Yesterday nothing worth mentioning happened: No power supply interrupt killing pumps, no fire, no explosions. All of our instruments were running fine and I spent my day at the INTA to have a closer look on my data from the trip to Spain. In the evening another BBQ with a lot of beer took place and after midnight 2/3 of our crew decided to change the location to an emptier place to drink most of our beer alone. Today you can really see how much alcohol they consumed...
This morning I decided to sleep a little bit longer than usually and to have a nice breakfast. But my plans got destroyed by a phone call from MoLa: "The AMS is dying, the pumps are going crazy and all values are red!" I left my breakfast alone in our hut (maybe the cockroaches ate it) and rushed to the measurement site to save the AMS. (I had no idea what was broken and how to fix it.(; ) Reanimating the AMS by cleaning the pinhole seems to be successful until now...
Tomorrow and on Monday the Spains celebrate (the saint of the aircrafts or something like this) and all shops are closed, so I had another trip to Huelva to buy some food and wine. Now we are prepared for the next famine. (;
This evening we will have a BBQ at the beach, because the weather is very nice at the moment. I don´t know if the rest of our crew is strong enough for another long evening, we will see.

Saving an AMS is pretty easy, at least most of the times. Try to identify the problem by carefully thinking about it. Same is true for all of MoLas instrumentation. And the most important thing: NEVER PANIK.
Cursing is allowed and helps s a lot, 'cause it helps you to keep frustration low. ;-)
