Because Enzo was leaving yesterday (or, rather, early today), we all went to the pub. During the day CSBF test fit their solar panels, which mainly involved loudly squealing with a hand drill while the mounts were modified. And Kyle test fit the new pinhole sun sensor mounts. Finally, like on all clear nights, Natalie and Laura were pointing the telescope and testing the star cameras.

Kyle drilling
He primarily works on EBEX, but as Greg's student he's been doing a couple BLAST-Pol jobs
PSS mount
The little feet are for the new (Spider-like) form factor, and the big circle for the older one.

Some more EBEXers visit for a quick drink after dinner (they were across the street)
BLAST scanning
Just to before the lights were turned off, in a vain attempt to reduce the number of bugs entering the highbay
