Today starts a new round of classes, todays class is called structure analysis and design. Some professors are good, some are not so much. The work load usually isn't too bad. I usually take the 97 to school, as thats what i bought it for in 2011, parking is so so, spaces are small here and the lot is usually crowded.
Hi `Keane,
Thanks for your reply & update. It's great that you can drive your 97 and keep your S.S. off the roads & in tight parking lots.
Sounds like a super interesting course (I had to look it `up
) to find out what is was about Below is just a small sample of what it's about ? ?Techniques for Structural Analysis and Design

Course Description
This course introduces analysis techniques for complex structures and the role of material properties in structural design, failure, and longevity. Students will learn about the energy principles in structural analysis and their applications to statically-indeterminate structures and solid continua. Additionally, the course will examine matrix and finite-element methods of structured analysis including bars, beams, and two-dimensional plane stress elements. Structural materials and their properties will be considered, as will metals and composites. Other topics include modes of structural failure, criteria for yielding and fracture, crack formation and fracture mechanics, and fatigue and design for longevity. Students are expected to apply these concepts to their own structural design projects.
=====================================
`Keane, I hope you enjoy the class/course. Sound difficult, but fun to learn about. Keep us updated > EnJoy

LoL `Devin, Happy 4 U 4 Sure......I love to read about how much your `love your Monte
Monte's are like people 
`if you keep loving them, they will keep loving you back, if you don't > they won't 4-Sure 
Wish `all a Super `Eve > I 'm `off to visit my friends>Peace/Out
Sup everyone, I got an oil change and my fuel filter replaced today. I still haven't done an oil change myself because I'm usually too busy, and I don't even have the tools to get the pan off, the nut is like welded on lol.
Last update of the day, installed red's power supply Led switches. Got so excited about all the dreams that are coming true for red that I took her to the vacant lot of the recently closed privately owned grocery store (had been around for almost one hundred years, my grandpa grew up shopping their) so as a celebration of having fun with red and being upset at a fond local business closing I took red for a little spin and slid her through some nice curves. Just had a good day today, I hope everyone else did.
