Hello, Monday. I was up late Thursday and Friday nights, which meant I was up late Saturday night, and didn't go to sleep particularly early last night, either. Work won't wait, however, so I needed to get up at a reasonable hour this morning to finish baking bread and to erg.
The erg marathon training program is organized into four-week blocks, where the workload gets progressively larger through the first three weeks, then scales back during the fourth week. This is the beginning of the third week. Two weeks ago, my 'long row' of the week was a 15k. This morning's average, everyday workout was a 15k (albeit structured slightly differently such that it was more difficult).
All of which is to say, I'm tired, and that makes it even harder to work away at this whole 'filming crickets' project. Every day that I fail to film crickets, I lose out on data from anywhere between 3 and 8 individuals, which means I'll probably have to extend this project to additional generations of crickets in August. I could blame myself for not starting it earlier, but that's counterproductive and there are many good reasons why I didn't.
Getting video recording setups to work just right is almost inevitably a finicky process, and in the meantime there are five other time-sensitive projects that aren't moving forward.
