Updates galore. First off, and most important is that on Thursday Bernal & I worked our butts off for 5 ½ hours in the plot and measured 141 trees. To put this in perspective, my first goal of this project was to do 150 trees over two weeks, which amounted to four separate field day. Let’s just say the process sped up through the last 12 weeks (wow, 12 weeks today).

Last few days I’ve been pretty tired in the afternoons, trying to drink more coffee, my super duper cup developed a hairline fracture somewhere and now makes a nice ring of coffee everywhere I put it. It only has to last me three more days, which brings me to the next good news.

This morning I called Delta and got my flight bumped up to Tuesday the 7th as opposed to the 9th. Super excited to get home, I sure can taste it. After taking care of the airplane thing hit the trail to Lindero Sur to measure some inclined tree coordinates. Work was boring and hot, got it done though and put myself one field day away from being really finished.

I’ve been really focused on work and data lately making sure I’m not missing anything. Next couple days will be comprised of the field, the data, and packing. Tomorrow morning I’m heading out early once again to measure the offsets of 16 trees in LEP Primary, then meeting Amanda & Debra at LEP Secondary to measure offsets of 44 trees there. Then it’s donezies.

That’s about all for now. Connecticut in a mere four days from right now, oh boy!
