Wind blowing in from N.W., very cold, temp. around
33°F. Holland & I hurried through the colony work. All
animals doing fine. About to run out of control diet but
expect a shipment tomorrow or the following day.
Traps III A,B & IV A,B go out today. Some snow
fell lightly but didn't stick. Temperature started climbing
toward late afternoon & evening. After the metabolic
cages were finished, Logsdon & I set out the traps.
Lives III A,B appear a little more wet than usual.
A flock of Loaggers are in the area will enhance trapping.
Lives IV A,B are about the same, perhaps their if anything.
Logsdon threw a track on the return trip and we took a
one-bounce off the little freeway to the side. Home

mornings are cold.
