Afternoon doings: Nothing from the pass today, the CDoT cams are stuck at 1348 MDT. This is the second time that I have seen a guided tour being done of the yard. Looks like one of the Friends acting as docent.

I keep hearing high pressure air on the tipple cams. They must be testing the sand system in the sand house. Too bad we cannot see down there.
