We had lots of visitors today, Adrian brought the family, Mary brought us some much needed water, and Brian and gang flew in from many locations and told us to eat at the Thai place at the airport. There were lots of people on site, and it surprisingly did not feel that crowded, but I have to remember to get more hard hats.
The Servo also showed up, and it was like Christmas. I forgot to take pictures, but GD packed the heck out of those crates. I am really into packing material, and these guys really outdid anything in my imagination.
Marius and Daniel toiled in the sun to put together his box- the one that had been taking up space in the lab for months. They even took off the wrapping plastic. It looks like it actually went back together as it was supposed to.
Now on to the next problem. The GD guys spend most of the day trying to install some threaded rods into the ring shield panels that go around the primary. The actual part differed significantly from the original design, so the posts did not at all line up where they were supposed to go.
After trying to place just two of the panels, we figured out what the problems was, and maybe tomorrow we will try out a possible solution involving spherical washers. Stay tuned to see what happens.
And now for the random image in the Bishop Super 8 parking lot-
I thought I had escaped these things when I left the bay area.
