Holidays, housework and hamming it up
In celebration of the Russian Orthodox Christmas, the Expedition 14 crew
had off-duty days January 6 and 7.
On Sunday, Flight Engineer Mikhail Tyurin, RX3FT, received a 10-minute
VIP call from Patriarch Alexis II of the Russian Orthodox Church.
Despite the days off, the crew conducted its weekly three-hour station
cleaning last Saturday. Flight Engineer Suni Williams, KD5PLB, made the
rounds servicing laptops. She first performed the regular bi-monthly reboot
of a router and file server and the weekly rebooting of all laptops. Commander
Mike Lopez-Alegria, KE5GTK and Williams also continued their weekly food
frequency questionnaires.
Sunday morning Williams conducted a ham radio session with participants
in the Australian Scout Jamboree 2007 at Elmore, Victoria, Australia.
On Monday, she conducted two more sessions - one with the Sherman Elementary
School in Henrietta, N. Y. and the other with the Dilworth Elementary
School in San Jose, Calif
