6pm. Still the DAME project lead. Multiple trips to Polar Shelf and satellite calls from Devon Island, and we haven't budged from Resolute. Currently the HMP camp runway has good visibility and ceilings, but gale-force crosswinds... it is supposed to improve through early morning, and we are at the top of the queue, so hopefully we'll get three or four flights tomorrow and be back on track.
I pay much more attention to weather, naturally, when trying to work outdoors. Most of the year, I scarcely pay attention... in California, it varies little, day-to-day. Here, it controls *everything*. Still 39F and windy, outside. Hard to tell, looking outside, because there's no plant life to sway.
Our first flight Monday will be cargo -- our camp is running out of food, and needs propane for the kitchen and heating the CSA greenhouse. Then the Honeybee drill crates, two people, and more cargo. Then the third flight will be people-only, with ten passengers and their camping gear, and the fourth will bring over more food and propane and folding chairs and ATV parts...
This afternoon... my highlights were meeting the new Polar Shelf managers with Pascal, an IM chat with

dawnd and VS's homemade masala tea, which the kitchen staff allowed him to create using local materials. And a nap...
