HA my mom just figured out who I am on FB, I guess I can expect to talk about this tomorrow.

Is there a champaigne that's too cheep to make mimosas with?

I can drink gallons of that stuff.

Oh lord, yes. Don't use Andre *pukes*

I prefer something rather dry. The Domaine St Michelle Extra Dry Brut is a good budget choice for them.

Math tricks ftw

Just did it myself #9 go figure and I like Star Wars!

Again, math tricks ftw. EVERYONE will get #9...unless of course they fuck up in the math portion.

I figured you guys would love that pic

I'll look out for it.

If I'm not arrested in some federal sting or something I'm gonna spend that hundo... or rather one like it and return that one to the bank.... on bubly hooch.

That shit wouldn't fly around here.

PA I tell you. That location has some other good shows, they used to have the big Merkur National meet there, not sure if they still do or not.

I got a job offer today from Union Pacific. =D

Got a question for you technically advanced guys.

I am looking for a device to store engine data for a specified amount of time that I can hook a computer to (via 3G, Wifi, Bluetooth, Direct cable, etc..) and pull the engine data off for analysis.

I will most likely be plugging it in to some sort of "off-road" vehicle (e.g. Rubber Tire Loader, Grader, Excavator). One problem I have is that I don't know the diagnostic connections available on these vehicles (if they are even available) but that is actually something I can work around by picking different vehicles if I must.

I'm mostly concerned with finding a product that has the ability to store data that I can tap into every once in a while and pull all the data off. Data I'm looking to collect includes engine revolutions, oil temp, vehicle speed, etc...

Any ideas?

last night I got a call from the police unclaimed property office..... I call them back, and aparently I have a 100 dollar bill waiting for me.

The woman on the phone said that the the bill was from 1985, doesn't have any security features and the cop was wrong.

I'm happy to get my hundo back, but that's FREAKY! I half expect them to slap cuffs on me when I come to pick it up or something.

I would actually give Caterpillar a call, I'm assuming that you are doing this for your grad class/research and see if they have anything that can do such things.

Not sure if they still have the Merkur meet. I will ask my father in law.

Why Caterpillar? Is this for them? If so, make them loan you a SOMAT.

Otherwise details of the sensors are necessary for us to help as that can drastically change the price of the acquisition system. As a reference, typically manufacturers pay close to $50k for that capability, but there are much cheaper options.

Definitely . Why would anyone counterfeit a 1985 bill????

How about: Ridiculously normal amplifiers that we charge a huge premium for based on history that we bought.

No clue but the cop looked younger than me, so I can understand how it might look weird considering I was only 3 when it was printed. Even more odd is why wouldn't the bank replace is with a new one.

reclaiming property office has the close message on!

I really wanted to grab my hundizzle at lunch rather than after work.

Mad at the city for taking my loot, then saying my bad come gets it, then not picking up the phone TOP.

Sue them for $100 for emotional trauma.

It actually may be a Cat product we test (not sure how Ryan2 knew that). We are looking for something that in the long run the company could continue to use, but instead of us doing research it would be them pulling the numbers sticking them into a program we developed and getting feedback.

I'm hoping for something like this
