I've already been for an hour's walk.

I'm going to continue cleaning the kitchen. And I have an appointment at the employment agency at 12:30pm.

A bit of a scheme has just started to ferment in me noggin, it's come pay-day for me today, and there is something specific I need by ways of certain chemicals, in particular, an adamantane derivative, because I've been wanting to make myself a batch of memantine.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memantine

And I just had a bit of a wizard wheeze, thought, many of the big chinese companies do free samples of merchandise....why not contact them ALL, and get as many free samples as possible and then essentially, be able to run the reaction on a pilot scale for free? a lot of them have minimum orders of 1kg of precursor, so I'm thinking try for 50-100g as a free sample, if I can convince 10 businesses to do that, or 20 if I asked for/got 50g per, then I'd have the kg of precursor I need for free without having to spend a penny.

A little bit naughty of me perhaps, but I'd be telling the truth, it IS for testing on a pilot scale, only thing is, I'm neglecting to mention the fact that a 1kg-scale rxn would last me at least a couple of years.

Might be REALLY cheeky and try and blag myself a liter of free formamide the same way :mischief:

I did catch up on a lot today. And I even took some breaks in between.

Feels good, looks good, smells good.


In the hallway, close to the shoes, I left a teabag filled with ground coffee. I put some staples in the bag to make sure the coffee stays put.

It smells good in my hallway!

Going to buy some crisps and spend the evening watching Netflix. Not much else to do - I'm travelling again.

Got a melting point test to run after I've finished watching something on TV, then depending on the results, either recrystallization of the main batch of what's being sampled and tested or two reductive processes conducted on same, and after, I think I'm going to take apart my seized up rotary vane pump. See if I can't get it working again, I'd sooner be able to repair it, as ATM I'm stuck using a water aspirator, rather than having a decent vacuum line, and this fucker is only really suited for either really low boiling solvents, or for vacuum filtration.

Yeah, I'll talk to my team leader. Although he did buy me a beer today. Denmark isn't all bad.

Today I am going to bake the chicken I have been brining overnight. A couple of hours before time to set it in the oven.

In addition, I intend to binge on Stargate SG1 for a while. Started last night by watching the old movie.
Jimi Hendrix: When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace. 

Ghandi: Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.
