LIGO-Hanford Control Room

Beamline electronics cabinets (VME crates)

Testing circuit boards

My rental car on some Hanford road

Arrival back in Rochester (the plane didn't make it all the way to the gate, due to the snow -- or something)

Dear Tobin,

I am sorry for being flaky and not returning your call on Friday night. I hope I can make it up to you, preferably in the exchange of beer (mine) for friendship (yours).

Yours,
Kris

P.S., that last pictures is hilarious. They had to bring the stairway up to the plane, on the back of an ancient Ford pickup? Awesome.

Way cool... for some reason that control center reminds me of the movie War Games.

And what are those red LED clocks counting down to? Kinda scary looking! Or is one of them just GMT?

LIGO control looks super cool. /You is lucky.

It took me a while to recognise you with the dark glasses. I can only imagine they are to protect you from some exotic gamma rays or something.
