The week

Before I head off to Madrid for the weekend, some photos...

Local scenes can catch me up short, like this image of horse training, from across from the campground:


We drilled over 1m this week, with about 50% core recovery... in the background is the Spanish-designed borehole inspection probe.


Drilling makes dust, which contaminates later specimens... unbeknownst to the remote science team, the "lander" is cleaned between each drilling episode:


And every day, we work until 11pm or later... here's a sunset from the hilltop drilling site.


Cottage, car, laundry drying... a home away from home.


Today, I learned how to bring online the backup wireless link, 5km line-of-sight from the mining tower (here) next to the museum, to the drill site.


Off to Madrid in a few minutes... 5pm here still feels like leaving early. ;)

Horses and Spain seem to go together for me for some reason. Maybe an old movie in back of my head or something.

Have a nice weekend, well since I am so late, what's left of it ;)
