Fourth Building Aircraft Moves - Restoration staff move the Bell X-1B into the new fourth building at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force on Oct. 13, 2015.
X-1B
(Bell Model 58B)
The X-1B (serial 48-1385) was equipped with aerodynamic heating instrumentation for thermal research (more than 300 thermal probes were installed on its surface). It was similar to the X-1A except for having a slightly different wing. The X-1B was used for high-speed research by the U.S. Air Force starting from October 1954, prior to being transferred to the NACA during January 1955. NACA continued to fly the aircraft until January 1958, when cracks in the fuel tanks forced its grounding. The X-1B completed a total of 27 flights. A notable achievement was the installation of a system of small reaction rockets used for directional control, making the X-1B the first aircraft to fly with this sophisticated control system, later used in the North American X-15. The X-1B is now at the National Museum of the United States Air Force, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base at Dayton, Ohio, where it is displayed in the Museum's Maj. Gen. Albert Boyd and Maj. Gen. Fred Ascani Research and Development Gallery.

So the bruises are from a new exercise class I started last month - pole fitness. I was inspired by a blogger I follow. She was not a small girl, but was strong, also a runner. And she loved pole dancing. So I tried it! I am the oldest in the class, the slowest learner, and I have some health issues that interfere. But the class is so interesting to me, and enjoyable. After each one I feel stronger. And I notice my confidence building with each class. Being OK with the current me - has helped take a lot of pressure off. It has been a fun experiment!

Even as a little boy,
Playing in the siphoned mud,
Amsterdam was filling in the polders with, so it could build a new subdivision...
Even then the feeling of hands grounded in wet dirt was as good as it could get.
Vitamin G (Green and Grounding) draws me daily to feel the earth, pull the odd string of grass, protect a warm by covering it lightly,
And periodically bringing my dirty hands to my nose for a whiff.
