quote of the day thread..

Engineers don't have to work on what they design. Makes it pretty easy to wash their hands of it once it makes production.

 

[bmyohn]

Exactly! I wish I could take the engineers into a shop for a week and have them watch what goes on.

The same goes for boats. We would work on engines that were put in place before the boat was fiberglassed. Literally they would bolt down an engine to the stringers and then fiberglass the hull around it. That was always fun.

There are some corporations who won't hire an engineer without practical experience, like HD.

I work with engineers a lot. It's way more fun when the two of us are trying to figure out what some other engineer was thinking when they designed it.

The military mechanic relies on the government engineer who has no idea what the contractor engineer was designing and ends up just figuring it out on his own. Providing them with a solution and asking for permission is so much easier than presenting a problem and waiting for the wheel to go 'round.

Here's a thought, some engineers are smart enough to just end up "fawking" with people......

 

[BRIANHO13]

because we can.

That's actually a theory we had around the shop:

"Could the engineer really BE this retarded, or do you think he actually did it to us on PURPOSE?"

Why do you think the original shackle relocation brackets were weld on? So they would be a beetch to resell......

I painted the CVO bikes for 4 years and I am amazed some of the engineers they hire are capable of feeding themselves. The guys that were in the pilgrim road plant that worked on buells were awesome but alot of them had to go elsewhere.

My cousin has a doctorate in engineering and they told him if he didn't ride and wrench they wouldn't hire him. Of course, that was a few years ago.

After waiting 20 minutes for the dipshit to come help me I had to teach him how to use the machine.

Lol. Sounds like going to auto zone.

"Dana 30? What size brakes are on that? Is it a 4.0?"

"Whatever size you want it won't matter for the shaft "

I had to tell the dumbass one of the brake sizes, then had him do the other. Guess what? Same damn part number!

I did this @ the key making machine in the walmart.

I'm not waiting 15 minutes for you to come over here when the instructions are right on the machine, step by step.

The average walmart tire guy can make keys, I think I can handle it. They freak out when you turn it on though, so now I just go late at night after the oil change section is closed and no one is around. For some reason I have yet to make myself a key that doesn't work, but they're about 50/50 on whether it opens the door or not.

The one here used to be. I knew all the guys there. But they slowly moved on to better things and there's nothing but yards there now! I normally go to parts plus. But they're only open til 1 on Saturdays and not at all Sundays.

If it wont open the door, can it be considered a "working" key?

Removing Obama from office and replacing him with Mit Romney is like taking the cans of diesel out of a burning shed and replacing them with cans of kerosene.
