how do you like Mojave? haha. The Spaceship Company and Scaled Composites seem to be hiring. they were just creating sonic booms over the desert today. :)

You could always get a civilian DOD engineering job at China Lake or something like that. But living in ridgecrest would drive you insane....

Scaled would be cool...

Aviation Science was a more "holistic" degree (ie: I learned composite fabrication techniques, along with my flying and mechanical classes) It wasn't offered by the school of engineering. I had two schools..the School of Technology and School of Earth Sciences from my university.
Oooh! Fun! :)

Hehehe. Sorry, Jeff. But you Aussies get the Targa Tasmania. :)

Here are my pictures from Long Beach:
Long Beach ALMS Race 2013 - a set on Flickr

The new zed-four BMWs look wicked.

Finke Desert Race, here I come. :D

Morning Y'all.
Jeff that looks like it belongs in my neck of the woods

Jim Richards 04-30-2013 05:19 AM
Hey, Janet! A 944!!!

Porsche-poor 04-30-2013 06:28 AM
A 944x4.

Cool morning all.

Jim Richards 04-30-2013 06:30 AM
Between yesterday and today, we're having Pacific NW weather here. I'm ready for the SoCal weather.

Porsche-poor 04-30-2013 06:32 AM
Poor thing. Right now its 38 but not raining.

Jim Richards 04-30-2013 06:38 AM
Cool and drizzly here. It's stay in bed weather.

Lately, I find myself looking at various car ads online. I mentioned the possibility of getting a car to my wife over the weekend. She said nothing...just gave me one of those looks. :rolleyes: Looks like we'll be sharing her Jetta for the foreseeable future. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/pyth.gif

Scare her by looking at mods for the car.

GH85Carrera 04-30-2013 06:44 AM
I am ordering MORE parts from Pelican. I am doing my part to keep the BBS free. :)

More "while I am in there" stuff. The engine mounts look ok but they are 28 years old with 145,000 miles. A few oil lines that are in the same condition, but they are even seeping so they gotta go.

What the heck it is just money. :rolleyes:

Jim Richards 04-30-2013 06:49 AM
I could use a money tree for my SoCal house remodeling. Glen, could I get a seed from yours?

Hey, I am just keeping the economy afloat. Keep the cash FLOW just flowing along. :eek:

I keep my money tree picked clean. No compost pile!

Porsche-poor 04-30-2013 11:28 AM
that is the 1st rule to Porsche ownership right?

Jim Richards 04-30-2013 11:33 AM
If it isn't, perhaps it should be.
