I'm in nj and haven't had one of these storms at least in my adult life. Where I'm at there's just trees and wires down and the residents are all up in arms over loss of power. I went with my fire company to help out a shore fire department over the weekend and found their town basically a...

I was at four years until december when they gave me a 5% for passing in april.

Just put together the Tow Mater power quad that my sister ordered for MiniFF's 2 year birthday tomorrow. I'm fearing that i went on our last walk him with on his trike tonight... He's gonna wanna go on his electric truck for awhile and have nothing to do with his bike.

The CERM problems were insane and I felt way overwhelmed working those, especially when one problem was taking me well over an hour as I re-learned material. Like others have said though- you don't need to master everything. I took transpo and during my studying I decided to pretty much skip...

yup- last week

I went through the induction, wore the ring for a very short while afterwards. I sort of forgot about it until I read this thread actually... and now that I think of it, I can't remember ever seeing another engineer wearing the ring

You and me both. I'm at about the same rate and percent.
