Not Dead, Just Busy (and going back to the Gulf)

This summer will be known (at least in my memory) by names including the summer of no blogging.  Work has been over the top busy - I did two research cruises around the wellhead in June, and I'm getting ready to go back in a few days for another two weeks to conduct a large assessment survey.  I have been doing a tiny amount of knitting and spinning, and I've also kept up with the exercise program (I've lost 30 lbs).  And for those that like pictures I did get clearance to release 4 (see below) for general consumption.  I hope to get back to regular blogging come September!
