Says he is doing distributed computing for Stanford on a protein folding program, but really he says he just likes computer parts.

You should see the cooling fans (and a normal desk oscillating fan to boot).

He has not tried to sleep with the fans on yet, since he just got back today.

Dave, sounds like you have a potential protege.

Naw. I'm not that into computers. Biggest thing I have now is a dual core.

Nite, D.

Adventure week for me, since my cousin is here.

We charged San Diego today and went to the USS Midway, the Maritime Museum and Old Town. Best part was flying there and back instead of the 3 hour drive.

This getting up early is starting to wear on me. Bright and early at VNY.


Beautiful day and weather. (Still sucky for the ski season).


The Rose Parade is going on down there. To the right of the freeway, where the buildings are close together.


San Diego in the distance.


Landing at SAN.


Commercial jet landing. Pic does not show how close I really am to it.

[vas930]

Cool.
Looks like another good day for Dave.

[slodave]

Onto the USS Midway.

F4U Corsair.


Pretty cool looking simulators back and to the right - if you want to fork out the cash.


Mavrick!


It's quite the walk to go from end to end.


Which knob was I supposed to adjust?


Sitting in the Mini Boss chair. Why? Because I will always be 2nd in command around him.




This corridor went on forever and I was already a third of the way in.


Kickass machine room.

[Flieger]

Ah, now I remember. The Inbetweeners is that show they have commercials for during Top Gear.

Nice pictures Dave.

[vas930]

Thats a machine room!

[slodave]

Then onto some older ships, a Russian sub and going home.



Damn the torpedoes!


Can ya turn that big red valve for me?


Tiny crapper.


Sunset at the harbor.


Jet overhead.


Watching a jet take off into the waning sun.


Downtown L.A. in the distance.


Back home, landing 34L at VNY.

[vas930]

3 hour drive.
How long to fly?

[slodave]

It took 48 minutes to get home.

[vas930]

Nice job, Dave.
Nite all.
See you in a few days.

[porsche4life]

Night guys...

[Rick V]

Morning guys, looks like fun Dave
