It’s a windy day here. The weather clowns on the Internet have been warning of gusts to 60 mph. For maybe ten minutes they upped that to 80 mph, winds that can do damage. They walked that right on back. Those gusts you’re feeling? Don’t worry; they’re within limits.

So then why does my fence suddenly mean something in barcode?
My pool cover tried to take some of my lawn furniture and hide in my pool :-D

It was a very good day for planespotting.
First, a four-engine airliner type in white “nothing to see here” paint.

Then, another four-engine airliner type in red-and-white Virgin livery, with something long and red on the left wing inboard of engines. Googling brought me to Cosmic Girl, a repurposed Jumbo converted to air-launch a purpose-designed small orbital rocket. Branson’s toe in the water of the orbital billionaires’ club.

This but minus rocket. They are possibly getting ready for an imminent launch.

Then I lucked onto an F-16 climbing to a station off a two-engine airliner type. I couldn’t see or exclude a refueling boom.

Then, a contrail (keep in mind that the usual parade of airliners was not generating even transient contrails in the very blue sky, so higher than that) had this at its head. It probably came out of Palmdale and was past the steep-climb phase of ascent. Course was due north.

In this instance, the white says something else, “not military”. This one did not have the two wing sausages.

Finally something I mistook for an airliner, but the oversized T-tail, the high wings with much taper (and no winglets), and the stout fuselage pointed me to a Cretaceous survivor, a Galaxy in the midst of flight test Mecca.

The NASA bird is out of Edwards. It is typical to see a little comma contrail as a U-2 goes through the altitude that contrails happen at.
Look who flew by again! This one definitely has the wing pods. Yesterday’s might have had’em also, but even directly overhead it was small in 15x glass.

In memory of the Bears (very beautiful handmade spoons) I was cooking short ribs tonight & started using this "birch spatula" without thinking. The history behind it is about 20 years ago on a moose hunt I discovered we hadn't brought cooking implements so I made this with a chain saw & then whittled it into final shape with my hunting knife to remove any saw lube.
It still works great (Gin & Tonic for size reference).
