No more math talk. It's not a contest and I can't stand listening to people who do that ... thing.

No real engineer would ever call it “math”!

Haha, I got your point!

It's quite possible that I just sucked at it. Well, I definitely sucked at it or I wouldn't have needed to retake multiple courses.

I just think I've had the same issue of focus or lack thereof for multiple things even when I'm incredibly interested in them. And it's definitely made me wonder if it's just me or not.

A wee bit of a hot fire tonight.

I can't express it in math terms, but I know how to make metal glow!

Drove the BRZ in heavy rain with four 255/35 kayaks where wheels and tires used to be. Did not crash.

Not long after I got my BRZ I had to go to Chicago for work. Ended up having to stay a extra day, then got bounced to Denver to deal with another emergency. In those extra days I was away we got hit with a sudden snowstorm. This is what I was greeted with when I got back to the airport at 2am.
