Scott has been working lots of overtime with the LDB NASA balloon launches. It's starting to catch up with him though - he came home early today with a scratchy throat :(
These balloons are gigantic! Scott will have to do a posting soon to explain the science part.
I have just transitioned back to days. It's been an extremely bleary last 4 days. Note to self - sleeping pills are not the answer. Ugh. Today I finally feel good again. The days take a bit to get used to. Someone is always watching what you are doing, the radios are always chattering, I have to behave myself and not laugh about inappropriate things quite as much, and mealtimes are overwhelming. But the sun is high in the sky, it is warm outside, and I see old friends I haven't seen in quite a while. All good.

| This is pretty funny because the new vehicle hasn't been very practical after all. |

| You get attached to Ivan over the years. He is an earnest and friendly vehicle. |
