Trying to get my house in order after a conference trip, and acquisition of some new minerals. Important to make notes on each one, and on people met and locations learned about.

Tomorrow's field trip starts before dawn, so I have to have a strong heavy nylon backpack loaded tonight with collecting wrap and plastic bags, a berry clamshell for small delicates, sharpened chisels, tp & pack-it-out ziplocs, etc.

Resuming some health habits after holidays blew them up. Today i'll make a grocery list so I can make veggie soup, etc.
