  I mixed a harmless salt in water (called a tracer, because it’s easy to detect), and injected it into the ground. Then i used a huge pneumatic drill with a special geophysics tool (measuring resistivity) to chase down where the salt was moving before it diluted too much to find.
  Its called a Tracer Test, and it’s pretty common for characterizing aquifers. What made my test unique was proving the usefulness of a geophysics tool to chase down the changes in geochemistry.

  Faster, more responsive than installing a network of monitoring wells ahead of time.

  I’ve now told you enough that i may have absolutely given my identity away.
  Grad level science is a much smaller world than you might think.

  Looks great.
  My strategy with honeys is: blanch in boiling water for 5 mins, drain, slice, the dry fry (or dry saute) for at least 5 more mins. Kind of crunchy after cooked. Not my favorite, but good enough. 2nd tier, maybe. And when you find them, they tend to be pretty abundant.

  I'm a little jealous, I have had a very non-existent mushy year. Just too dry. ☹️

  Ok, good point, I don't love the crystals people.
