As of this morning, the code that implements my adaptive multigroup radiation diffusion algorithm is working without obvious errors. This is the algorithm that constitutes the bulk of my thesis. This means that I am now in a position to produce the data needed to complete the thesis and finally get the writing done. And that means that I'll graduate soonish. And THAT means that I'll get a real job out here at the lab... and that means my salary will double.

In celebration of this major milestone on my way to financial freedom, I went out on lunch and bought a road bicycle that I've been looking at for some time. It's a 2004 Specialized Allez Sport Triple. It's in the back of my truck and I haven't gotten to ride it yet. But hopefully, it'll help me get in better shape for mountaineering.

Speaking of which, Robin and I are going to climb Mt. Lindsey (14,042') tomorrow.
