Monday, November 6 – Spent the day attempting to figure out what was going on with the conductivity probe’s calibration coefficient.
Tuesday, November 7 – Chauffeured my parents to take the bus to the airport for their Singapore trip, thus beginning my Home Alone experience (spoiler alert: no bandits, wet or otherwise, and much fewer traps).
