Just took a picture of that with my phone and sent it to my buddy who is a ford lover.

Fronty, are you an engineer?

Only problem with that truck is that there are no steps and fat girls cant jump.





Were is everybody? I can understand that half of us have jobs and are busy but the other half of you guys are retired old people with nothing to do.

Fronty Owner

yea, why?

maybe its to keep the short fat ones out.. the big fat ones can just waddle up on the tailgate...

Just curious, what kind, I'm going to school to be a Mechanical as we speak(suppose to be writing a research paper on internal combustion engine pistons).


Exciting news for the day (for me atleast), I got a formal offer from Case New Holland about ten minutes ago to take a Internship with them for the next 12 months.

Fronty Owner

Started as a mechanical, but over the last 4 years, Ive been pushed more into the control systems.

Mechanical is a good do all profession. Just too many choices so you end up specializing if you want to or not.

You going power generation, machines, pressure vessels,

Purplezr2

Machines would be my area, love equipment(big or small). I worked for ten years turning wrenches for a golf course and doing farm work growing up. I have worked as a design intern for bobcat, the major project I worked on should be released in a the next year I would assume. I took a position with Case as a manufacturing engineer(trying to make myself more rounded). Would like to try a position in Test/Quality as its alittle more hands on.

Evenin. Had some friends over for madhat movie Mondays... watched some Joe Dirt and ate some chicken patties... mmm.

Got a little fire water in from some old dude that works here. It's pretty good, a little rough. He is inspiring me to make my own again. Now... where did I put that corn meal...

Fronty Owner

Stay with the mechanical side. drifting to the manufacturing side will get you hung up in a manufacturer. and everyone knows where manufacturing is going.
Test / quality might also get you hung up in QC, auditing vendors, verifying recieved items for quality.
Mechanical will get you a few good years in the field, some time in manufacturing, and then a couple years in the R&D department and followed by a balance of field/manufacturing and R&D. Once you know your product inside and out, you start leading projects (either field or R&D) and your primed for management. Just where you wanna be right?

corn meal??? You are makin the good stuff...

Totallyrad

Sorry about the sad times but at least you might get through it without another swollen head.

You just like to whine, period!

Right, I wonder where they are too.

Evening.

Hey!! Dont think I didnt hear that!!!

Its BAD!! I have spent the evening dragging people home. I have the only plow truck with chains all around and weight in the back (77 Chev 3/4 ton). Its like an ice rink without chains here.

That was a mighty fine rant by Bobby!

Lots of drivebys lately. Must still be working on getting the hairballs out.
Hey, I have lots to do. I just finished hiding my Easter eggs and now Im going to spend the next day finding them so there!!!

AND? What was the outcome of the MRI? The heck with the tanned leggs, what'd the MRI say?

I do. And you're NOT removing it.

Butt Bob. BUTT! Jeeez, you should know these things!

You make it sound like you just closed on a house! Congrats Pistol!





Morning all.

No internet yesterday afternoon and last nite. Service told me they'd get on it "no later than Thursday morning". I told them for what we pay for a dedicated T-1 line, they'd better get on it NOW or I'd be paying a visit to their office tonight. (The advantage of having the service provider based in the same town I live in!) Miraculously, I have internet service again this morning!

Today is Tuesday, November 23rd.
