Where's Waldo('s Net)?As it would turn out, acquiring a plankton net to convert into a usable microplastic trawl ended up being considerably more difficult than I anticipated. After ordering the net to be shipped in early June so that I could perform my preliminary samples with my outside mentor in Florida, the net spent another several weeks sitting in an Idaho warehouse. In fact, the net was not even shipped to me until July 13, and it would be another two weeks after that date until I would finally hold it in my hands. So, needless to say, I was on the strugglebus when it came to acquiring this net. Passing the time...In the meantime, I thought that it would be best to gather all of the other supplies on my list, which meant it was time to go to Home Depot. We planned for a 30 minute trip to that wondrous labyrinth of home supplies, turned out it took us almost 2 hours, and I never even got to go and stand in the lamp section (my personal favorite). We successfully found everything that we needed on the list, and as soon as we got back set to work. The net arrives, and it's time to get to work!The net has, at long last, arrived, so we will begin construction tonight! Stay tuned for more information about a YouTube channel I will be trying to start to better caption the construction of the net!
