I knew that I could almost certainly find a way through between layers, zig-zagging around weather and dealing with the turbulence — I've done it often enough before, sometimes in worse — but I'm thinking that maybe I've used up most of my get-out-of-jail-free cards, and it's time to stop taking a single-engine piston plane places it just doesn't belong.<BR/><BR/>In situations like this, I'm grateful that I can pay to have a professional crew worry about the weather and turbulence for me, while I just sit back and plan my meeting or read a book. I'm sure your passengers feel something along the same lines.
