jayI'm back online... sitting in a tent on Devon Island, covered waist down in mud splatters. Where I stretched my team today, maybe not to their limits, but more than they thought they could do. I'm proud of them.
The site is chosen, tents up, drill in place. Despite wind and rain and snow last night, and then a terrible traverse today... good weather, but the humvee got stuck *twice* and we had to slip around in the mud each time and dig trenches and winch it out using deadfall anchoring. And my group didn't complain, there in the mud, or working until 10pm before we finally got back to camp for dinner, doubled-up on ATVs because one ATV died in the field and we had to leave the humvee at the drillsite.
I am *so* tired... and my feet are cold, and face is windburned... but happy. I like making things happen. Today, I looked up at the tent and drill going up, despite the obstacles, and felt a warm glow despite the cold.
And tonight we got communications up (grin)
