Little by little it's getting lighter for longer.

The on-going storm that impeded lots of important prep work has finally passed.  The heavy equipment operators are trying to get the road to the runway maintained, but it's been Condition 1 out there, so they haven't been able to get out there to work.  Without that road, people can't get to the runway to set up the buildings at Pegasus airfield (that I flew into), or start building the Ice Runway (that I'll fly out from), or fill the fuel tanks, or get power setup, etc...  So we are all glad this storm has passed, finally, and now everyone will be working extra hard to catch up.

This only affects me in that two of my closest friends down here will be those working to catch up.  One is an equipment operator, and the other supervises fuels operations.  So now I'll have to be patient and wait for them to get done catching up so we can catch up with each other and have some fun.

Saturday night was a super fun dance party, we danced non-stop for hours.  One of my favorite things about McMurdo is the dance parties.

Tonight is boot-camp night.  Free working out is another great thing about the Ice.

OK, back to work, it's Monday here, time to get some computers fixed!

Apologies for the boring post.
