I may have :Bryan Ward" disease

I posted this on the other Forum last nite...
Here is a quote of Bryan's from May when he was going to the V8 Smokey Mountian Rally
Qoute "Well............not sure what to say, but I won't be getting down there to Pigeon Forge. What a day!!! So, first what happened was I missed my flight because I read the itinerary wrong. I thought I left here at 1530 but was supposed to depart at 1030." End Quote
Now for why I believe I have his disease...I booked Wednesday morning to fly to Portland Oregon to spend Friday with Ron and Jennifer at Wildrose Boss Hoss. I would be demoing the 2007 Coupe trike I bought off Ebay in August to make sure all is well with it. Ron did the deal for me as he was 30 miles away. I would fly back Saturday as Sunday was a family dinner here. So all in all a very, very short trip but worth doing anyways as a short visit and 1 day ride around is better than none.
Gwen and I get to the Airport yesterday early...2 1/2 hours before the scheduled time only to find out that my 2:00pm flight was actually a 1:00pm flight and there was no way for me to get on it and no other flight available due to Thanksgiving. I guess on the confirmation where it said 13:00 hours that means 1:00pm... I looked at that time at least 10 times in the 24 hours before the flight and it never dawned on me that it was 2:00 This is the first time Gwen has not checked any of my flight arrangements.
So now I am scrambling to find another nice day to get to Ron's before the weather turns crappy there and I can't ride at all to test the trike. it only has 3,000 miles but I wanted to do a few hours and if anything needed adjusting Ron was ready.
I was not mad when I found out...it is what it is so no sense getting all flustered. I got 100% of the money back as I was within the 24 hour period....I was late to the flight but not late enough that I could not checkin at a kiosk...another 5 minutes and it would have been an $1,100 loss...
Us Canadians love to entertain don't we????
