Bye Week Saturday - What you gonna be doing?

[SECyclone]

Getting corn out of the field. Wind sucks but hopefully we keep the dry weather

It blows my mind that they make us bring all of these references to the exam, and not just provide reference tables within the exam itself to reference as necessary. There's like 14 Civil/Transportation references. Many of them are hundreds of pages and several of them are over a thousand pages each.

Very few engineers use printed copies of a lot of those references anymore, too. It's so much easier to search via PDF, and also make sure your reference is up to date by keeping it digital.

Not to mention that several of the references are hundreds of dollars a piece. I'm lucky enough to have an employer who will purchase what I need but I feel for those that don't!

Yeah I didn’t bring one of the pavement design books for the afternoon and it bit me on a couple questions. Sucks when you have to buy some of your books - they’re not cheap.

Got up at 5:30 put 8 pound pork butt on Weber kettle to smoke, got chainsaw out cut some **** up and got the brush pill burned. Did start the morning with my Bloody Mary mix I make and a beef stick, pickle, asparagus.

That "breakfast" would give me indigestion for a week...

Planned a week vaca to the Domincan. In reality I planned it last year so I had no idea when the bye week was,but or worked out great.

Cheers!

Bought a brisket that will be smoked at a later day. So no matter what happens the rest of the Saturday, it's been a success.

Study my arse off for the PE Exam coming up on Friday...

Bring some dark chocolate. It opens up the blood vessels in your brain.

I definitely overstudied for the PE (structural). 150 hours or so. You’ll kill it.

 

[MLawrence]

Hungover as **** and trying to pull it together

Did you not cook a flank steak in salted butter, eat that, then put on a pair of wet socks and go to sleep?

We went out on a whim, so I didn’t have time to get my hands on a steak. I’ve failed.

Didn’t choose to do the SE?

Yeah, that’s way too hard.

Change of plans. Spouse got started on building his wall, and I needed his help for the digging. Never got to the grocery store - we'll do that tomorrow when we're in town anyway.
Heading downstairs to finish watching TCU fall apart and bake some cookies. The house is gonna smell gooooooood...

Got a wedding tonight. Sitting on the couch watching football until I need to get ready.

I'll PM my address here in DC for a nice fresh batch. Make sure you send it express, I'm only here 'til next Sunday.

Celebrating my 6th anniversary on CF today!!!

Got home late last night b/c of officiating, so slept in 'till nearly 9:00.

Took it easy at home with the wife & kids till 11, went out for a quick lunch & Menards run.

Will take a short nap now and then accomplish a few things outside. Probably rake some leaves and cut down some vines in the woods behind the house.
