There were plenty of small adventures to be had during the great weather this past weekend.  Brian kicked off Saturday morning bright and early by flying down to Knoxville in the Texan for breakfast.  Jim Delveau, who's currently in the running for setting a new record for how fast he can burn the first 40 hours off his newly finished RV, joined him as I had a couple other obligations.  From the sound of things, Knoxville had a great breakfast and put on the full dog and pony show... literally - they offered pony rides and had Shelter pets available for adoption in the midst of all the fun. 
Returning to Ames, Brian hung around the airport and visited with a few curious hangar visitors.  Friends Jay & Deb stopped by, and Brian gave Deb her first Stearman ride (sounds like she's hooked).  Now we're nagging Jay more than ever to add an airplane to his large collection of muscle cars.  For more good news, we learned that our hangar neighbor, Christian, just bought a two-seater Pitts (S2A), which we're looking forward to seeing that energetic thing in the air.  Sunday was too windy to fly, but it was a good excuse for some hangar "housekeeping."  Now it's back to the daily office grind and looking forward to the next adventure...
