Mike's Feet

Happy Memorial Day from Greenland.  Today has been a red letter day, I have several projects that are almost finished and one instrument that I want to throw from a high flying LC-130.  I spent most of the day working on one instrument that quite frankly I have come to almost loath.  To boot I am having a touch of digestive problems and I am not feeling all that great.

Ok, now that all of this is out of my system, things are going well at Summit Camp.  We had a break from the storm of the last few days and actually warmed up to the point of my being able to work outside for a bit without my coat on.  It didn't last long, maybe 30 minutes, but it was nice.  The one instrument I want to drop kick (I won't because it weighs about 30 lbs) has been on and off the tower three times.  I finally diagnosed the general problem and have asked the manufacturer for suggestions.  At least I have the troubleshooting that far.  Everything down in the "Pit" is coming along nicely.  We are just about ready to turn everything back on for the first time.  Two weeks of solid work and we are almost there.  I will post before and after photos to show everyone the difference we have made down there.

As far as my health goes, I think I am going to turn in early tonight and see if I can sleep some of this off.

One final word:

But the freedom that they fought for, and the country grand they wrought for,
Is their monument to-day, and for aye. -Thomas Dunn English
