Last Semester . . . Shit just got real
It's starting to set in that I will actually be joining the real world after this semester. As some of you know, my original college plans involved a last semester spent in London. Due to financial consideration to the increase in English tuition, that is unfortunately no longer viable. So here I am ( Read more... ) -
Cross Country Trip
For those of you who don't know I was working at SpaceX in Los Angeles California over the summer and for years I've wanted to take a road trip by motorcycle of the country and since travel expenses were partially compensated and I would only have to travel one way back to Pennsylvania I searched the entire summer, and finally bought myself another ( Read more... ) -
winter break/beginning of classes
Well the semester has started off and even though it isn't too tough, I still like vacation more. In this particular case the reason is that I think I had an extremely awesome break this time 'round. It consisted of a good mix of hanging out with friends lazing around the house and working on my projects ( Read more... ) -
Autobody Wankery
This morning I was watching the powerblock tv shows on spike tv and they are generally rather good and I enjoy seeing other people's projects being worked on. However, today's ep. of musclecar included them making some rather interesting alterations to a '70ish barracuda, and by interesting, I mean nice mods that they did INCORRECTLY. Usually there ( Read more... ) -
Great Weekend or Greatest Weekend
I'm hoping I don't jinx it by posting already, but I have to say, this is shaping up to be one awesome weekend. Last night was CTFWS for which my friend from home and his roommate at Grove City came down. It was pretty darn good, as usual I didn't get any flags, but it is so much fun that it doesn't bother me at all, which is odd, b/c I am ( Read more... ) -
Weekend Home
Best 4.5 days evar!!! So last week I didn't have class on Friday and nothing important was going on Thursday afternoon, solution go home. Thursday morning saw an exam in Numerical Methods that I did a hell of a lot better on than I expected, it was followed by going to Club Wilkins, packing, eating, and then catching a cab to the greyhound station ( Read more... ) -
back in the swing?
So I don't think I've posted since classes have started back up. Overall I'm expecting a pretty good semester, Dynamics is very interesting, I just need to slow down a little bit, because during class the other day I was confused for like 10minutes b/c the problem involved a horizontally accelerating inclined plane with a box on it, I couldn't ( Read more... ) -
Back to School
Well having completed just over a week of classes I felt that I should post something. So far this year seems to be going reasonably well, the classes seem like they should be good except for numerical methods which once I get the hang of matlab I don't think will be that bad. One of the drawbacks of having an enjoyable summer spent at home is that ( Read more... ) -
Summer's End
Well the end is drawing near and I feel as though I have gotten quite a lot done. I got my street rod to the driveable point, and my chopper is very near the inspectable point. I also got many of the things I need to finish many of my projects like brakes for motorcycles, throttle cables, wheels and tires . . . On Friday I also achieved one of my ( Read more... ) -
ZOMG summer
Holy Crap I have so much left to do this summer. since my last entry, I've gone sailing, got my chopper rideable after 4 attempts at a piece of the shifter linkage (now all that is left is some wiring and a little finish welding before it is inspectable), bought enough parts to make a lot of progress (forthcoming) on the next 2 bikes, designed and ( Read more... )
