Chip chop

Well, that's two sonars taken care of. But since something was working... The surface PAR (photosynthetically active radiation) sensor is broken. Actually, one of the wires cracked. But it's not our fault! Yay! We've patched it up so that it's working, but a good strong wind will probably mess it up again. So we have to replace it, as soon as they can fly a new one in to us. That should be today. After that, we have to tie down the cut wires of the Brancker. I got to chip out the ice hole so that we could get to it last night. It didn't take all that long, thankfully we did it this way instead of waiting for chainsaws. Still, a good three foot square hole in the ice takes some effort. Maybe I'll pick up ice-chipper as a weapon proficiency. It's probably too heavy to be useful. Ah well. Today we're just waiting for this sensor, then we're out to finish some things up.
