Good morning hubski!

Things have been kind of dark lately, but this weekend I attempted this "talking about your feelings" thing a little bit and now I feel better? Wild.

I am itching for the weather to get a bit warmer so I can start on some car projects. Unfortunately the ground leading to my semi-heated garage is saturated with water, so all the stuff I do has to be done outside or in an uninsulated barn with a gravel floor which is about as much fun as it sounds.

The survey paper updates progress, but slowly. My advisor submitted another journal paper I've been working on, so hopefully that will get reviewed quickly and not need much in the way of revisions. I'm still waiting to hear if a conference paper we submitted is going to get accepted but I have pretty high hopes for that one. I'm still not entirely sure on the etiquette for posting preprints — am I supposed to wait until it gets accepted/I send in the final revisions or is posting earlier better? Either way I would like to see more stuff end up in preprint servers as I can't see a downside to more widely distributing your work!
