Maybe Wal-Mart by noon...

Sigh... never mind. I spent 3 hours last night working on flight planning for my Las Cruces/Safford flight. Then I spent an hour getting the plane ready this morning, so everything would be A-okay for my X-C. Then when I was finally all ready to go (90 minutes behind schedule, due to several factors), the engine wouldn't catch and the starter eventually killed the battery. So my choices were walk back to security, sign out a different plane key and start preflighting all over again, or call it quits and come back home. The first option would have put me at least 2 hours behind schedule, and I wouldn't have gotten home until somewhere around 2:30. Option B wound up being the winner.
