It's been a while
I haven't updated this in a while, we'll see what thoughts I put down today.
Baby
The baby could arrive at any point now, as my wife is technically full term. I've told my bosses and they understand if I just kind of disappear for a week or so (or at least a few days). The nursery is pretty much put together, however we still have quite a bit of other stuff to get done. We need to clear out a space in our bedroom for the cradle to go, though that should happen this evening. I'm sure there are lots of other things that need to happen, but they aren't coming to mind right now.
Snow
I'm getting really tired of it. I don't think I've seen my lawn for over a month now, but I'm not certain about that. Last week it got into the 40s 2 days in a row, and there was still about 6 inches on the lawn after that. It is supposed to warm up tomorrow, Saturday, and Sunday, with Saturday and Sunday getting above freezing. Hopefully that will finish off the driveway and sidewalk which I used the snowblower on last night. The snowblower has worked really well so far this year, which has been very useful. I typically just have to shovel right behind the Camry (so that I can get the car out of the way of the snow blower) and the end of the driveway where the plows make the snow too packed and heavy for the blower. It's a whole lot better than shovelling the entire drive though.
Research
Just broke one of my Ag/AgCl electrodes. This puts me back at least a day (while the epoxy securing the new electrode in place dries), but at least I now know that I'm able to replace the electrodes. Because they are epoxied into place I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to remove the epoxy and broken pieces without damaging the underlying test mount. It appears as though I can. I'll probably come in and work on Saturday because daemon82 is working all day then, so there isn't any real pressing reason to stay at home, especially when I can get incrementally closer to being done.
