Things only you say? I’m known for some of my sayings that only make sense to me and my friends. What saying are you known for? Here are some of mine Soccer moms dig it! Like wild flaming bananas! Yes I am that dude! Long legged flat bellied perky boobied hotties…..(for a while this became a chant sung at bars) Oh you say going down in flames as if it’s a bad thing! JB weld, oh yeah it will work! Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

Yeah....soft landings? How do you do it?
shah269 replied to shah269's topic in Swooping and Canopy Control
OK! After speaking to the guys at the DZ who were there at the time of the accident....it was all 100% my fault. Yes I was blown a little to the right due to some turbulence but the accident was all my fault. As I came down I went to flare but somehow my brain froze and I only went half way, hands to belly button and not all the way past my belt. And as such I was not fully flared out. According to people I "bounced" up due to the half flare and then the canopy moved over my head and past me due to what I think would be called a stall.. So it was all may fault, way too much data process for my brain and to slow a reflex add to a windy day and now I have a bum leg.

Why only go half way - have a bic standing by and a safe word when the flames get too big. yeah but i like my nuts! And I really don't want them...flame broiled!

I knot this is going to sound dumb....but I was so frustrated in seeing so many good ideas get shot down and not get any funding...i thought if i could become a manager I would work hard to make sure every engineer got their fare shake. So far I have been ok at it. I've helped a few groups get their ideas prototyped and even tested. But I have to admit it's hard work and I worry about burning out at times.

chasteh No you are right, you have a bunch of business majors who had an "easy" life at university thinking that any two toed monkey can do the job of the engineer. And the engineer just lacks the guts to stand up and declare his value. It's a recipe for disaster.

Tell that to middle and upper management and the bean counters! The thing engineers are a pile of much, info goes in and a solution comes out....they just don't understand what an engineer has to do to produce said solution. And since the engineer isn't the one to brag about how hard he had to work...no one will ever know and people will just use the poor guy or gal.

Mercury Sable, 3 litre V6. I think there is a bunch of stuff over the engine as I recall. And getting to the plugs isn't easy. You could do it if you want but you may have to undo the airbox and maybe move the battery. Before you dish out that kind of cash, open the hood of the car, invite your local mechanical engineer buddy (don't forget to set him up on a blind date) and start working. Should take no more than an hour, and you would get to know your car. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

Do you want to know how much it is to change them on my subaru?It is $600-800 The Subaru engines are a bitch to work on! You have to get under and reach around and well it's a pain....or remove a bunch of stuff from the top. Either way its a lot of work. But $600 is nuts! Hell $300 is nuts!

I think that would not only be very difficult...number of girls to guys but also very difficult to sustain....number of guys to girls.

Hay your right! Some married me! I mean really! WOW! But yeah....it was a hell of a sell trying to convince her, to go out with me and not the buss driver...it was the out of this world conversation I have ever had. I basicly had to sell my self as the anti engineer....which isn't that much of a stretch. Except for the bad spelling.

-
Oh no...not just me! Any and all engineers were seen as second to buss drivers! I recall that for the first 4 or so years the engineer made less cash than the buss driver.....it was crazy! Add to it that some engineers are shy and well it was a perfect storm. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

It's funny you guys and gals bring this up. While working in Finland I was single, and when I met my future wife she had a very hard choice to make. Either go out with me, the engineer or a buss driver. Guess who is a hot comodity in Finland. I'll give you a hint "The wheels on the buss go round and round......." Yeah! Your average city buss driver in Finland apparently was a hotter comodity than the average engineer.

Yeah I got out as fast as I could. When I saw that I was going nowhere fast....I had no choice. So I went and applied for a managers job. Now I have to get my ass in gear and get an MBA. Don't get me wrong I loved being an engineer....i really did and still do enjoy fixing broken things and or making peoples lives better.....but the total lack of respect......and the crap pay? I had no choice but to move on. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

Here is to hoping that things get better! May the economy improve and engineers, non military types, learn how to dress well and talk to girls. And maybe the girls cna give these great guys half a chance? Maybe? Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

"bitch shield" is a phrase used in the book The Game. WE all...men and women have a bitch shield. Read the book if you have a free moment. It's a great read! Amazing story and lots of fun!

I believe the peak was during the Apollo missions, and when the space program fell out of public awe, so did the allure of the Engineering community(but do you guys really want this area to be part of a fad?). But there is some areas many people don't look at when they think of Engineers. for instance, the Submarine community in the US Navy. All the officers are Nuclear powerplant graduates (except supply) and by design have some sort of engineering degree. The military is full of them. In the Navy, it is preferred. I don't believe, even generally, that engineers are inept socially. But the field does not punish this ineptness like other areas. I work for the armed forces. And some of the best engineers I have ever met were guys and gals who were both engineers and active members of the armed forces. Very smart very sharp very well put together guys and gals who I love working with. They speak their minds, they know their stuff, know how to sell management on an idea and when the time comes they sure know how to relax! I've also had the great pleasure of meeting a number of the old Moon Shot engineers. Also great guys! Top of the heap super smart guys who really did enjoy what they did and they have some amazign stories.
