these 8 planes made several loops of the area today. And yesterday we got buzzed by two old army planes
but did not have time for pics

Jeff-

You realize that we might have top secret photos on the forum now.

I've noticed a lot of military "action" in the sky in recent months.

I found out these and many more that flew by are headed to Oshkosh, Wis air show

 

[dschwandt]

Oshkosh for sure. Had some fly over our place the other day also. Can you imagine what it must have been like during the war when these formations, huge ones too, would be the norm all across the country!!??

We visited FiFi, the only flying B-29 while she was in Cedar Rapids last week. Her mate, a B-24, was at Ankeny, IA same time. I'll bet they are both in WI this week. Heck, for $1500 big ones, you could have ridden up front!! These 2 planes are owned by the Collings Foundation and are part of the Commemorative Air Force Formerly known as the Confederate Air Force (stupid PC crowd!!)

What an awesome responsibillity to be in charg and piloting one of thse magnificent aircraft.

Thanks Angel and David my youngest daughter Hailey likes taking pictures and takes most of ours.

When she was taking them I was telling her to imagine if you where an enemy on the ground or a single one in the air they would be pretty intimidating...

We had to do some tattooing of our registered goats here is a few pictures the Nubians get their ears done and our LaMonchas get their tails done.

Purple Cone Flower.

This doe has been hanging around the area. She has a fawn but it was hidden when I snapped this photo of her out of the car window.

Bee Balm and moth.

Rain gauge from a July 12-13, 2012 rain event.

 

[kmcconaughey]

Just for fun we took a bad hard drive apart here at work and I decided to take some photos of it. This one is my favorite.

 

[memorgan]

Your a lucky man Kraig, would love to see that in our gauge here in southern Iowa

 

[kmcconaughey]

Here's a crumby photo of the fawn that belongs to the doe in the photo I posted earlier.

 

[kmcconaughey]

Mick, I figured I would post that for all the people in the drought stricken areas. Not to taunt you but to give you hope.

It has rained so much here that I can't get anything done, been spending most of my time mowing my lawn and my mom's lawn. But I'm not going to complain because this is better than the alternative...

Raspberries sure grow aggressively! I better move the AC 620 pretty soon or it's going to disappear.
