Man, am I getting old...

I check the weather channel...
Phone call a couple of AWOS along the route of my flight..
If things look like a go, I go to the airport and call flight service
and get a briefer... I get a full briefing and file the flight plan
with him...
Then I preflight the bird, fold the Howie Keefe charts to the proper
pages, and go...
My XM weather is the plexiglass in front of me...
My alternate routing is the nearest airport...
My alternate flight plan is the nearest airport...
yes, I do have moving map GPS, I'm not completely stuck in the buggy
whip era...
I keep moving forward unless I don't like what I see, then I land...
I complete 99% of my flights as filed...
