    How do you exercise your creative side?

    I play the saxophone some Sing at church some Read fiction some I suck at being creative.  I like rules and structure and typically have a hard time thinking outside of the proverbial box. I imagine my creative side is starving for attention most of the time.  Too much design work to be done...

    2019 Last Minute Christmas gift ideas

    Yep.  The 30-30 has a more intricate stock, but i like the barrel and price of ammo for the 357 better.

    2019 Last Minute Christmas gift ideas

    Ammo is my gift to me.  Ive made a tradition of "End of the Year End of the World gifts" to myself for a few years now.  Just got in about 10,000 rounds yesterday.

    2019 Last Minute Christmas gift ideas

    My wife (who is not into hugging trees or really all that into specialty makeup) specifically asked for a subscription to Causebox.  Doesn't really fit her personality, but she listed it by name, so...

    Keeping in shape as an Engineer

    I'm not a runner by any means.  In fact, I hate running, but even I finish pretty high in my class.  Running is just putting one foot in front of the other.  So as long as you can still stand you can do that part.  Several of the obstacles require upper body strength that is hard to fake if it...

    Keeping in shape as an Engineer

    I too packed on about 25 lbs once I started this desk job 19 years ago.  Once I got out of school, I was able to start working out again and have stuck with it for the last 13 years or so.  Pretty much 3 ~1 hr workouts a week plus a basketball night and a night of competitive table tennis.  I...

    I have a plan stamping competitor

    Need some advise.  I have blatant evidence of a competitor plan stamping prototype drawings.  I was asked to "just stamp" these prototype drawings for a client.  I told them I could not do that and it would take a couple of weeks for me to recreate the design.  He said that would be fine.  2...

    I don't understand networking

    I can attest to the fact that you dont have to be great at networking (ie talking to people) to have a successful career.  I suck at it and have somehow managed to do all right.  I hate small talk and dread having to come up with something to talk to a stranger about.  My wife is the polar...

    Best Software for HVAC System Design?

    Designing HVAC or plumbing in REVIT is pointless for the most part and takes WAAAAAAAYYYY more time than using Autocad.  Unless you have a very significant piping job or are designing complex HVAC for a 25 story bldg REVIT is overkill IMHO.

    The Pet Thread

      We recently adopted Beau's big brother.  They are both about 3.5 yrs old and hate birds.  Took a couple weeks for them to figure who the boss is, but they get along great now.

    did you need a college degree?

    You can get the title of "engineer" in just about any profession.  I had the title of sanitation engineer when I worked midnights cleaning floors during college, but that didn't mean I was an engineer.  To legally use the title of "Engineer" outside of the plant you work in you, must have a...

    Engineering as a "status" occupation? LMAO

    What weird post.  All students are left to fend for themselves after graduation.  Its called life.  I didn't have any help from my school after I left and didn't expect any.  They aren't running a daycare for engineers.  Once your out on your own its up to you.  So yes, it is your fault not your...

    Engineering as a "status" occupation? LMAO

    That's your fault bud.  My degree has opened many doors for me to better myself and the lives of my family, and the lives of my employees that I've hired as a result of my degree and the charities that I have donated to because of my "status" as you call it.  Just because your career petered...
