Conjunction is over, so it is probably a good time to start a new thread.
I just saw this update from Scott via Twitter QUOTE ('marsroverdriver') Out of solar conjunction & planning to drive Spirit again. Woo-hoo! Come on, little hill-climber, you can do it!

I've been eagerly watching for the much anticipated TPS December Mars Rover Update, assuming it would mention a recent cleaning event if there actually had been one. It just popped up at the Planetary Society's web site a little while ago. I see no mention of a recent cleaning event; only a comment that they are hopefully waiting for one.
Although we didn't hear the good news we were hoping for, as usual, there is a lot of other interesting news contained in the report.
