New England 2025 Warm Season Banter

Odd question but I've been doing a lot of reading around o this but I can't seem to garner the appropriate solution. 

In a nutshell, I am writing a paper about a severe weather event and in this event there was a multi-region outbreak (from two separate systems). I've crafted several drafts of the paper because I'm trying to find the best method of doing the layout. This paper is an analysis (case study) so it will have 300mb charts, 500mb, 700, 850, etc. 

Anyways, I feel the best course of measure is to break the paper into two main sections, with one focusing on each region. Anyways with that, I would be referencing alot of the same maps twice. For example, 

Let's say that is labeled Figure 5 in my paper

Where I am stuck is this:

1. When talking about this for the first region its labeled as Figure 5

2. When I reference this chart again in the second section, is in best to label it as another figure number, or is it fine to reference back to figure 5.

I am going nuts on this.

Note: All images will be at the end of the paper.

If it’s the same image then yeah, I’d just refer back to the same one.

Perfect, thank you! That's what I was thinking. 

Not sure why I've been beating myself up about this but I've let it stress me out so much that sometimes I'd come close to getting a panic attack and would get light headed

Case studies can tend to have a lot of images to refer to anyway. It doesn’t make sense to me to add the same image twice as different figures.

I assume your choice for this study is the point of having two outbreaks at the same time. So it only makes sense to tie each in with the same maps. Otherwise it would feel like 2 different case studies in 1 paper.

Yeah, one outbreak occurred from northeast CO into SW NE and a second from IA southwest into OH (but each were spawned from a separate system). Each person was assigned a different event so I don't know if everyone got a multi-region event or hell, if I even need to focus on both areas but I'm going to anyways. 

I had initially did my layouts talking about each level and then both regions...but I felt it was leading to a cumbersome mess. So I elected to try going about it doing the analysis separate for each area and it seems to be going much more fluidly.

It's been a while since my last barn update. Still have some trim work to finish up, and the doors have to be made (planning on a naturally stained wood in a chevron pattern), but the painters should be arriving sometime next week. Electrical will be the last problem to tackle, but I think that'll have to wait for spring.

Looks awesome, man.  Love that the windows on the cupola open.

Thanks! Yeah, I originally intended to have them fixed in place, but then I realized I could avoid adding gable vents by just having the the cupola windows open instead. I'm on the lookout for an antique bell to hang in there. My plan is to rig something up to get it to ring on the hour.

After a very long year and a half and just seeing if a full recovery would happen, the recommendation was finally made to go the route of a doggy wheel chair. Ordered last month and got it yesterday!

Dogs adapt, looks good Paulie.

Yes, he adapted quickly. We took the drive to Shelburne Falls yesterday to pick it up and brought him along so they could make any adjustments needed. As soon as he was hooked up to it...he was going wild getting around. When we took him outside today, as soon as he saw it he almost like went right up to it and then turned himself around as if he knew what was going on. 

This is going to be great for him. Hopefully too this will help maybe build up some strengthen in his back legs, though not really sure that will do much at this point. We did a 3rd MRI a couple months back since he kind of regressed over the summer. It revealed the portion of his spine where the stroke occurred is slowly being replaced by fluid (which is preventing the neurons from his brain traveling to his lower extremities). So we took him off prednisone (which he had been on since the winter when we think he had a minor stroke) as it was not working as well anymore.
