Hi John, Happy Birthday! Looks like you had a wonderful day yesterday. It was great to see the picture of you in front of your poster.

Couple exciting updates from the field, both of which happened on your birthday: 1. Stampede was plowed all the way to the end of the road! What a great surprise that was--no more snow machine. 2. The tripod fell, and you guessed the right day! The time was 7:39 AST. The winners won't be announced for another week or so because they are still entering the guesses.

We are still shoveling out the fences, but coming close to the end. Today I'll test out the autochamber system at A. I'll keep you posted on our progress. The crew sends good wishes. We all miss you greatly and wish you were here! Sue & the Healy crew

John Wood

You are the best. Thank you for the birthday wishes and the tripod news. The snow news is great! It's nice that everything is out there already. I hope the rest goes smoothly. The poster session went very well. The conference is going well. Thanks for the information and give the crew my best. I wish I were still there!Keep up the good work,
Mr. Wood
