Damn dorms move in tomorrow-saturday so today is the last day of it being a somewhat sane town.

Back hurts. Popped pills and they aren't helping.

Wish I could say that. T -3.5hrs till beer drinking.

People are stupid.

I wish it was raining here. Chance of it later this afternoon/evening though.

That is bullshit - I hope they are caught and their fingers are cut off. Sounds like a fitting punishment. and their toes Just a few toes off of each foot, but not the same toes so they have trouble walking.

Left a message with the guy from MTS that is suppose to handle the K-state stuff. Gonna need him to put together a quote, and we won't even use MTS gear since it'll be a crap ton more expensive since the oil in this turret press is a different viscosity and their servos won't work with it and they don't like to do 1-way cylinders anyway.

Got a call back from Forney, left a message with Instron, and now to call MTS and have them tell me they don't do what I want to do...

That is bullshit - I hope they are caught and their fingers are cut off. Sounds like a fitting punishment.

Yep, I'll know more once they are actually in the dash. I still haven't quite figured out how I'm going to do it yet though. Really don't want to cut the dash pad up and not sure there is really to much room in the vents up there. Figuring on putting them up in the corners (but not to far up in there), cutting a hole for them but mounting them up underneath the dash depending on where I can find room for them. I also have that damn airbag to work around too. I can make a trim piece so the hole in the dash doesn't bad at all but still not sure about cutting it up. But what the hell.

Sean: Any companies besides Instron and MTS do the revamping of hydraulic actuator testing gear?

MLI-6.5's and Fostex FF85k's for my front stage and no substage yet or in the immediate future.

HU, amps, and some other toys from Ryan1.

on toys getting here tomorrow.

I'm glad you were selling Ryan.

Definition of a brain fart: When you forget how many decimal points a P-3500 reader knocks off of a load cell and you are reading 240 and you think it is 24,000lbs when it really is 240,000lbs on a 200,000lb load cell. Thanks to one of the grad students for that. There is a 50% overload factor on them so it didn't yield it which would have been a 10,000$ oops.

T-2hrs.

Going out again thursday night with Maggie, and hell she wants to go play pool, hell of a winner.

Hello paying off some debt.

for pay raises.

I'm rather happy to break a 105 in bowling...

Bowling Top!

I'd much rather throw lead at bowling pins than a bowling ball.

I completely suck at bowling, I try to stay away from that game..

Yea, didn't have time when I was up there last to see if they give tours, but they are really close to you. I don't know about tours, but aparently they have one of the mid wests finest outdoor ranges and you can just swing in if you need some gun smithing there and they hook you up. Nice! I'll have to remember that next time I'm up in that area.
