My My, I finally found a nice lady that liked flying and look what happened...lol 
Look at the before flight picture on the ground with the 25mph + winds from Texas/Oklahoma blowing her hair around and the next picture showing her sleeping like a baby in rough turbulent air with very light rain the rest of the trip. Not a great day to fly as the air and weather was not that great on this trip.
She fell asleep within 10 minutes into a 2 hour flight and she missed out on everything but the takeoff and the landing.
Ohwell, at least she went with me on the trip across a couple of states to our destination. The returning 2 hour trip back was the same and she fell asleep within 10 minutes again flying her back home. This has never happened to me before with anyone! I used to fall asleep when I was a kid at ages 0-6 while flying with my Dad a few times but not like this.
Question is: does your better half or passengers fall asleep so quickly in your airplane like this?
She told me after landing and getting on the ground that my -6 put her to sleep like getting a massage and it was so soothing / relaxing which confused me but I accepted and I didn't say a thing. I think the Bose headsets with music did some of it to cancel out the other, (rough air) noise, etc.... my guess. I actually got a few laughs out of the flying trip after doing a couple of barrel rolls to see if she would wake and she never raised one eyebrow over the entire flying trip.
She never complained one bit and I'm not either which was fine with me, but it would have been nice to have had some company to visit with on the trip! Glad I have FM /XM. I'm still laughing about the trip the more I think about this as this is maybe,,,, or probably the best thing to have, someone that isn't feeling the rough air, seeing the bad weather, complaining about this or that, radio to loud, all the radio yak / talk with other pilots, whatever. Anyway, just thought I'd share a trip with a new friend.
You never no how a passenger is going to act on a flying trip in an RV.
