He went to school here in San Luis Obispo. you are correct on SLO. That abbreviation is everywhere here - the SLO life, etc.

Funniest one is SLO Transit written on the busses.

This has so far been a good birthday weekend. I watched some club racing (Porsche club, of course) on Saturday. It was a 4 hour endurance race, but the track isn't the most interesting. I was able to get my a$$ out of bed early enough the past couple days to get my bike ride in on the mountain road before the squids come out. Drove the 911 today, and tomorrow we should be testing the FSAE car.

Janet's posts make me feel old at 23, though.

Thanks, Monday is the day, actually. I still have 2 hours left as a 22 year old since I was born on US Pacific time.

I don't usually do much celebration for my birthday. I usually get a nice book as a gift and go to the Tribute to Le Mans which is always that weekend. It is right around final exam time, too but I don't stress over tests so it makes no difference.

Two years ago my dad was telling everyone at the track about me turning 21. I was just like "whatever".

Thanks. I am fine with Mondays for the time being. Upper-level engineering classes are fun and actually I finished those already. Just taking fun/easy classes now. I imagine my tone will change when I start a job, depending on what job it is.

I imagine they will, no matter what job you end up doing.

Morning, Jim. You're the only engineer I like. I'm so glad I figured out freshman year that I didn't not want to be an engineer.

I was too slow. It wasn't until I had my MSEE and a few years on the job before I wised up.

The only thing I regret now is I still have to work with them. Not actually being one, priceless.

True. Especially about the time off/rest.
