Octoberfest is a cultural institution in my family and you'd pretty much be ostracized if you skipped it. Nothing better than getting shitfaced at 1pm on a Friday while eating some schnitzel.

My October checklist:
  • Find a job
  • Find an apartment
  • Finish my project cars before snow falls
  • Finalize a plan to go back to school
  • Keep myself from breaking down completely

October is great, so far in the process of switching cars around in the garage I managed to drop my glasses, run them over, and then drive to work wearing my sunglasses only then to realize I don't have my glasses.

The glasses are fine, though.

Every time I decide to try running I take my dog with me and after 30 seconds he decides "gently caress this" and comes to a complete halt. I've gotta get that motherfucker in line so he'll start running with me :argh:

Cider owns.

My friend and I juiced apples from his yard last week. Added 3kg of sugar to get the abv up to around 8%.

Edit: also cider related the first batch we made didn't turn out that great but it did introduce me to 'rhino farts'

my dog will run full speed for the first mile but then he burns himself out because he's pulling as god intended all huskies to do

so then the next four miles are him trying to keep up and panting and then me stopping at Starbucks to get him some water and people rubbing his belly :3:

My dog is some lovely mutt shitzu poodle breed (there's a whole story to how I ended up with him) that has some hella hosed up front legs that are the dog equivilant to a slammed V Dub's front end alignment. So he's never going to be a world beater but I just wish he'd be willing to do at least a mile. Also he absolutely hates strangers so no belly rubs for him :(

Pip-Pip old chap! Last one in is a rotten egg what what.

I just dropped £600 at Travis Perkins because the other yards were dicking me around, that should be nearly everything I need for monster garage shelves, workbench and garden fence. That should put the garage in order and make working in there possible, then I can build a gate and the yard is completely closed off. What then? Toylander I think.


I'm in financial shock. New sofa arrives at the same time. :suicide:

Aldi a month or two ago had tool cabinets at £140 I think, local one to me has their last one reduced to £50. If you can find one of those go for it. Otherwise the halfords offer comes and goes, 7 drawer chest and 5 drawer cabinet for £250. If you can afford it I'd always recommend a chest and cabinet over tool boxes, I don't regret mine for a moment.

Not the same box as mine but still a good deal:http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/...1&storeId=10001

Did you try the yard I recommended last time? here You might be outside their delivery area though. They are a family run place and have been really good to me. Any trade merchant that remembers your name after a couple of visits, will give you stuff on credit and where the boss also gets out in the truck doing the deliveries whenever one of the normal drivers is off so that they are not late is a good place to deal with!

this loving principles of EE class has some of the most bass-ackwards circuit analysis i have ever heard of in my life

poo poo like an indicated current direction with a loving negative value

and i'm about to take an exam for it

i can analyze REAL circuits all day long but this poo poo with hosed up arrangements just for the sake of "CHALLENGING YOUR ABILITY" is pissing me off something awful

whats hosed up is i only need this class as a prerequisite for vibrations and controls. and i'm not actually learning anything that I didn't already know from physics 2, my automotive electrical classes, and said hands-on experience

everything we've learned these first six weeks can be summed up as "circuit reduction", i'm talking basic loving resistor circuits with voltage and current sources

it's a gently caress-you version of physics 2, just like dynamics is gently caress-you physics 1 and mechanics is just statics with added flavor.

God I hope thermodynamics is interesting next semester.

I wish we were running that this year but we decided we weren't running with Chump this year. Almost signed up with another team but I've got too much going on for two races that month. Good luck and have a good race, I'll probably be following along on one of the tracking sites. We'll be running Hallet with WRL the 17th and 18th.

October already...gently caress. Guess goals for this month through the end of the year are the same as they have been all year, sell the 928 and put in a lift. This has been one unproductive year for AI related stuff other than the E28.

Fly home Saturday morning, have several bars I wanted to hit before I left. Should be a couple fun nights with a lot of Uber rides.
