Well, since you're the last on this list, I'll go down that story too. It was about a little over a week ago, the cloud report, the ceiling said 9,000 feet and it looked ridiculous. We looked out and went those clouds are not 9,000 feet up. And it was raining and I said we can take off in the rain. He goes yeah, we can fly in the rain, that's not a big deal. And the clouds kept coming down, coming down, coming down. And I got rerouted on the runway. They switched runways. So I got all the way down to the runway and then they made me taxi back all the way to the other side of the runway for a turnaround, which I did. And then I took off and as we're climbing out I said to Jeremiah, my instructor, I said these clouds are not even above pattern altitude and you need to have a certain amount of visibility, a thousand feet of AGL above the runway to be able to do your pattern work or whatever like that. And I said these clouds are not even above altitude. He goes make a left, we'll try to go around him. I made a left, I kept continuing climbing and we were heading into the clouds and he goes my controls, I said your controls. He's instrument rated, I'm not.
