Pre-launch preparations

three hgs will be mission ready by the end of today. I'm aiming for Wednesday as the launch day. The three mission leaders will be cravitz, barthel and bell. I've only got pesky little details to wrap up: get the log cards in each hg, fill up the third hg with sample cases. Finally, I'm ready. On the chief willy front, I managed to get a mac mini on ebay for $200, and it should arrive this week. Then I'll get it set up to serve the cbtsa site, and eventually, communicate with the river fleet. As for the rovers, I should have all the gear I need this week. I'm getting the vdip1 from England- thats the thing that will connect the arduino to the phone via usb. There also the USB cable that connects the phone to the mac, and thats in its way too. Basically, by the end of the week, I should be ready to begin those two efforts in earnest.(chief willy underfoot and the earth rovers). No progress on eb1 mobile this week, but thats fine. Time for that later.
