So I am getting close. Basically have 3 hour of checkride prep. My CFII has a lot of vacation for past month and haven’t been able to get done. Will probably get done in next two weeks. My plan was to have IFR by now. But I have gotten lucky with flight planning with family so far with reasonable weather...until now.

I told my wife “as a gift” I’ll fly the kids down to ocnj while she drives down with her mom. I’d stay for a day or two and fly back and she would stay for the week. For day off of work to go on short notice. Weather east coast just were low ceilings. Forecast for my departure window. So I had to drive the 3.5 hours. Instead of fly the 50 min...grrrr. Would have been an easy IMC trip. Pop over the clouds and do the VOR approach to 26N. Smooth as silk. I know some guys that would scud run it @1000AGL and get down. But with fam on board I loose the engine I’m porked at that elevation.
Bummer. Not looking forward to another 3.5 hour drive home through Philly within 24 hours!!
Only strengthens my resolve!!
