    Please recommend a Civil/Construction review course

    Not sure what you mean by "understand the fundamentals", but I'm a Testmasters fan because they take the opposite approach: if you want to learn someone, take a college course; if you want to pass an exam; apply these strategies. Rather than explain theory, they focused on approach.

    How many of you are ex-military?

    I told my wife that EVERY DAY is military spouse appreciation day!

    Any my thought was: silly man, you put chain rings on the front, not cassettes!

    THE DRUNK TANK... 2.0

    If'n I was Queen for a Day and making up the rules here, I'd add: "No corrections provided even if autocorrect is to blame!" it's more fun trying to guess what the hell was meant.

    What happens if we don't find out our scores in time to re-test?

    Maybe not: Back in the day, I know OR didn't extend the filing date. Their logic was there's no harm in waiting another cycle. Bottom line: Call CA's BPELSG and ask them... they'll tell you clearly!

    It's not... really.

    HELP - Test question with no answer! ERRRRRRR

    I think "wet pit area" isn't analogous to wetted perimeter, but rather simply the area of the wet pit. If so, the formula "Δh = V/wet pit area" is trivial and doesn't help.

    I like riding centuries (the metric ones are a little easier!). It's a great vibe and the support is usually outstanding. I haven't done one in a few years, though.

    I don't want to turn this into a Lance debate, but I offer two perspectives: 1) He didn't do anything almost all the other riders did... except succeed at hiding it for a very long time, and 2) Anyone who calls themselves Juan Pelotta when checking into a hotel under an assumed name gets...

    None taken! You can buy shorts that work off the bike as well as on. Take a look at http://www.theguardian.com/environment/bike-blog/2012/sep/19/levis-vulpine-best-everyday-bike-wear But if you want real street cred, you'll need to shave your legs.

    Go make me a sammich...

    Horse meat is very good. In Italy is costs more than beef. Lean and irony. Yum! When my parents came to visit, I didn't tell them they were eating horse. They loved it. Then they hated me when I told them.

    It's pretty easy to true a rim if it's still round. Buy a spoke wrench for a few bucks and fix it yourself.

    I'm a Strava fan, too. I have an old Fondreist, but I'm itching to buy a Trek Madone or Domane with Di2. I've convinced the wife to let me spend $8,000 - which is less that the kitchen remodel material cost (and forget about the value of my labor!). I hadn't touched the bike for two months...

    Hot Dougs http://www.hotdougs.com/‎ They have some incredible "specials". My favorite: Foie Gras and Sauternes Duck Sausage with Truffle Aioli, Foie Gras Mousse and Fleur de Sel.
