I made the doctor's appointment at 9:00 Monday, only to be told that "yep, you should have a CT scan and we'll let you know when that is available". Couldn't that been scheduled over the telephone so I could have flown Saturday? Sigh. Anyway, I had the CT scan and the original mass didn't show up which is really good news. However the CT scan did show a nodule in a lymph gland that will need to be scanned again in the near future to see if it changes, an abnormality in my trachea (which I think might have happened during a flying "incident" a few years ago), and an enlarged thyroid. These are all minor and although I joke that I would have been better off not knowing anything, they are good to know about.
Now I just have to get over a flu "going around" that buried me once I got home and wait for the perpetual rain over New England to leave so I can go flying again.
