The Whining Thread

Dices, cards and horses, Jameson. That's what the stat classes are for. Would fog and snow keep you out of the table?

I've been consistently surprised by how much I actually use stats in this business. I didn't really get it at all when it was just a class I had to take, but the stuff I use daily is crystal-clear now.

Not a whining session out of me today. Over the weekend I did some good work. Got my uncles 67 GTO running. Damn thing hadn't been started since 86. You want to talk about a lot of cobb webs!

It was talked about. They ended up reprogramming it so we were back to skidding by noon.

I once mentioned that and the crew stared back at me with mutinous eyes. There was a long, silent pause. Then they informed me that it was too hard to pull line after working with a motorized carriage. Spit.

No didnt get any pictures of it. I will snap a few when I install the front wheel seals. Also have to change out a bolt on the DS exhaust flange, the bolt is too long and has a leak.

My whine for the day is the sun ever going to shine on a north slope? Moral drops a lot when you can see blue sky and the sun on the other hillside. Working in them damn ice crystals is bloody cold.

Once you get into upper division classes you will be happy you learned all that physics & calculus.

I suppose you are correct. Applying it will be a little more enjoyable I am sure than just trying to pound it into your head for hours on end. :hmm3grin2orange:


My new whine (again, school related) is that the Professor for next terms 3-Dimensional Vector Calculus class just got changed to the hardest Prof in the Math department. Gonna be a loooong term. Will definitely cut into my AS time :msp_mad:

He's right. The upper level stuff is way more fun. Usually less crowded too.

Easy spring semester coming up here. I'll let you know how it goes :biggrin:

 

[greendohn]

so i behaved myself last nite,,in spite of my neighbor,"One Eye *****' Ed",,,(he's a real person), tryin' to ply me with his delicious home made wine,,i was in bed and fed early last nite. Looking forward to a couple, "MONSTER ASH", blow downs on the edge of a field, as promised by my other Pal, Randy, I had saws and fuel loaded and headed out early this mornin'. When I got to "Randys' "Monster Ash", turned out to be a couple of "Monster" Poplar trees. what the heck,,,busted out a "Monster" load of the "Monster Poplar",,and got it split, stacked and ,,,drippin' wet in the wood shed.,,,I guess it'll be better than burnin' snow balls,,,one-o' these days,,,like,,,Memorial day camp fires !!:bang:

Holy rusty metal batman it is cold out!!!

My whine for the day, had one too many adult beverages lastnight and broke a ring putting my 044 jug back on. Opps.

 

[Rounder]

Motels suck. So we came home for a night. Might have to make one night a week at home a habit. It's worth the gas money.

New Starter -$300 bucks. 2 dry days of no skidding while waiting for part. Machine now running like a champ when its 45 degrees, raining, and too muddy to skid- priceless.

Where in the hell is winter?
