Well, this covid self quarantine has really not been a problem for Ginny and me. For the last several months we have settled on a routine that works quite well. I go out to the airport and mess around with my friends Monday through Thursday and Saturday. Ginny has several projects she is working on at the house so she keeps herself entertained. I hang out with Ginny on Friday and Sunday. We do our weekly shopping on Friday. Also on Friday and Sunday we cook a very nice lunch, often ending up with yummy leftovers.

Today's photo is of the group trying to perfect some home-made smoke canisters. It isn't easy and we have had some winners and some losers. Although we ground test them quite a bit, it really is necessary to flight test them. We headed over to Anahuac airport a couple weeks ago and did three sets of airborne testing. Here is a YouTube video of one of the tests. We used three cameras to cover it.

What do you call that smoke stuff? I have tried
in vain to find an answer on the Web. Is it
"airplane smoke" or "aircraft smoke" or "flight
smoke" or something else?

It would be cool to learn how the stuff is
emitted from its container.

Yeah. Sometimes I screw up the dates. I fixed it.
