Prime Rib

[Slyppt]

Did they ever find the meat that went missing before Christmas?  Or who took it?

Also just wanted to say, awesome job if it was a prank.

Ah, missing meat.

I remember at Palmer late night raids galley and the beautiful steaks... 

I guess the steaks and the woodstove, probably the hot tub too, are gone with Raytheon at the helm.

Actually at Palmer the woodstove is still in place and s is the hot tub.  And you don't have to "raid" the galley at night, there is a section with all kinds of stuff available for after hours, help yourself.

Cool.  Glad to hear it's all there after all these years.  I did two winters there.  Doubtful that I'll ever see it again, or experience it, but good for those who will be in the future to enjoy.

Seeing as you were there, can you guys answer me why Palmer has a reputation for being stuck-up?

In my twp winters, there weren't too many stuck up folks.  17 one year, 21 the next.  We all got on pretty well.  Oh sure, there were some outliers who were full goose nuts (I recall an MD who in particular fit that bill; she was later escorted out of McMurdo).

Summer folks would arrive like locusts.  Much like any Winter over, you just kept your head down, did you gig, then got on the LM Gould and sailed home.  I've heard that summer folks are pretty much prima donnas, but whatever.

Personally I like working with the folks who don't care when the sun goes down.
