Wet Season and Some Fine Eating

The rest of Tuesday was quite rainy and I spent a bunch of time at the computer polishing up some data, reading some papers and not doing my laundry.  The Yankees game was simply a disaster, but followed by “Weeds” and three episodes of “Entourage.”  Went to bed around 11:00 p.m. and had by far the best sleep of the last three weeks.  I think is was a cooler than average temperature and some accumulated tired.


Got up late-ish today and had a wonderful breakfast of pancakes and over easy eggs.  Lingered ar breakfast chit-chatting until 7:45 p.m.  Sluggishly got ready for the field knowing we’d be heading out to do work two weeks ahead/off of schedule since we had yet to garner permission to core more trees.  Then it dumped and decided not to go out to the field.  Instead we make a heck ton of bags for wood and played with the data thus far.

Around 10:30 a.m. we got approval to take cores, so lined up an afternoon field day.  Lunch was also really good, a garlic fish filet with broccoli.  We geared up and hit the trail for LEPS at 1:00 p.m.  Started coring at 1:40 and got 16 trees done and back to the lab at 4:00.  Some emailing and a coffee break which ran into dinner (barbecue!) and soon enough we’ll be heading to the lounge for the La Selva premiere of Kung Fu Panda.  


ESPN.com has stopped working at La Selva.  This tragedy has put a serious cut into my procrastinating time. 


Joba Chamberlain is boss!
