I now finish up the final tasks and deal with last minute problems before my departure. I have received all the necessary flight information and except for a few errands I have everything ready.
Last minute issues include modifications to a syringe cleaner, which I will use to recondition my SPME fibers, which keeps the GC injector port available for measurements. A more serious challenge is that the order for my snow density gauge was cancelled at the last minute and only after I phoned the supplier to tell him that my gear had not arrived. So I am trying to find other sources – with no luck so far.
I have already an alternative supplier for the waterproof notebooks, but not for the inclinometer and snow density gauge. So I will keep digging in the next couple of days.
