I sit here at work waiting for the techs to finish installing wheels on our Thermal Enclosure Door, and Software to start testing the hexapod move program, so I can watch cables on the Test Stand and make sure nothing get’s snagged.  wait… wait… wait…
The duality of my task here and my adrenaline filled body is slightly maddening.  I feel like running up a mountain or jumping out of a plane, and yet here I sit and wait, and write…

I’m in a daze, whether from my headache and lack of sleep or some emotional roller coaster I’m not sure.  Does it matter which?

I had my first actual BES call this morning to recover the body of a 17 year old kid who was climbing on some rocks above S. Boulder Creek last night.
