Still Grounded

Well, we are past the 14-16 days since I was promised a resolution. Surprise! Here we are 18 days, and no medical. I traded a number of phone calls with the nurse just to find out today they still haven't heard anything from the FAA. They insisted they haven't forgotten about me, but I am no closer to even estimating how long it will be. It could be next week, next month, or even perhaps next year. There doesn't seem to be a way to nail down anybody to a deadline. So, I continue to keep myself engaged by flying virtually and reading all three major online pilot forums:

• Red Board (AOPA) http://forums.aopa.org/index.php
• Purple Board, http://www.purpleboard.net
• Blue Board, Pilots of America, http://www.pilotsofamerica.com

A thanks to Marty, I had primarily been reading Red and Purple and forgot completely about the Blue board.

Anyway, a Happy Birthday to my wife Laura, she turned another year younger on August 12th. I have to work a bit this Saturday morning, but afterwards we are going miniature golfing!

Stay tuned, although it may be a long wait...
