Lunch was #Goodlunch of toasted Turkish bread with smoked salmon, capers, red onion, cottage cheese & avocado but the Saturday snacks after were also nostalgic gold... #cheezles 😋

For the very small % of people that have ever struggled with removing a smeared gold gasket from a #MassSpec flange

I spent hours trying to remove the gasket. The tool & die maker went away, turned down a lathe parting tool to 0.35mm & had that sucker out in 5 mins 🧪⚒️

I am both happy+annoyed

See those 2 thieves?
They are eating MY breakfast!
1 stole my toast as I was about to take a bite.

At least they are sharing, I suppose

I'm looking forward to next weeks' #IAHCongress and catching up with colleagues with whom I've only ever exchanged emails
I don't get out of the lab much so intend to make the most of it

#Melbourne I'm from Qld, can I request no rain and some warm days please plus directions to the shops? 😊

I'm cleaning the top of my bookshelves...

Found this novel from 1976. Blurb says its about a conspiracy to steal the USA Bill of Rights & replace democracy with a police state...

There's no need to read it again

I hope to never ever ever have to service the Valco 6 port valve motor again

Just an appreciation post given all the bad news.

The #USGS and particularly for me, the people in the Reston labs, provide an absolutely invaluable service to the scientific community worldwide. These standards make my life so much easier.

As if we don't have enough problems in the world to worry about

'Mind-boggling stupidity'. Another great article by @squigglyrick.bsky.social

It explains so much of what I'm seeing across the sector.
Tertiary Ed in Australia appears to have lost its way.

I know I post one of these most years, but we've finally hit my favourite time of winter in #Brisbane

No humidity +Exam time=
Tranquility for me.

I've not seen a moorhen waltzing nonchalantly wondering casuallyon top of a 1m hedge before 😊

I now pronounce 'Carbonate season' officially open.
#Brisbane humidity has dropped to a low icicle producing level of 40% 😊

Bring me your forams & carbonates

😝 to my husband, who says I can't math

It's the end of a 30-hour analytical run & there are only 5 slots left in the EA file before it's full & I have 5 samples left to run, plus only 1 hour until 4pm Friday end of work week

I wasn't 💯 of my sums 😁

Time to wine+relax
