What are planets made of?

I'm a geochemist. My main interest is in-situ mass spectrometry, but I have a soft spot in my heart for thermodynamics, poetry, drillers, trees, bicycles, and cosmochemistry.

Wow, summer! We're having -4 degrees F temps with blowing snow, and yesterday (and today?) I had to go out and line out a drill rig for their angle hole.
Glad you can enjoy.
At least you don't have to worry about your drillers getting shitty and stupid from heat exhaustion...
