Last sunset

  This is an interesting time of year as the days quickly get shorter and shorter. We have a few hours of twilight each day which will soon fade away completely, then the long night begins. I got to go on a trip out to the runway to see the last sunset a few weeks ago. We watched it from the remains of an old aircraft that crashed there forty some years ago. All my photos turned out blurry since my camera does not work well in the cold. I'll try to get some pictures to post later on. 
  There is not too much to report as I've just been working a lot on the 210 remodel. This winter seems to be going by fast. I realized that my week nights seem to follow the same routine: Monday band practice, Tuesday radio show, Wednesday trivia , Thursday American night at Scott base, Friday go to bed early, Saturday laundry, Sunday brunch and work in the wood shop. It's hard to believe mid winter is next month.
  Here are some photos of the last sunset, the 210 project, and some random photos of McMurdo that I took while there was still light.

We have our chop saw set up in a mil van outside due to lack of space and fire danger.

New structural steel and temporary cribbing.

I don't know what goes on in this building, I think the meteorologist works there.
