The lady who coordinate the visits is out of town until the day before the trip. I will try to contact someone else at the lab to see about the 9:30 start time.

Rick, I would like to go, but don't know if I can. And if it snows on Wed. I know I can't take THursday off because I'll have to be driving around doing double work. Ugh. BUT, If I don't get to go, can someone pick me up 3 CO2 Hagen systems (they were supposed to order more for me this time), and I'm going to try the cherry shrimp again, maybe 6?

Hey, i've been trying to post this for two days, looks like it will work! Martha

I have gotten in touch with the USDA and the later start time is OK. We need to meet at 9:20 in the parking lot of BLDG 302. This is a log cabin off of log road.

We will be meeting Dr. Taylor.

I will try to coordinate an off-site meeting place or car pools tonight.

I can't go tomorrow,at least I don't think I can at this time.   have a fussy client demanding that I look for her plants, and some stuff going on at home that needs attention with Larry. Can someone pick me up 3 CO2 units and some cherry shrimp? I have an Aquarium Center card if you guys need one, Rick, and I could get it to you somehow! I have basketball games tonight til....9:30 probably. Martha
