Hey Family it's your favorite nomad!
Well i got shipped down to Joplin Mo again and I had a chance to ride down in this little beauty. It was a little cramped in there but a 3.5 hour flight beats the pants off a ten hour drive! For most of the flight we were going about 135mph. We lost time cuz Obama was campaigning in Moline IL so they setup a huge no fly zone. It cost us 45 min going to around.
It was a smooth flight until the very end, the thermal updrafts in Joplin were throwing this little plane around when we came in for a landing! The hardest part was sittting perfectly still for the duration and trying to keep me feet off the pedals for the ailerons!
Me and the boys took in the Boone Coutny Fairs truck and tractor pull! I think I was more excited than they were.
It was pretty sweet these diesels were screaming down the track shooting exhauts and flames like forty feet into the air! It was super loud so we were all wearing earplugs.
I think Jack's earplugs worked a little too well cuz he slept for a good portion of the event even though the stands were rattling from the sound of those machines.
That's all for now hope everyone is happy and healthy!

Oh my gosh; I can’t believe you got to fly in a private plane! You are so posh…too bad you are like 7 ft. tall and barely fit. :)
The fair looks like so much fun!! I am sad that I missed Boone County this year, but I will finally be able to go to Edward’s this fall and get the corn salsa I love!!! (Friday Sept. 9th–plan it if you can)
I also can’t wait to see all the little ones when I come back through! I believe someone has a birthday coming up…
That's hilarious. I can't believe Jack fell asleep.
You look great Brian!
Thanks Jess and I hope I can be home when you come through Katie. I might be in Iowa or on the east coast doing hurricane clean up.
