The four meter dome was frozen in place today.  Simple stuff, really.  Rig up a few come-alongs, apply a couple of thousands of foot pounds of force, THEN turn the motors on.  Easy.  Of course, our vehicles outside got buried by the tons of snow and ice that fell off the dome, but you can't have everything.

Where did you move Tuscon to now?

Fortunately, there has been a lack of sword based crime in the area, so I should be good.

I am really, really digging being on break. This weekend was GREAT, and today is my first day with no tasks on my to-do list (other than submit my time sheet, which is just clicking a button).

Just relaxing and puttering around and making plans for the house is something I haven't done since I have no idea when. It's marvelous. I had a moment of stress when I realized that I paid my credit cards twice (and had a third payment scheduled for next week) but then I realized that I can just buy my shit with the credit cards and it comes out even.

I think today I might read a book and do some laundry.

FUCK YEAH, BREAK!

I run facilities at the Kitt Peak Observatory Complex.  It's Science Heaven, and you can freeze to death in the desert sun (20F today, with 80 MPH winds, still got a bit of sunburn).

Today, we had many cold weather breakdowns, but I am Maintenance Jesus, and me and my 15 Apostles got things going at least well enough to maintain operations for the night.  But no elevators, the astronomers can use the exercise.

Sounds like an amazing job, but it also sounds like Arizona has the worst climate ever.

You of all people deserve to enjoy a break!

Roger, it occurs to me that you must have a very interesting commute. Or do you, like, stay onsite for a few days at a time?

4chan community is going well. Thread has been up for a few days and there's already a few people memebombing. It's cute.

That actually is kinda cute.

..It should be 'affecting' rather than 'effecting' in the OP though.  :wink:
And a pastebin of links would be good if /discg/ lasts more than one iteration.

20 minute drive to the university, get on shuttle, fall asleep for an hour and a half, and I'm at work.  Magic.

Today I sat on a 6" wide icy gantry at the top of the solar telescope, which extends over the side of the mountain, working on a storm-damaged robot.  Between my feet, I could see the ground.  Between me and the ground, there were clouds.  It was 18F.

I later calculated that if I fell, it would take 12 seconds for me to reach the ground.
