    Was satisfied with the bluer dye.
blue sand is good sand
    Wrote a program to write parameter files for TProGS.
    Generated more head files using TProGS and MATLAB.
    Worked on setting up the apparatus in the same way the head files were generated.

  1. One great thing is that if we get the nylon mesh tomorrow early enough, we could have good k values tomorrow to run through model before running real test Thursday, since tomorrow is a filling day... timing could be working out.
