	Measuring the effects of cardboard tubes on the beam.
	Nick and Matt fill BLAST's jerry can with liquid nitrogen.
	The cold source set up in the LDB highbay.
	BLAST looking out the staging bay door.
	More cardboard tube tests. If we encounter any cardboard tubes in the stratosphere we'll have no trouble removing them in post flight analysis now.
	The primary mirror plug on the table.
	Mark accessories with white tape.
	Improper terminal lug storage.

	Mark takes a picture of BLAST.
	Watching Hercules while doing beam tests.
	Pizza.
	A Rube Goldberg device involving the secondary mirror, some Kevlar thread, a step ladder, a vise, a C-clamp, a scale, a hook, a carabiner, another C-clamp and an aluminum bar.
	Thank You.
	An even more impressive contraption, this one involving two step ladders.
	Beam mapping with BLAST.

	Beam mapping with BLAST. The step ladders hold up the big beam which has a Kevlar thread which is pulling up on the secondary mirror to see if there is any deflection.
	Mark goes up to work on the secondary.
	An eight second exposure of Gaelen setting up the cold source down the road, 100 metres from BLAST at midnight.
	Ditto.
