Just got back from a trip and reviewing emails. Last year I lost my good "T" shaped temperature probe in a woods near Atlanta. Despite an hour and a half of searching I could not locate the double-stemmed trillium next to a rotting log where the probe was inserted. Since a replacement was charged at $150.00 by the scientific supply house where I had bought it some years earlier, I declined their offering in favor of a good kitchen oven thermometer probe that I got for about $15.00. It works just fine and I could afford it.
