slight turbulence

[jay]

Things are still overall looking well, with a bit of turbulence... despite my car refusing to start this morning and having to be towed to the shop. Which then meant being late to meet LH, then (after LH dropped me at home) had to miss a meeting with SD. OTOH, my NASA Headquarters program manager called me this morning and innocently asked if I'd received the extra $180K in project funds, yet... a pleasant surprise. :)

And we're being asked to bring cardboard and Legos and pieces of wood to the project kick-off meeting next week in Vermont... to make mockups of possible instrument combinations. That sounds like fun... A room full of Army Corps of Engineers folks and NASA and JPL scientists, in a room playing with Legos to make lunar lander models. Heh.

And in Vermont, yet. *whimper* :-)

I would say "boys and their toys", but I'm assuming there will be a few females there, so I'll go with "geeks and their toys".

Have fun!!

But just wait till you try to sort out the Legos at the end!! Seriously, though, I can SO see this. *chuckle* Have fun!

I'm envious. Can we take cardboard, Legos, and pieces of wood to LA, and have those guys mockup their drill?

*hugs*

and appreciations for your ability to do course corrections in the earlier-than-expected turbulence.
