again...I am the wrong person to ask if you want someone to talk you out of it. I love the LS motors and there is a huge aftermarket support out there as well as easily made HP. The C10 is sounding and running beautifully. I have never regreted doing the LS swap.

I'm working through the logistics. Wife is concerned it's something else that's going to sit in the garage. If anything, I may buy it and sell it on pirate.

an interesting note is that a new farm has just started construction not far from my house. they are putting up about 200 400ft tall turbines. assuming it takes about a year to finish construction, i should be done with my degree right around the time they are looking to build the maintenance teams. could be a great opportunity without having to uproot my life and move.

but im not looking that far ahead. right now, i still have 3 1/2 semesters to get through.

You have plenty of time if you have 3 1/2 semesters. They are either going slowly or having financial backing issues right now...

Had an interesting observation coming into work this afternoon. The guy who hired me back in 2001 has been here over 40 years. While walking into work, I noticed him and the operations manager walking out. I was going to say hi, but this didn't look like a good walk. Turns out someone at the corp. level decided he needed to be let go from what I gather. What is scary is that if he can be fired, any of us here can be. It wouldn't have been as bad if we were not already very lean on staff, but they also fired the receptionist in a money saving move also. Also this next week the morning audio operator (which I am working 5am to 2pm next week) and night director is off.

The only possible good thing to come out of this, they can't possibly not fill the guy who hired me position. Which means I will be applying for a new job (either that one or a director position) if they open up.
 
Did they talk about the unsustainability of wind farms and how if it were not for the butt load of gov'ment subsidies no one would build one? How by the time they almost pay for them selves they need a complete overhaul? I wonder if they will take them down or leave them up to rust when they become money pits?

^this. With the expiration of the producer credit and the removal of most of the credits for construction the majority of projects were halted or scaled way back to previously approved ones that already had their credits. You will still see a handful where the utilities are struggling to meet the DoE requirements for renewables. But that will be it.

composite doesn't rust.

but I agree that they are not financially viable, and that the subsidy money was a tremendous waste to make some hippies feel good.
We should have taken all of tha tmoney and did intensive research into things that might actually carry a baseline load.

See the announcement that Lockheed Martin made about new fusion reactors? They're saying truck sized reactors in ten years that make 100 MW. Every town could have one, and we'd decentralize our very vulnerable power grid.

While corrosion on carbon graphite is rare, it does happen. Especially when it's combined with other metal alloys that are close to it's corrosive properties, like aluminum. That's why the fasteners on a composite aircraft are titanium. Titanium and carbon graphite are about as far apart on the corrosion chart as you can get.

The composite may not corrode, but it will accelerate the corrosion of the fasteners and brackets that it's attached to, which makes whatever composite part you have structurally unsound.
 
the more you know.


so, is it bad that I really hope doug picks up this longbed and it's clean so I can trade him a shortbed for a longbed?
and I'm hoping to meet dude and trade for a latemodel 5 spd XJ tomorrow?

When did my jeep problem get out of control? I think I may need rehab.
