This, of course, meant the reappearance of Tiny Tim. During our time in the sun we rotated the gondola (or, rather, Nick rotated it and a bunch of people made a show of helping) over wide range of positions to try and calibrate coarse sensors&mdash;rather than just see they work. We also charged the batteries from the solar panels.<\/p>\n<p>Later in the afternoon, after going back inside due to a chance of rain, the Rod of Power was unleashed to rapidly warm the cryostat. The cryostat was removed from the gondola for some internal repairs, and thus almost everything else was also removed from the gondola.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-1913 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='http:\/\/droppingballast.com\/?attachment_id=1915'><img width=\"150\" height=\"100\" src=\"http:\/\/droppingballast.com\/ballast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/img_3873-150x100.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-1915\" srcset=\"http:\/\/droppingballast.com\/ballast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/img_3873-150x100.jpg 150w, http:\/\/droppingballast.com\/ballast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/img_3873-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/droppingballast.com\/ballast\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/img_3873-1024x682.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-1915'>\n\t\t\t\tNatalie really wanted to pose for a picture with Tim.
