ill, but chill

well, yesterday as i went off my shift, i had a total of 10 hours of
sleep for the last 4 days. not enough... i got about 5 last night and
i have a cough and am ill now. but, i am acting chief scientist and
looking for another core site. the last core site i chose was the best
core site yet for the cruise.

the point mag sus equipment is now set up to be manually run. so, it
takes 2 people 3 hours to run a single core section. it normally took
2.5 hours for one person before... since we are short on science crew
on my watch, i am prioritizing core descriptions. it is simply a
better way to spend our time.

ok, back to core site planning and main lab / core description science
managing... i will try not to fall off the stool as i watch the data
accumulate (i have almost passed out twice so far this morning... need
more sleep to get better, but i do not have that luxury right now.. if
i get sicker, i may not have a choice,, hahaha,,, such is life. i can
sleep in a couple weeks)

peace out from the nite shift,,, jay
