The Weekend?

Well I will be honest.  The weekend has come much faster than I thought that it would.  Wow.  I have had a good week but a bit busy. 

I spent a good part of the week trying to schedule time to use instruments, track down other instruments that hopefully I can use some day and moving mine and others offices and laboratory instruments. 

It has been good, but today I topped the week off by starting to build a soil drying table out of PVC pipe that took forever to get started on because I didn't have regular PVC cutters, but had to use the hand saw I had.  Argh!  It wasn't to bad, but I had to make about 25 cuts and it took more than an hour with the typically dull blade you find on a saw when you need it.  After a while of breathing fumes I decided that I had had enough for the day and went to order some equipment for my DRI lab. 

I needed to order a thermometer that wasn't filled with mercury so we can be safety compliant in our lab.  It is amazing how many types of thermometers that are available for the typical scientific lab.  I found hundreds and it took a while to get through to what I needed.  Also it was interesting that the company we order through was a terrible website but a great catalog.  That is kind of unusual in our day.

I am heading home now for the weekend.  I hope that all is well there, I am sure it will be my wife is amazing.  She does way better with our two kids than I could.
