2 July, 2008 ... Flying things (f.t.)

Jerry's Super D (flying thing - f.t.). This is the right side up view. Sometimes it gets upside down. Sometimes I'm in it. And whooo, you think carnival rides are fun... He keeps trying to teach me
stuff. (The longer it takes to learn, the more I get to get upside down). Didn't ride today. Darn, I knew there was something about cooking supper that I didn't like. Boy, it was pretty going over the house just at dark. Cleared to depart...



The butterfly weed finally bloomed in the middle of the parking lot. Had a hard time getting flying things (f.t.) to hold steady for a portrait. It was a little windy, and they were flitting around a lot. Look closely, there's a tiny green bee. Cleared to land...


Fonda's leaded glass dragonfly (f.t.) is about to get overtaken by the elephant ears and the trumpet vine. I did see a hummingbird last week. Hosta's blooming, too, the tall spikey one in front of the planter. Don't land, obstructions...


News-Journal was full of stuff today. Jamie's queen photo on the front page! Grant's 20th class reunion scheduled for 18 & 19 July. And Ben's advertisement, re-election for County Coroner. Readback ok...



Lookie! I have long legs again today! And I even have a foot! (You have to go back a few weeks on the postings to understand this one.) Cleared to taxi as fast as you can walk ...

Was going to fly to Boonville to shoot some more corn fields this morning. Not. Rain. In MO. Rain. In Iowa. Whodathunkit. And look at the pinwheel cloud pattern. That's an odd one. Instrument flight rules, no go...
