Cable Splice and Tower disassembly

In September one week we headed up to the LOC for a cable splice that we were going to help with, BUT bobjoe did not raise the counterweight enough so all we ended up doing was rigging the cable and other prep work for them to do the splice the next day.  Also this same week we headed to stowe and got to look at the new lift that they are installing.  It was a good thing to see and they explained all the work that they had to do to make the new lift top drive because the old one was a bottom drive.  We also had to disassemble some tower assemblies which was annoying because of the lack of tools and abundance of student workers.
