After getting ready and a late breakfast at 10.30 (it was the “Brunch†routine again), we were ready to head out, when a bear warning was announced. Fresh tracks were found at the Met-Shack and near the gym, and everybody was advised to stay inside. Let’s see how the situation develops. I have checked the possibility to get an armed guard and a BV for sampling at the “Bay†site again, but it won’t be before the end of the week. Planes are scheduled to come in tomorrow and Tuesday, so people are going to be busy.
So I ran standards and samples instead. I do not mind the day at the lab, because I am lagging behind a bit anyway. However, I was not prepared for a lab day and melting samples delayed my measurements further. So I could have made more of the day, but bears usually do not phone ahead.
