Another day of indecision! But wait I am going to Woop Woop, no going to go with the Scatman, but no actually to Woop Woop! OMG! How frustrating it is that the weather forecast seems to be all over the shop, it is just the Antarctic way.
It was a max of -40C while we were up there so it was rather difficult to do fine motor skill with your gloves off for long periods or with your gloves on for that matter. Still it was really nice working on the roof of the workshop out in the sun and just great to get another look at the Ice Cap that is the true Antarctica.
Above me excited about being off base again. Below is Nick working on taking down the broken generator.
It was actually good fun doing a little bit of work like this as it was just easy to see progress and have a sense of satisfaction when it all goes together and works! Our ride to and from the Skiway was rather full as we had the AGSO (Air Ground Support Officer) doing some grooming on the skiway that has finished being used for the season, and a couple of free loaders along for the ride. This meant that the helicopter was as full as full both ways. To be fair, they did manage to lend a helping hand to our little project and to the AGSO throughout the course of the afternoon.
There they are the twin 6watt generators to replace the 10watt one that was smashed over last winter! The smaller ones are supposed to be stronger and there is a chance only one will break at a time. Below is the helicopter after it has been tucked in for the night (tied down)!
