sauna
Started raining hard.
Sauna no question now.

Ya ain't said much about what kinda sauna it is.
I'm sure it won't work for the 200 degree club.

I got there late and had to raise it from 150F to 175F.
Then 2-3 other guys came later but I went toward bedtime about 1215.
Just a shack next to a near frozen lake. I think 8 men and women is the
mosst I've ever seen in it. We just got the water system workong
Monday.

The amazing thing which happened last night was our camp helo was still
out. It came back during the tail end of the rain, and 15 min. later
the whole camp was socked in via fog. I mean serious lethal flying fog
(a student was killed in another crash a couple years earlier during an
early season survey).

Naw I passed 200f long time ago.
300f is the target some day. Maybe.

Heh, we once played a game by stepping on a floating chunk

the chunk went under water and when it came up, ice crystals would wash
off making the chunk smaller. The last fella split it and went in up to
his waist.

naw, our lake is up to 80 ft. deep.

We probably had some stupid rule like ya had to take a chug of beer
before your turn.
Dirt that had blown onto the ice with the winter's snows soaked up
the heat of the sun and melted holes through the ice.

Deep lake is dark enough.

Approaching 10 PM my time.
Ah, those long days, I miss them.

The sun doesn't set here.


walk on the lake
Amazing how strong those crystals are when locked together, but
pliable too.
You don't need a lot for float, but we are beyond that now.

I haven't actually floated on a chunk of that stuff since I was 12
or so. We came back a couple days later to do it again and the ice was
nearly all gone.
There were lots of small ponds north of the Missouri. The south side
had drainage.

Well that's of interest to the military. The seige of Stalingrad
survived because the Soviets knew how much weight a load truck at
certain spacing required so much ice. Similarly a loaded C-17 only
needs 6 ft. of sea ice to land on it.

You want the country to win right?


We call this the Shackleton period with boats.
I remember the scenes in the movie, pretty wet.

Yeah, those guys didn't think much of falling into the water,
changing clothes and getting into the sack.


75% coverage still, but it was warmer before the rain today.
As long as there are vertical edges, the crystals should be falling.
More holes opening up.

I wouldn't think you have much blowing dirt to cause the holes...

Little blowing dirt. Deep lake.


We can't put the pier out until the ice is gone because it will collide
with the pier.

Sounds like some of your research is in the pond?

Not ours.

> I should shave this evening, too.

How many you got?

How many whats? I'll do it once a week.
Where guys are clueless is how many really cute women are in this camp.
One looks like a young Uma Thurman, and another looks like a shorter,
young Jeri Ryan. To say nothing of a crew who came in today.


So you got amused by the card for all its opposites.
Others got wolverines, PBs, and grizzly bears.

Son and I will be doing something this summer, having decided what
yet. He's never seen the super volcano, I wonder if they have a Yogi
post mark...
I want to go back again in winter also and hope I choose a snowy year.

No Yogi post mark. That's a Hanna-Barbera trade mark I think.
I think you can have customized personalilzed stamps now.



What we saw yesterday included a ptarmigan (in the middle of changing
colors) and a warthog flew along the pipeline at low altitude (they are
holding manevuers in the Arctic).

I got my hardware from Stanford running.
