Found a good deal on a diecast 1:250 scale United Airlines DC-8-51F for only US$14.00 (they're normally cost around $60.00, but GeminiJets discontinued the 1:250 line a while ago).

Post pics. Let's have a look.
I know this is a bit late, but I've been exhausted from work as of late.

Welp, I was wrong. Got elected to Student Senate! Out of the 24 seats available, I placed 19th and was 4th out of the eight freshmen who ran (four freshman were elected). I am quite pleased.

rave 2: good music, easy homework, and an early bedtime for me.

Alk right! Stud Muffin in the seat of.power. Congrats! Truly.

Now, the humourous plan:
become president, dissolve the senate and set up the first Students, RAs and TAs Soviet. My troops will arrive shortly after we find Justin Bieber and bring him to justice.
 
@CivGeneral: thank you. That's a beaut! What a bargain, too -- and the old United design. :goodjob:

I love aviation. My father was in the USAF for 22 years, ran commercial airports for 14 years and now volunteers at the oldest running airport in America.

A 10-3 win in soccer makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.
10-3? Nice. Bagel toast with PB for everyone!

Rave: back in my home state, today. Wedding Friday and since this is the Scottish side, I get to wear my Tartan design tie with impunity.

I think I might need to have a celebratory peanut butter bagel after every game I win from now on :lmao:
 
I just bought plane tickets!!

I am flying to Bangkok in about 2 months and don't really have a solid plan of what I want to do. I have been doing research and so far it seems that there is enough to see and do in Bangkok to keep me busy for a couple days.. There's also a neat ancient capital just north of there, and by all accounts it's probably worth visiting.

After that I might head to Cambodia to see Angkor Want and the surrounding temples, see Phnom Penh, and then.. I'm not sure, but there is a beach in northern Vietnam that seems really sweet, so I'm going to research whether I'd have enough time to bus by the coast all the way north through Vietnam. Then I could cut through Laos, maybe do a hike there, and end up back in Thailand.

I also want to see some Thai beaches. I have 31 days, or just about 4 weeks if you take out the flights , and I don't want to rush it either... I think the details might all depend on my meeting with a certain native Thai friend I am meeting up with over the next couple weeks for advice.. She was just on a trip there with her boyfriend and is originally from there, so she should be able to give me a lot of good tips. There is also another friend of mine who is travelling in the region in December, so that might affect my plans as well.

This should be awesome... I'm pretty excited!! I have 3 large projects to finish at work before this happens, but no pain no gain
 
Team Leader: "Hey Hobbs. We want you to redesign the thruster you've been working on."
Me: "OK...."
Team Leader: "Oh and we're moving up your deadline."
Me: "To when?"
Team Leader: "Tomorrow at 4pm. We want to move your design to production ASAP and use it as a test bed for the bigger satellite. Ok?"
Me: "Ok...."


In four hours, I redesigned the entire thruster and designed a bunch of all-knew components we never even discussed, by myself, with paper, pencil and a frakkin ruler.


Can I call myself a steely-eyed missile man now?

If you weren't already married, Susan Decker would be knocking on your door! (Dude, you -really- need to watch Real Genius so you can start getting these references)
 
Nope...for real.

I'm heading up a team to develop, build and fly a cubesat with a novel propulsion system.
 
Man, I'm about to cry manly tears of pride for you, Hobbs. :salute:
 
Why did you have to design a lot of components everyone knew about?
