5 hours in T1 on Day 5, no joke.



So we finally, finally got all the HV cables out of T1. I spent 5 hours on the azimuth mount pulling cables there.
About 4 hours in I was freaking out.


After they were all pulled out, the tower looked like this:



Someone was moving T2, so I grabbed another beauty shot...



At which point the sky exploded soaking Bob, Ben, Skippy and I in what was described as 'monsoon weather'.



Oh, I got to sit inside the giant crane, and found a funny warning label.




At night, we drove John into Tucson (as his contract was through) and had supper at a pizza place David really likes. A tram car went by, I thought it was pretty nifty, so I spent an hour faffing about with the low light settings on my camera, before it stopped for long enough for me to get a good shot.






Tomorrow, we're going to hit up the Titan-II museum and the Air and Space museum. I have Sunday and maybe even Monday off. Too bad I'm not allowed to drive.
