I doubt my episodes will be as thoughtful and well reasoned as Todd's. :)

Congrats Vince. Post up pictures of the event.

they might be on to python too, i can barely program my alarm clock.

Eric, I believe all are government employees either in USFWS or USGS. Most write in code in R while 30 years ago we used SAS.

Lmao. A "D" for skipping the final, hmmm. Why attend at all? Eric, you are probably the only one here who would read this for fun. AHM uses bayesian hierarchal models to predict population size but survival rate and recovery rates from banding data is used in the integrated population...

I put in a propane Rinnai 3 years ago. I descale it annually. It is great but you do have to wait for the water to get heated and to your faucet. I like it but I might have installed a loop system in a new build. I have a well so not too concerned with wasting water but you do have to wait...

I've been tied up for the last couple of weeks. I'll try to find time to read this thread and see if I can explain Eric's original questions. But it'll be a few days til I can get to back to respond.

Eric, congratulations. I listened while in the workshop today. Good job.

I have taken the train from Anchorage to Denali and on to Fairbanks, the ferry from Ketchikan to Skagway, done fly-in float trips in the Bristol Bay area and Gates of the Arctic and ocean fished out of Seward and Homer. It's a huge state with many opportunities. How much time do you have and...
