Turret unstowed, PM done. No problems except for net outage. ___end___ COMMENT: Wed Jan 12 20:28:37 GMT 2005 Went down to NOAA to check their stuff out. The NOAA crew were on-site, they walked up from the picnic area, too. They were just calling Hilo on their cell phone to have the Hilo staff alert the phone company about the outage and the accessibility. Gate crew also just arrived on foot. They had planned to move the gate uphill a few feet and widen it to allow larger trucks thru. They plan to reschedule the work due to the equipment and supplies being stuck down below and the inhospitable work conditions today. Cold wind is really howling outside. ___end___ MKIV COMMENT: Wed Jan 12 20:39:50 GMT 2005 Centered O1. ___end___ NICE MK4 IMAGE: 1920 NICE CHIP IMAGE: 1920 NICE PICSLIMB IMAGE: 1920 NICE PICSDISC IMAGE: 1919 MKIV COMMENT: Wed Jan 12 22:52:08 GMT 2005 Centered O1. ___end___ **PSPT PROBLEM**: Wed Jan 12 23:38:32 GMT 2005 Crashed at 2205 at 2/3 taking Red data.

I want to get down to the GSA vehicle before things cool off for the day and whatever melt that has occurred today hardens up. I want to try to blaze some tracks in the snow to allow folks to get closer or all the way up here tomorrow--particularly, the phone company guys so that they car re-establish our communication to the outside world ASAP. ___end___ Wed Jan 12 23:50:27 GMT 2005 PICS End Patrol Wed Jan 12 23:50:47 GMT 2005 CHIP End Patrol Wed Jan 12 23:51:16 GMT 2005 MKIV End Patrol Wed Jan 12 23:55:56 GMT 2005 MkIV 18_47.rawmk4 20_04.rawmk4 21_03.rawmk4 22_02.rawmk4 23_00.rawmk4 18_50.rawmk4 20_07.rawmk4 21_06.rawmk4 22_05.rawmk4 23_03.rawmk4 18_53.rawmk4 20_10.rawmk4 21_09.rawmk4 22_08.rawmk4 23_06.rawmk4 18_56.rawmk4 20_13.rawmk4 21_12.rawmk4 22_10.rawmk4 23_09.rawmk4 18_59.rawmk4 20_16.rawmk4 21_15.rawmk4 22_13.rawmk4 23_12.rawmk4 19_02.rawmk4 20_19.rawmk4 21_18.rawmk4 22_16.rawmk4 23_15.rawmk4 19_05.rawmk4 20_22.rawmk4 21_20.rawmk4 22_19.rawmk4 23_18.rawmk4 19_08.rawmk4 20_25.rawmk4 21_23.rawmk4 22_22.rawmk4 23_21.rawmk4 19_11.rawmk4 20_28.rawmk4 21_26.rawmk4 22_25.rawmk4 23_24.rawmk4 19_14.rawmk4 20_30.rawmk4 21_29.rawmk4 22_28.rawmk4 23_27.rawmk4 19_20.rawmk4 20_33.rawmk4 21_32.rawmk4 22_31.rawmk4 23_30.rawmk4 19_27.rawmk4 20_36.rawmk4 21_35.rawmk4 22_34.rawmk4 23_33.rawmk4 19_37.rawmk4 20_39.rawmk4 21_38.rawmk4 22_37.rawmk4 23_36.rawmk4 19_43.rawmk4 20_42.rawmk4 21_41.rawmk4 22_40.rawmk4 23_39.rawmk4 19_46.rawmk4 20_45.rawmk4 21_44.rawmk4 22_43.rawmk4 23_42.rawmk4 19_49.rawmk4 20_48.rawmk4 21_47.rawmk4 22_46.rawmk4 23_44.rawmk4 19_52.rawmk4 20_51.rawmk4 21_50.rawmk4 22_49.rawmk4 23_47.rawmk4 19_55.rawmk4 20_54.rawmk4 21_53.rawmk4 22_52.rawmk4 c19_17.rawmk4 19_58.rawmk4 20_57.rawmk4 21_56.rawmk4 22_55.rawmk4 c19_23.rawmk4 20_01.rawmk4 21_00.rawmk4 21_59.rawmk4 22_57.rawmk4 c19_30.rawmk4
