Massive Update - Tons of Pictures
No EVAs for the second day in a row today - the snow melted, but the regolith here on Mars is almost as slippery when it is mud as it is when it is ice, and our suits are too important to expose to such abuse. So I have time to post a whole BUNCH of old pictures that I haven't had time to put up before, from Christmas until now. This post is going to be huge, I apologize ahead of time if you are on dial-up internet access.
12/25/04 - Christmas Celebrations
Opening stockings for Christmas
Christmas dinner...mmm..bright flash though!
12/26/04 - EVA
Standing in front of the Martian flag - ready for and EVA with Nick to take biological samples.
Mmmmmm...soapy..
I survey the Martian landscape, deep in thought as my hyperactive senses absorb everything around me despite the isolation of my suit.
My parents always let me hold the Map on Earth...I guess it really paid off! I talk to Nick on the radio as I guide our EVA to two targets several kilometers apart and seperated by a partially washed out road.
Isaiah proves to Crew 31 that he can dance with a book on his head. Go Isaiah!

Remote Power Module for the Observatory before I repaired it - it was found in a place it did not belong in the Hab in this condition.
Check out the new gold screws! Bling Bling!
