[Dr. Joe Siphek]

did you take these?

[Mel]

Those are sweet pics! If you haven't already, e-mail them to Richard ;)
Try to stay warm!!

And yeah, snowman is actually in antarctica ;)

[TFOGGuys]

Looks like most of 'em could have been taken here this morning...try to stay warm, Snowman! :cold:

[Snowman]

Warm isn’t and issue here. It's -14F today, damn near a heat wave. :fire: Thinking about laying out and getting a tan.

Mel, I haven't sent these out through email. I just have loaded them on the geocites server

[Dr. Joe Siphek]

what in the world are you doing in the south pole. I saw a show about a lady dr that had cancer on one of those trips and had to treat herself. is that basically the same thing?

[Snowman]

Well I don’t have breast cancer, that I know of. But this is the place where the doctor had to treat herself. I’m working down here building the new station

[Dr. Joe Siphek]

Can you say..."shrinkage"

How much cabbage you making while you are down there? If you don't mind me asking?

[Snowman]

The bouns is 16 to 20 percent the first year, after that it goes up to a max of 30

[Mista Black]

dammit!! i've applied for a few jobs in antarctica but no takers...

the company i work for now (Schlumberger - in the oil industry) operates in 80 countries around the world. they have a major tech hub in moscow, russia at the Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas. i have already told them i'm going to be actively seeking a transfer there within a few years time.

[Mel]

Wow, that sunrise pic is sweet...I may have to allow Richard to access CSC so he can see them ;)

[Snowman]

You would do that for him?
Really?

You have to bee the best wife ever to allow you husband access to the internet. :D

Can we push to get him a motorcycle now? :bananna:

[Mista Black]

i think that's pushing it even for a woman as easy going and NICE as Mel....

Abandoned Arch, South Pole Station, Antarctica

[salsashark]

Great pics!

One question though... Is that a frisbee golf basket in the last one?

[Snowman]

Yes it is. the course starts at the pole marker and runs around the station. And the bulldozers are considered a natural hazard.

[Dr. Joe Siphek]

don't the frisbee's shatter if they hit something?

Do you get any Conjugal visits? :lol:

[Snowman]

Na, they hold up pretty well, just don’t lick then or your tongue will get stuck.

[TFOGGuys]

Na, they hold up pretty well, just don’t lick then or your tongue will get stuck.

Which, the frisbees, or the "conjugal visits"? :spit:
