10:09 am: Starting now with the ms at 416 pages long, and I
will finish up Dorsal rib D. I left off at the capitulum last Tuesday.
IL showed me where Jane’s gastralia are stored – more to
describe! The latest last thing I need to do!
IL and WI brought down the rest of the ribs from the right
side, which includes the longest preserved rib and the last rib of the series.
11:28: at the osteological correlates for muscles on rib D;
a quick break to head up to the soda machine.
11:32: Back with a Doc 360 in hand to hold me until lunch.
12:04: Done with rib D!
12:09: Whoops - I just found the proximal end of rib D from
the right side! It’ll help clear up a few details not seen on the left.
12:13: I just identified one of the new ribs from the right
side of the mount as preceding Dorsal ribs C and D, which I have just changed
to ribs D and E, respectively.
12:15-1:05: Lunch. Back to rib E.
1:48: What I thought was the right side of Rib E is actually
the new rib D! Now E is F!
1:56: MW crashed again, dammit! It happened when I attempted
to paste in a few headings that I copied; some moments before I successfully
copied and pasted a couple of sentences; luckily, nothing lost. What hurts the
most is the time lost – every minute counts since I’m out here only once a week
for not many hours.
2:24: a brief break to sort out the sequence of ribs. Back
to the ms – the damn MW just crashed again when I copied a few lines of
headings. This is no advertisement for the glitchy software; I’m not impressed -
more wasted time.
2:39: back up and running; time to make sure the labeling of
dorsal ribs in the text matches the labels on the actual bones that I have set
out on the table.
2:44: ribs double-checked and corresponding labels now
match. Back to dorsal rib E! After that is C, G, and H!
3:33-3:57: Chat with IL.
4:26: completed rib E; now, on to rib G!
4:55: Time to wrap up; I reached the capitulum of rib G!
After that, ribs C and H!
