Howeird can it get?

SO to recap the last two days of field work.... We spent a whole lot of time driving around....A little bit of time standing in corn fields, wheat fields, hay fields, and cow pastures....and a really short amount of time collecting samples. I had one job the first day out, use the post hole diggers. Well, that worked for about a hole and a half. I ended up breaking the handle off clean near the "pincer" end of the diggers. I am not sure what sort of reputation that will get me. Oops! I figured they must have been a damn nice set of diggers too, they had been just fine since some time in the mid-1970's. That is a pretty good run for a set of wooden handles.

I guess I didn't know my own strength or something.

I am going out in the field for about a week starting tomorrow with another researcher. I am looking forward to being out on the road, but I am really going to miss my weekend home with the family. I am pretty sure that I will just take an extra day or two off at the end of next week so I can make sure and spend plenty of time with them.
