So you can see if that 9.5lbs bass will live to see 10? You have most of the answer, so I am going to let the rest of Furhead Wheelchock out of the bag, er ICM. YSI's EcoSense DO200(Dissolved oxygen/temperature meter) requires calibration close to the temperature of the sample for maximum accuracy. The probe goes into the evacuation stack. The stack is filled with ice and capped. After about an hour the probe stabilizes at 35 F degrees. You may be wondering why such a low calibration temperature? We will be monitoring the D.O. and temperature under the ice of Bremer Pond during the ice cover period of winter. The water temperature should be in the 32 to 42 degree range for most of the winter (we think). You may also ask, “why not just put the probe in a bowl of ice to calibrate it?” There are a some “real” reasons, with the over riding factor being; how much fun would that be?

Dwight is a surrogate for the grad students. Oops, maybe I shouldn't have said that. Not sure that Dwight knew that tidbit. If I had to do the measurements myself, then we'd really be looking for the fully automated, satellite-uplink, gee-whiz type of technology. Seriously, our purpose here will be interesting -- wondering whether the winter temperature and oxygen dynamics will be different than "expected" (e.g., different from a hill pond) because the sand/gravel pit has the ground water movement through it. Hopefully, we can get a Pond Boss story out of Dwight's labor. Subscribe to Pond Boss Magazine From Bob Lusk: Dr. Dave Willis passed away January 13, 2014.

Thanks to your harangue, I went out and bought myself a 10-pack on #2 Charles Leonard pencils (99 cents). Then I drug out the old pencil sharpener from the "valuable stuff that your can't throw away storage bin(OK, then, the basement)" and put a nice point on all 10 of them. The feel of a quality #2 pencil on paper had been lost to me for many years. It is a far more pleasant writing instrument than any mechanical pen. I am now using #2s for everything except signatures on legal documents. I still use the Sharpies for autographs though. People want their autographs to last!

I cannot use mechanical pencils, as I press too hard for them. I have never had a mechanical pencil last longer than 3 days before breaking into many small pieces.

You must match your writing pressure to the correct lead hardness. That and don't throw the pencil just because it gives you an undesirable answer. That last part also applies to computer parts.
