John,
Thanks for the excellent documentation of #7's rebuild. I'm glad to see her back in action. She is my favorite...
As you may recall, I applied to work there for this last summer, but we weren't able work out the timing. I've got a pretty hefty workload this quarter at UCSC, but if you guys have any volunteer opportunities I'd still very much love to lend a hand with the rebuilding, maintenance, operations, or whatever maybe a few times a month. I'm sure you guys could use a spare set of hands, and I'd love to help out and learn as much as possible.
Thanks,
Derek Schipper
