Midlife Sooner

Ice again.

It is icy again here, the ten day forecast calls for 50-60 degree temps next week, that is where I am living right now. My sister Gail once told me not to wish my life away.... sorry sis I am not living in reality right now but at least it is 50-60 degrees where I am at.

"hello dan" Chinese neighbor that I can't remember his name.
"hello" Dan as I get on my bike on the ice
"you ride you bike today?"
"yup"
"you crazy" as he walked off.

I am currently typing on my new laptop that my professor loaned me, it is his old one but still pretty nice. It is a mac powerbook. My boss is a big mac guy and I think that he wants to prostilitize his beliefs. That is alright to me, as long as I get free stuff. I just finished a letter to Michelin tire company asking them several questions about their tread design process and inviting them to join in my research (asking for money). I think that I am getting better at writing, or at least I think that until Angie rips through it with her head in her hand all the time wondering how I got this far in engineering writing like a 3 year old. I say CAD drawings are worth a thousand words, at least until I want to show them to someone that is not an engineer. The English language is so inefficient and wordy. Angie has been very encouraging but I still get tired of trying.
We had our first leaders meeting for our new church last night it went well. we are reading a book called home cell group explosion so far it is really good. I also started to reread "the insider" which is a good book on workplace relationships from a christian perspective.
Here is a video of my machine so far. I think that I will use my old toolbox as a junction box for all of the electronics. Brandon thinks that I am crazy. crazy like a fox!!
