I am struggling to find the time to write the way I used to that really got into the nitty gritty so for the time being I am going to just put some random photos from each day.
Weekly HIIT class in the big gym
Every Tuesday, our carpenter Andrew runs a HIIT class in our big gym. We have steady group of 4-6 that come out to suffer a little bit, try to stay in or get in shape, and try to keep off the 'Freshman 15' that can easily happen to us in our all you can get cafeteria. This week we worked through some criss-cross jacks that felt like Irish dancing, goblet squats, sit ups, push ups, lumber jack swings, kettle bell squat lifts, and tossing the medicine ball.
Rawlynn was kind of enough to get a photo of me in the class doing my best lumberjack swing
The big event of the day was the boarding of all the windows on station because of the science that goes on in the dark of winter. We have some very sensitive cameras that would have their data corrupted by having even a single window unblocked. Everyone is issued head lamps with red lights so that they don't mess up the cameras' data. My view of the geographic pole was good while it lasted.
Given the exacting nature of so much of the science, you might think that we board the windows up with custom blinds or something fancy. Nope. We use cardboard that folks have taken a utility knife too. Lots of them are decorated with fun photos of past friends, dogs, and beautiful places.

Until tomorrow . . . hopefully
