AZ1000 Day 6….?
May
2009
The low tire warning light’s cause wasn’t made clear ’til this morning, when the other rear tire was squoshy. Thankfully, the Grand Canyon Garage leaves their air hose out when they’re closed, which they were when we headed south at 6 a.m. Made the airport with only three more stops for pressure.
But ’twas all for naught: our 737 has an overheated friberitzer valve, and it ain’t going anywhere. If we’re lucky we’ll get out on the next bird, but it’s delayed too for mechanical problems… hoping to reach PDX by 11:59 p.m. and terminate this ordeal.
We are SO looking forward to No Alibi.
Footnote: We boarded the plane 3 times (and disembarked 2 times) before finally taking off 7 hours after our flight was supposed to leave. We rolled into PDX at midnight. It’s good to be home.
