I wouldn't worry about reference solutions so much for the TDS meter, from
what people on the KillieTalk list have said. These meters seem to hold
calibration pretty well, and even if you're off by 5 ppm it doesn't much
matter. But yeah, those solutions are not chep.

Creeks around Huntsville are all way high. I visited Mountain Fork of the
Flint River 10 days ago and it was dangerous mid-stream; I still collected a
coupla blackfin darters, including a male in breeding colors. And I continue
to collect blackspot killies (olivaceus, alright!) and orangespot sunfish at
a flooded roadside at Limestone Creek in Greenbrier, Limestone County; the
creek itself is a raging torrent.
