They are here to calibrate our equipment at the lab. We lost the blue truck this week, one of the tracks crapped out on our way back from the lab wednesday, we have been driving the ford everyday, which is insanely high off the ground, but a fun drive. Friday i saw my first fox on the way to the lab. Other animal news, 2 sets of polar bear tracks were sited near the met shack, so we had our first bear warning! The vimy party on friday went great! I think we actually made some money, which is awesome since we were scared we would be owing tradie. Right now there are 120 people on base! So its gonna be a fun couple of weeks with all the new people around. Hopefully the new guys dont win Bingo tonight, i dont want them to ruin my winning streak. In case you were wondering, the fish are great! - Julie
