    My chief engineer got lost for about 9 hours on his way down.

    He apparently missed a flight, the airport internet was out, his cell phone (with global talk) wasn't working, didn't have phone numbers to call people, and because he missed his shuttle to the observatory, everyone got worried. He missed his shuttle by 7 hours, rented a car and drove to the observatory at night.

    I sure hope I don't miss my flights or my shuttle, I don't want to drive myself there, at least not on my first trip!

    Heya OBC

    This is just a week long trip, we have some engineering nights on the telescope to determine a few critical dimensions for the optics.

    No idea what my schedule looks like for hte next week though, but I depart locally around noon Saturday and land at my destination at 2:30pm on Sunday, then a 3hr drive, observe all night, sleep for 3-5 hours, then meet with some engineers I'm collaborating with, observe a full night again, and perhaps then I can get some more sleep.

    Plenty of time to sleep fifty years from now.
