Retirement PhD: Article on GaugeCam GRIME2 software accepted in Water Resources Research journal

A Technical Note I submitted about the free, open-source, commercial friendly software I wrote as part of my dissertation research has been accepted for publication by the Water Resources Research journal. As soon as I get a link to the article I will put it up here. Here is the GUI from the software about which the paper is written.

Retirement PhD: Scene of the third research location

I have completed the first two-thirds of my dissertation research and am now well into my final project. The goal is to measure water level in images of a stream where a specially designed target is installed. One of the really fun parts of this project is that we have gotten great pictures of lots of birds and animals in our images. Ducks, deer, bison, raccoon, beaver, herons, etc., etc., etc. The target you see installed in the image above is an early failure in our research effort. That target will be replaced with one that can be seen better under IR lighting at night. It should be in place taking pictures by the middle of this month.

Retirement PhD: Graduation gets pushed out a semester

Just a bookkeeping note. I just finished speaking with my adviser. We decided life would be a lot easier for the both of us if we pushed out my graduation one semester to Spring 2023. I changed the countdown timer to reflect the new date. It will even out the funding for my adviser and give me a little more time to finish the last third of my research and then write and defend my dissertation. All good!

Casa Mexicana 2: Garage demolition progress

Original – Before

This is the before and after of the area that is planned to be the garage with the master bedroom above it. The third image is what the back side of the wall looked like. Actually, it had a full bathroom there previously, but the walls were knocked down before the picture was taken.
