Happy Mother's Day, from Summit Camp. It has been a week since the last post, a week of plane flights, lot's of work and new people on station. But since it is Mother's Day, I want to give a shout out to my mom, I'm sorry I'm missing mother's day this year. I'm thinking of you and hope you have a wonderful day.
During the last week we finally got our Air National Guard flights. On Tuesday we had a flight and then waited for the second flight that was scheduled. No luck, then then scheduled two flights for Wednesday, again only one showed up. On Thursday we finally got the two flights they keep promising us. We were scheduled for 5 flights during this flight period, but we only got 4. We didn't get everything, but it was nice to get freshies (fresh fruit and vegitables) and our gear. Having fresh clothes (more than one change of clothes) has been wonderful.
On the work side of things, we have had some rough patches. The new telescope didn't fit the mounting brackets, it caused us problems with the polarization of the return light from the beam. It has only been in the last 12 hours that we got the problem fixed. We still need to install the new data acquisition hardware, we are hoping to do that Sunday afternoon.
I wish all the Mother's out there a wonderful day.
He is Risen
