Sorry ive been MIA for a bit, guys. This semester has been kicking my butt. Fluid mechanics sucks, plain and simple. I have decided that if man were meant to work with liquids, he would have given us gills, and we would all be living in the ocean. (JeffY, i now know how you felt about aero stuff when you decided to go to work designing cars). Fortunately, my new job as an undergraduate research assistant for material sciences is excellent, and i am really enjoying my circuits class and mechanics of solids class.

BTW: centercaps still on, havent come off, so still considering them a success. I also have been monitoring the radial position of the bird emblem in relation to a fixed point (i.e. the valve stem), and they havent rotated at all, which is excellent, because it means no radial movement as the wheels turn, which is one of the minor concerns i had (as it would be an indicator of system failure).

Everything else is still going good, whats up with you peeps?

Hey FC!!

I've been MIA for awhile and finally getting an opportunity to play with everyone again. [Smile]

It's much the same as it was, which is a good thing.

Glad to hear that school's going well despite the fluid mechanics class.

My favorite Chicken Dude is back! It's a good thing someone is continuing to study engineering. Without engineers, who would run the trains anyways (besides JeffY that is)? [Eek!]
