Something possibly marvelous was offered today, but I'm not sure if it can be done.

  Dear little Majesty, I hope it can be worked out.  :hug:

  Today was somewhat less humid, meaning work was somewhat more tolerable.  :thumbup:

I got four fiesta ware cups that read about 3mR/h on my Geiger counter and uranium glass for free at the end of the day that was getting thrown out because the people didn't want to pack it up

  My boss brought me a grape-flavored Powerade Zero!  It kept me hydrated!  :headbang2:

Hm....know anywhere that does an affordable, decent neutron counter?  I've been just itching to try building a cyclotron..but for the sorts of things I'd likely DO with it, I'd certainly need one. Neutron radiation is useful as hell, but has a nasty tendency to make other things radioactive.

I finally made the phone calls for the next step in getting the PR's job training.  Now to wait for everyone to get together, find funding, etc.

Thank you both.

Today was fairly productive. 
I had b'fast with my friend,
Went to call back on the mother of our deceased neighbor.  They are giving us all the unused food and spices (lots and lots and lots of decaf tea, which PA loves to drink),
Rounded up some more stuff and drove to the thrift store with the back seat full,
Washed and dried (one in dryer, one hung on the line) 2 loads of towels,
Grocery shopped,
Fed the family and cat
Etc.
