February 28, 2007: Preparing the T-2 foundation for Shelly
The worksite
The T-2 base
Preparing for debris containment - here a rubber tire blanket
Placing the blanket
A bit of encouragement - with Mickey keeping a careful watch
and a bit of CAT-like encouragement
Placing another blanket
Steel blankets for the top
With Manny doing the fetch and tote
Placing another blanket
Manny and the encourager
Placing it carefully
Under Manny's watchful eyes
Robbie and Mickey - Did anyone ever wonder if Mickey loves explosives?
Blankets in place
Now to position an empty container to constrain the lateral blast
Lifting it
and clearing beneath
More cleanup
and replacing the container barrier
Then back filling
more back fill
and in rolls Dyno Nobel - the Fed Ex of the explosive's world
The blast site
from a different perspective
With cousin Arthur watching
The Hollywood of the explosives world
A last look at the blast stie
And the transmitter with Shelly in the ready position (almost)
