Narrative:
We were delayed 2 1/2 hours at yyz due to WX around ord and ny and zle. Saturation. On approach into ord, my new copilot was doing a good job handling the gusts on the approach, and I set the 40 degree flaps and gear down as requested during the approach. On landing, when I am PNF, after I give the 1000 ft callout and scan the airspeed a last time, as I look outside, I move my hand so the back of my hand is touching the front of the spoilers so that I can feel them deploy. On this landing they did not automatically deploy, so I extended them manually with a few seconds of touchdown. It was after clearing the runway that I noticed I had not done 4 items on the mechanical checklist: gear, flaps, spoilers, and annunciator lights. So after parking the plane at gate I decided that I would not be alert enough for an approach into san diego 5 hours later. I tried calling crew tracking but the line was busy. Got through on a crew schedule line and explained my situation. The tracker was understandably not happy, 'what did you say took too long?' 'the toronto turn, I'm too tired to do an approach 5 hours from now.' 'there's been a lot of that happening recently.' 'yes, the WX has been different.' 'of course, it must be the WX -- we'll just have to leave the people there.' I didn't respond to that.

Title: S80 CAPT AFTER DELAYS WX CITES FATIGUE WHEN UNABLE TO CONTINUE SEQUENCE THROUGH ORD.
Narrative: WE WERE DELAYED 2 1/2 HRS AT YYZ DUE TO WX AROUND ORD AND NY AND ZLE. SATURATION. ON APCH INTO ORD, MY NEW COPLT WAS DOING A GOOD JOB HANDLING THE GUSTS ON THE APCH, AND I SET THE 40 DEG FLAPS AND GEAR DOWN AS REQUESTED DURING THE APCH. ON LNDG, WHEN I AM PNF, AFTER I GIVE THE 1000 FT CALLOUT AND SCAN THE AIRSPD A LAST TIME, AS I LOOK OUTSIDE, I MOVE MY HAND SO THE BACK OF MY HAND IS TOUCHING THE FRONT OF THE SPOILERS SO THAT I CAN FEEL THEM DEPLOY. ON THIS LNDG THEY DID NOT AUTOMATICALLY DEPLOY, SO I EXTENDED THEM MANUALLY WITH A FEW SECONDS OF TOUCHDOWN. IT WAS AFTER CLRING THE RWY THAT I NOTICED I HAD NOT DONE 4 ITEMS ON THE MECHANICAL CHKLIST: GEAR, FLAPS, SPOILERS, AND ANNUNCIATOR LIGHTS. SO AFTER PARKING THE PLANE AT GATE I DECIDED THAT I WOULD NOT BE ALERT ENOUGH FOR AN APCH INTO SAN DIEGO 5 HRS LATER. I TRIED CALLING CREW TRACKING BUT THE LINE WAS BUSY. GOT THROUGH ON A CREW SCHEDULE LINE AND EXPLAINED MY SIT. THE TRACKER WAS UNDERSTANDABLY NOT HAPPY, 'WHAT DID YOU SAY TOOK TOO LONG?' 'THE TORONTO TURN, I'M TOO TIRED TO DO AN APCH 5 HRS FROM NOW.' 'THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF THAT HAPPENING RECENTLY.' 'YES, THE WX HAS BEEN DIFFERENT.' 'OF COURSE, IT MUST BE THE WX -- WE'LL JUST HAVE TO LEAVE THE PEOPLE THERE.' I DIDN'T RESPOND TO THAT.
