2014A…28 Days Later: No Led in Our Zeppelin – Extreme Wavefront Control Lab

Today Laird got up at 8am while Jared and I went to bed after our Last Star last night. Laird and the crew took down the ASM, then Laird and Jared de-cabled the NAS and I de-cabled Clio with their help. Here are some pictures:

Shiny — Jared peering through the optics

Its so loud it shakes your organs — Turning off the Clio pump in the scary loud pump room

That's me in my ND sweatshirt — The tunnel by the scary loud pump room.

Why did it have to be snakes? — Jared feeds the anaconda through to Laird, who catches it in the snake pit below

I hate snakes! — Laird in the snake pit. Left: the view from beneath the NAS. Right: The view through the hole from on the NAS platform.

All uncabled! — Jared and Laird posing by the NAS

Laird wishes he could show you how he really feels — Jared shows us how he really feels

Actuating? — Povilas works on the M1 mirror.

Also it wasn't our breakfast any more! — Tonight’s dinner was delicious – stuffed tomatoes, sliced potatoes, and salmon with a cream/shrimp sauce

Grumpy, Mizz Vizz, and Baby Vizzy — It was a rare 3-vizcacha day at the clean room today.

The song of the day is inspired by the film 28 Days Later. We hope when we get back to Tucson, it isn’t a post-apocalyptic wasteland with everyone crazy party-rocking and/or our loved ones turned into zombies. Still, should the need arise, we are ready to party rock.
