Guest Appearances from: Justin Keister, and Dr. Yang

We started the day off by running the Nicole permeameter. Then Nicole collected today's data from the falling head permeameter. Dr. Stonedahl then decided to go frolic in the flowers while Caleb and Nicole were hard at work researching. Unfortunately, our attempts at drying the sand did not work and we are still waiting for the mountain of sand to dry. Nicole finished powerpoint graphics of the PVC pipe permeameters today. She also made more progress on the presentation.

Nicole and Caleb "missing out"

Caleb made more progress on the program. He decided to use a window of twenty-one pixels with a cut off of -1 to determine whether or not it was blue for the simulated picture. He also decided to use a window of twenty-one pixels with a cut off of .05 to determine if the cell is blue in the physical picture.
