Yesterday's birthday photos

Today... I gave my team most of the morning off, sleeping in. We finally began around lunchtime. I met KMB at the runway... she was excited and pleased. We successfully drilled hands-off for over three hours today, meeting one requirement. And discovered and recovered from our third fault while drilling, which met another. KMB was pleased with our work, and gave an after-dinner talk.
