ughghghhghg:barf::barf::eek::eek::barf: i think i need a shower

mpbiv 05-03-2002 11:08 PM

Well normally I have a T1 here at school but it seems the network administrator got lazy since this is exam week. So the network has been down and I have been forced to dial up to one of 2 Netzero servers in Gainesville. 56k truly does suck here. I get better 56k cons when I am in Ocoee.

leadfootedfool 05-03-2002 11:09 PM

uh oh

leadfootedfool 05-03-2002 11:10 PM

who owns it??

mpbiv 05-03-2002 11:10 PM

I should take a shower too since I aint doing much right now. I just got back from the SAE shop here at about 1:30. I was grinderizing some metal there so I am a little dirty and have little chips of metal on my shirt. Its fun feeding stell tubing to the belt sander its even more fun feeding the belt sander aluminum :D

leadfootedfool 05-03-2002 11:10 PM

damn!!

mpbiv 05-03-2002 11:11 PM

and I pwn page 4

leadfootedfool 05-03-2002 11:13 PM

i was talking about a hot shower due to the discusting thought of sheep haha. I put my tranny back in my neon tonight that was about as fun as putting myself in the belt sander.

mpbiv 05-03-2002 11:17 PM

LOL no belt sander accidents yet. Although I have seen somebody get hit in the head by a flying piece of debree(spelling?) from the CNC in our machine shop. Also seen someone get zapped by the tig welder. In retrospect its funny luckily no one got hurt seriously :D

leadfootedfool 05-03-2002 11:18 PM

BTW whats the deal with ufs sae car?? I have a friend in architecture who really wanted to join the team and said everybody was rather rude to him so hes never been back. My brother also went and said the same thing. I got both started in autoxing and they love it and are both gearheads.

USF doesnt currently have a formula sae team but myself and a couple friends are working on getting one started the funding has been the main problem but at least were getting it rolling.

mpbiv 05-03-2002 11:19 PM

Guess I need to get AOHell/GayOL instant messenger so that I dont keep doing this :)

How come nobody uses MSN or ICQ they are less gay than GayOL messenger? (well ok maybe ICQ isnt)

leadfootedfool 05-03-2002 11:21 PM

just get trillian. makes all your problems go away.

leadfootedfool 05-03-2002 11:22 PM

thats right

leadfootedfool 05-03-2002 11:23 PM

im a whore. a TRIPLE DIGIT whore. ok nevermind.

mpbiv 05-03-2002 11:24 PM

Well that depends on what year if it was this year than I can understand their point of view. There are a few people there that have been rather cocky this year its even caused me to spend less time helping out than I did in the past.

If it was last year than I wouldnt know UF SAE was a lot better last year had more people which was probably because of the team leader.

This year there has been like 4-5 hardcore people and they let a lot of their work go to their heads. There have been times when some of the people there made me feel like what I was doing didnt help them out so I would just say screw it often times.

Last year I was hardcore on it this year kind of show up when I am bored type thing.

leadfootedfool 05-03-2002 11:27 PM

Both of them went out fall this year. Its a shame really they are both extremely talented (mechanic machinist construction creativity wise) and would have brought alot to the team.

leadfootedfool 05-03-2002 11:31 PM

And no offense but whatever the team the work shouldnt go to there heads. Its probably not that significant. Now the guys from university of michigan(i think) last year that milled there own mini v8 from chunks of aluminum thats impressive. To bad it didnt run.

mpbiv 05-03-2002 11:31 PM

Not to mention last year we didnt get our car running till a week before competition. So only the drivers got seat time so that we could tune the car. Everyone who worked on it was promised seat time which most of us never saw even after the car came back from competition.

Someone also made a rule that even if you were supposed to get seat time last year and didnt that you wouldnt get any this year unless you worked on the new car a sufficient amount. That wouldnt have been so annoying except for the person that made the rule drove the old car the weekend before so he had gotten his seat time.

leadfootedfool 05-03-2002 11:36 PM

That really stinks especially since the old car is just sitting there while the new one is being built. That would almost annoy me enough for a bolt in the intake.

mpbiv 05-03-2002 11:37 PM

I think that was not Michigan thought it was Washington something. But anyways I agree with you it shouldnt go to their heads but nonetheless they had a way of making it seem like they were the core of the whole thing and that things couldnt run without them. Consequently they are suffering from that bullheadedness cause people dont stay and they dont have the same member base they had last year (fall 00-spring 01).

As for that V8 it was badass. I couldnt go to competition because my K-car spun the bearing weeks before school let out but from what I heard that engine sounded mean but the rest of the car wasnt as great. From what I understand they only designed the block and then just slapped some 250 heads on it. They have some mad funding over there. If we had that type of funding we would have a insane car. One of our biggest sponsors is Ford and because of the whole firestone thing and the wacky economy they had to give us a little less this time around :(

leadfootedfool 05-03-2002 11:42 PM

eyes closing cant stay awake much longer.
Ive got to go to sleep but i definately want to talk more about the formula sae car. I have an aim name surprise leadfootedfool but wont be on too much this week.

mpbiv 05-03-2002 11:43 PM

Yeah it was annoying cause it sat for most of the school year. Of course right now they are in such a hurry to get this years car together and have it tuned that they have stolen or bastardized some of the rear drivetrain and suspension parts from the old car onto the new one. Most of the stuff is relatively similar. Last year our car was a 95% redesign of the previous car and this years is improvement upon that one so things like suspension points are the same. Two major changes they made from our previous car are outboard disc brakes used to have only one on the diff housing. Also last year we had the sparkies aka electrical engineers make and build our own custom engine control unit. Unfortunately it didnt work so well at competition so we got 31 place (we were 4th year before). This year we are going back to the Motec.

mpbiv 05-03-2002 11:45 PM

Hmmm I guess Ill leave my modem on all night to download GayOL messenger. I am not tired I have gotten into bad sleeping habits the past few months not to mention I drank too much Dr P :haha:

Iroc Joe 05-04-2002 02:02 PM
