I'll tell you one thing its always better when we're together
Winter has arrived. Snow drifts around outside. It is just a small flurry, but the bitter wind this morning reminded me that my time running by the lake is about the come to an end. When the winds start blowing, they are especially brutal on the shore. Therefore I must return to my inland route or run north on the shore. North from my place puts a golf course between the shore and the running route. I’ll probably do that. I really like the running path. I like not having to stop for cars. I like having other people running around me. I like to find someone else to set my pace. It rarely happens (as not many people are out at 7 am during the week), but when it does (on the weekend) it is nice.
The arrival of the cold outside coincides with the arrival of cold in my research. In the past week, I have started to use a cyropump (liquid nitrogen) and a dry ice /alcohol bath in effort to remove water vapor from an oxygen stream. It has worked well, and I am pleased with the results. The annoying part is just all the handling of cold things (dry ice, liquid nitrogen). I am continuously cold it seems.
Did mention that I now make raisin bread…by hand. No bread machine for me. Though I am not really sure how a bread machine would put the cinnamon swirl in the bread. Next week I am baking up a storm for Thanksgiving (breads and pies).
I got some beautiful data yesterday.
