On Saturday morning, we put the main docks back in.

Before:

After:

I arrived about 20 minutes before anyone else did, and was there for about 1.5 hours after everyone else had left, because there are certain steps to a project like putting the docks in where a person needs to be able to concentrate. I think I might have spent around an hour going through to check and tighten down every loose fastener.

We were able to recruit help from the other clubs who share our boathouse this year, so the project wasn't quite as onerous as last spring, thank goodness. Let's just leave it at that.

Then I had to go in to the lab to record the next pre-lab video because I'd been too tired to work on it on Friday. A couple of my students were in the lab working on a project for their other class, so I managed to pawn off a half-dozen donuts on them from leftovers from dock-in.

Got home late from that.

I typically do my weekly chores on Sunday morning, and then I spent Sunday afternoon getting ready for classes for the week. I also had to go back into the lab Sunday afternoon to sort out crickets for the lab project this week, and wound up chaining that trip together with a trip to the grocery store and Home Despot. Hope Despot didn't have either item I was after (washers for some dock bolts; chalk for marking pavement). What a hassle.

Sunday bled straight into Monday, which concluded with grading keeping me up rather late. So even though Tuesday's lab activities weren't particularly strenuous, they still wore me down.

Now the students have all their crickets set up and will start exercising them tomorrow.
