I had a flight lesson scheduled this evening at another airport close to my house, Solberg-Hunterdon (N51), but it was just canceled due to impending thunderstorms. I guess the real lesson today is that aviation is at the mercy of the weather. How's that for looking on the bright side? The real-real lesson is to use some common sense and schedule lessons for the mornings in the summer to avoid the storms and turbulence, and to also get some cooler, denser air.
This cancellation definitely makes flying feel more like an addiction. I'm not upset that I had to rearrange my work schedule for naught (schedules change, and I'm an adult), but I am upset because I won't get my flying fix in today. The fix that I now realize I've been craving since my first lesson last week. Even worse, I don't know when I'll get it next [hand wringing]; I already have plans this weekend so there's now a desolate wasteland of at least seven (seven!) days that will not involve flying. One of my top priorities in life right now is getting some more lessons scheduled. Or get a flight simulator or an RC plane; even one of those little die-cast models would calm me down right now as I can supply the engine noises.
