Awaiting clearer skies before starting up. ___end___ NOTE BY ALLEN: Tue Jul 31 16:53:50 GMT 2012 Flat tire on the way up mauna loa road today. I managed to hit one of the remaininy potholes that haven't been patched or paved over. ___end___ WEATHER COMMENT: Tue Jul 31 21:30:45 GMT 2012 Rain + hail. ___end___ NOTE BY ALLEN: Wed Aug 1 00:14:48 GMT 2012 Aidan came up and told me that NOAA had canceled their LN2 delivery for this week due to the road paving. Since we can't go for an extra week without a fresh LN2 cylinder I called Steve at Gaspro to confirm that we needed them to deliver tomorrow after the paving was done for the day. He called back later to say that they would be able to deliver the LN2 in the late afternoon and that NOAA had decided to take their delivery as well - so ultimately much ado about nothing. ___end___ WEATHER COMMENT: Wed Aug 1 00:23:05 GMT 2012 Raining quite hard on and off, leaks in the usual places. ___end___ Wed Aug 1 01:47:33 GMT 2012 MkIV
