Default Tried to Call it "Runway 7" today...

After all the talk about not using "leading zeros" when making radio calls
referring to runways, I tried my darndest to omit those offending zeros
today.

To my surprise and dismay, my mouth has apparently developed an "autopilot"
mode that seemed to prohibit even the simplest changes to my rote radio
procedures. It literally took me FOUR TRIES to be able to refer to our
Runway 7 as "Runway SEVEN" -- not "Runway ZERO SEVEN."

Dang, you wouldn't think such a minor thing would be so hard to change, but
after saying it one way 5.6 zillion-billion times, I just couldn't seem to
get the words out straight!
