Another tower Update


This was the day for tower testing according to the manager I had talked to 3 weeks ago. She said that it would be about the 22nd but don't write that in stone.

Went up late in the afternoon and sure enough the Ontera tech had just left according to the workers that were installing the last two dishes. You could have knocked me down with a feather. He will be back again tomorrow. The two remaining dishes will be pointed at Shining Tree but will have no effect on what happens here. The tech I talked to said the system looks pretty well good to go. We may have lift off in June yet.

Lots of lupines coming up now, the lilacs are just about finished and the iris are just starting.

What a great photo-and "knocked me down with a feather", isn't great to have expectations met?

Brook,
With the heat wave we are having and knowing how much Bill hates the heat..I don't think it would take much to knock him down...a feather may even be too much of a weapon!
