But I like doing stuff in Solidworks. I only work on it at my leisure but I should get at least the front done by the time school starts. If this suspension gets the go-ahead it will be a major goal realized.

I like sleeping, but I do get up and out once in a while.

It's not Solidworks that is keeping me from going out. It is my lack of interest or rather my laziness. I'd rather do Solidworks than go drive somewhere for that sort of stuff.

It is tough to find a sweet spot for the steering links that has both negligable bump steer and lots of steering lock available at any point in the suspension travel. I can get one or the other but both is tricky. But I like playing around with this stuff. The setup I want to use is not something you will have seen before. At least I have never seen it before.

The rear will be a drag since I can't really change the axle design and they have very little plunge travel. That means I need to give up on camber gain if I want to keep the low roll center and high travel to allow the front to work as intended. But that should give a good test of how important camber is and of the linearity of the trade-off between slip angle and camber angle.

And if I talked like that in public I would either put people to sleep or scare them away. That is why I don't go out.

Summer is not that big of a deal since going to school in SLO is actually enjoyable most of the time. I get to ride on some nicer roads but I actually like having stuff to do during the quarter. College is awesome!

Being a full time student beats working a dull summer job, too.

The one where you take a block from 1.75" down to 35mm with no tear out. Step two shape the body.

I'm in a foul mood, Dave. My sarcasm is extra dark tonight. And as you've all probably caught on, I don't do green font.
