Thanks guys!  Yeah, I woke up this morning and the sun seemed a bit brighter this morning. lol Now I get to go home and see the BLUE ANGELS!  Wohoo!  Good timing I'd say, specially since they arrived yesterday!

You may think about taking some time off once you get your PPL.  At least take some time to fully enjoy and take advantage of your new privilege.  I didn't and completely regret it! lol

Anyway, thanks again! :)

Good show!! :) :) :)
You're probably better off having had a few setbacks and surprises on that test- that's just the kind of stuff that leaves complacent pilots out on a limb. Probably the most important thing you've learned on the way to your IFR ticket:  the best laid plans often go awry. ;D
