Well yesterday was the end of my flight training and the beginning of my flying career. I officially passed my private pilot check ride with flying colors, after which I was presented with the one piece of paper I had been waiting 23 years for. Needless to say the stress leading up to the whole ordeal left me mentally and physically exhausted. So when i got home I threw my clothes in the washer forgetting all about my nice 6 hour old temp certificate sitting snuggly in the pocket. So this morning I opened up the dryer and found what appeared to be an exploded snow globe inside and yet it still didn't hit me. Not until i picked up a little piece and noticed it said "Fed.. Avia.." did i realize the severity of my own stupidity. So i called my instructor (who laughed uncontrollably) and then the examiner and have another one on its way via PDF file. Just figured i share the story and give ya'll a laugh.
