Hello who ever you are, (no really I have no idea who reads this)<\/p>\n

So this morning they launched a Path Finder to test if the float winds have set up, unfortunately I wondered outside just after they released it so I didn’t get the actually launch but got to watch it drift up into there sky. There is always something breath taking about watching a balloon go up, well in that I get thing knot in my stomach going “dear god, I’m going to attach years to something like that, and I have as little control over where it floats as I do over that little path finder.” So yeah, um, breath taking.<\/p>\n

In other news
\nTristan: Ebex is so big, you just would believe how big Ebex is!
\nSome one humoring me: How big is it
\nTristan: Its so big they had to dig a hole, so that when they transfer it from the crane to the boss, they can lower it down far enough to get sufficient clearance for the boss to come in under the crane boom and pick it up….
\nYes I know I can’t tell jokes, but I do love me a good hole! Also the day was warm enough that I hung out watching for 20 minutes while the dug it. I’m still not sure if snow is ideal for digging or really annoying, or a bit of both. Oh look pictures, I’ll be quite now.<\/p>\n

Apologies!<\/strong> Due to some plugin incompatilbilities, Tristan’s photos can no longer be viewed here. Please click here to view on flickr.<\/a><\/p>\n

Hmm, maybe I should go to sleep…
