    So...it's been a while...

    How has everyone been over the last 5 years?

    So, which key do you want to use to blow the thing up?

    While I'm aware it wasn't as close as it makes it sound, this made me laugh.

    Things you do to at work to get/stay healthy?

    What do you do at your place of business to get your blood flowing? I'm primarily aiming this at people that sit behind a computer 8+ hours a day. But, I'd love to hear everyone's ideas. Living in the south, it's difficult to take a walk outside at lunch without coming in soaked. As we don't...

    Have you been audited by your state board?

    I got my registration in December of 2007, and I was selected for audit this year. Thankfully, I kept all my information handy, so I responded to the email in less than 2 hours, and have already gotten my response back. Has anyone else been through this?

    Okay, can someone explain to me the discrepancy between the SMACNA 14-10E mitered el and the ASHRAE SR3-1 mitered el? The loss coefficient tables are way off.

    Okay, so I am looking to start doing mechanical consulting on the side. I'm wanting to set it up as an S corp to protect my family. That being said, I'm having a hard time finding info on it that doesn't involve one those sites trying to sell me a package. Shirley (sic) someone here has done...

    So, they dropped the bomb on us last week...

    As of March 15th, 2010, I'll be officially out of a job. Our office was a small office in a larger corporation. We function as "support" the larger offices, but we've been nearly 100% billable for quite some time due to the ability of the engineers in this office. Still, we got cut due to the...

    My whole hearted thanks to all our Veterans.

    Thank you for all that you do and have done to help me to sleep safe and free. Soldiers are a group that I'm ashamed that I take for granted. A lot of lives are disrupted, devastated, and lost in order to maintain our freedom. Happy Veteran's day to you all.

    College Pick 'Em!

    I've created a college football pick 'em for EB.com on Yahoo Sports. Group ID# 15534 Password: hounddoggy I selected to use the spread (more interesting, especially for crap games). Picks for each game are locked 5 minutes before each game starts (versus locking all at one time). Good Luck!

    My first flight that has WiFi.

    I still hate flying, but connectivity to the outside world is pretty nice!

    PE Exam Takers

    Just think, by this time tomorrow, you'll probably have already answered three questions wrong! Just kidding. At this point, I'm sure the anticipation is starting to build. Be confident in your preparation. It wasn't for nothing. The preparation alone gave me knowledge into areas of my...

    Question about comity?

    Okay, my situation is this. When I signed up to take the exam, I was working for company A. Company A provided for 1 year of experience, as well as three of my references. Since this time, I have left company A. I turned in my two week notice, and was immediately bombarded with more work...

    Do any of you have experience...

    with high temp. air distribution? Roughly 400 degrees?

    Once you pass...

    I've noticed the other forums are a little "lacking for action". For example, I think there are 8 threads total in the mechanical technical discussion. I, for one, will most probably continue to monitor this board on a regular basis. My expertise is in HVAC, and I'm being thrust into plumbing...

    Alabama - Results

    The Alabama results were mailed from NCEES on the 13th. I was hoping to hear something today, but I don't think we will. And the website is horrible. I called them to see if they had been received last week, and the lady was very rude and told me the website was updated every Monday, Wednesday...
