That was a quality rant Kent. Got a question for you, when you were welding did you become certified? Today at work my boss was talking to me about becoming a certified welder. I was curious about what you have to weld for the certification.

How the hell do art majors get such wierd ass ideas and notions?

So I don't even have to take the final in my Electronic Materials class, I have to get a 100% on the final to think about getting an A, so I'm settling for a B, knocks my finals down to one on next wednesday and friday.

Tom, that car is damn sexy. That floor where the car is at is Damn clean considering its in a machine shop with atleast three big Cincinnati's, and what looks like a big endmill in the corner, and I can't see what else.

My brother made some comment the other day about me making him a entertainment center for his flatscreen TV. Needless to say when i'm given free reign over a design it normally goes overboard. I came back to him today with a rough set of plans for a granite inlaid top, oak mainbody w/ walnut inlaid corners. The bad part is that he dosen't want anything that elabroate. I think I've got him down to a birch ply design but still sticking with the walnut inlaid edges. It should look pretty good if he wants me to build it for him. its amazing what one can figure out in physics lecture when its a boring topic...

Are there any 3-way passive component sets with something like an 8" in them?

Thanks for the tip, I'll keep that in mind.

One small problem with Flemming's job, they don't make Astros anymore

I'll be looking forward to them.

Looks pretty darn good.

Welcome, stay awhile.

At work today, one of the assistant professors came in and was talking with me and my brother. He got to looking at the welding I had done on a beam and asked what I was doing this summer. I told him I was bouncing back an forth between here and home working. Then he asked if I wanted to do some welding for him, told him 15 an hour and I'd think about it. Turns out I priced myself to damn cheap cause he wants me to do some welding for him at nights. (I currently get paid 8.50 at one job and 7.00 at another). Made me feel good about my welding though, considering he came in, looked at it and now wants me to weld for him.

Last time I put fuel in my truck (couple weeks ago) I stopped at 50$ and it was only 3/4full....

My roommate is a serious tightass with his money.

Top and out.

were you visiting CA.com? Not this time. I was in a community college class. What is worse? The Community College is more educated for the most part....

Good movie. Time to go hit the shower, than work on more homework/studying.

By the fall I should have a decent setup... I've got some ideas but I want to hear some stuff before I buy anything.

In some areas, in others you need some clearance. Perhaps the acoustic lab where they regularly do acoustic fatigue testing on metal at >180db That would be cool to see.

Yep, in manhattan. If I come down while your at Boeing, think you could swing a behind the scenes look for me??

Just got off the phone with mom, turns out the family dog that I grew up with (~16 years old) died last week.

One of the grad students in the Civil dept. where I work (just got his PhD) said one day that there are no stupid questions, just stupid people that ask them.
