Hellow this is Ben calling in from Ama Dablam Base camp in the Khuimbu. Its a lovely afternoon and we've just had a rest day here. Did out last fixed rope practice, practicing now vertical ascending on the big boulder at base camp. Looking to head up to the mountain tomorrow if the winds and the weather cooperate which they have been - really lovely at the last week - and we heading up to camp 1 to begin our summit push. Everyone's feeling really good and we had a great time over on Island Peak. Luckily managed to get a nice little weather window and had a lovely summit day over there. We do have fine reception up on the hill so I'll be able to put through a few more dispatches from camp 1 camp 2 and hopefully this summit. All the best guys and stay tuned. Ben from Ama Dablam base camp. Over and out guys.

Sometimes Mike The Janitor's job at Honey Bucket requires him to take his Super Duper Pooper Scooper truck home. Such was the case last night. Here we learn of what happened this time around.

Mike The Janitor shares his state of mind while listening to the band "The Weepies" on his iPod while traveling about in his Super Duper Pooper Scooper.

Happy birthday John. This is the woman who gave birth to you. AKA mom. AKA Jeema(?). Anyway I was trying to think of something clever to say to you and of course I felt that Reesette(?). I'm sitting here with absolutely nothing funny or cooperative and I believe you're in training into your second trimester assuming you're gonna went to 90 and I think you're probably in training in to the best trimester up here by. I do love you and I cannot tell you how much I love you. I think you know how much I love you and I hate to be kept.
