She's a freshman majoring in Applied Mathematics & Statistics and made the Honor Roll her first semester (missed Dean's List by a single point). She had a ton of AP work done (which she aced) when she showed up, so she basically started at the sophomore level. The plan is to have her come out of Mines in four years with a Masters. She just interviewed for an internship with Deloitte last week-- I spent a LOT of time coaching her, so hopefully that goes well.

Yeah, we're pretty proud of her.

PS: My undergrad was Earth Sciences/Geology as well!

And here you're a pilot and I spent most of my career in IT. Go figure.

Excellent watch!

I'll try to get a pic of the watch my dad brought me that was his father's, apparently it's decently valuable..........but damn is it ugly as all sin.

Excellent investment, that is, in CSM (perhaps the watch too). I graduated awhile back in what was then Chemical Petroleum Refining, aka, Chem E. Worth the investment. Good for you.

Nothing as fancy as some recent posts here, but I needed a ladder for use around my house where the ground is not level. This ladder has self leveling legs. You can extend each leg by as much as 7" by stepping on the lever at the base. It also opens up to make a straight 20" ladder, although I doubt I'll use that much.

On sale now at Home Depot for $179 if anyone is looking for something similar.

^^ hard to read.. how tall is it as a step ladder?

I don't need it, but I might want it

Specs here.

How did you go about doing it?

Mine loves her Audi Q5 but I Don't want to have it past the soon to be 50K or close to that CPO warranty miles/date

Decided to replace my Xenon bulbs in the 7.
I've had the old school Osram Cool Blue Intense that have served me very well over stock bulbs.
Now these Phillips are according to all reputable sources, the new king of HID Xenon bulbs. We shall see.... Literally.

Didn’t take too much convincing. She likes go-fast things. I planted the seed that the n5x stock had almost more power than her old car had FBO. Plus she drives my car enough to feel the difference, and saw how easy I got it from stock to its current state. (Which is still really conservative for an n54). I had shown her a few 1ers and 2ers since she likes short stubby things, which is why she’s with me

she also knows I like wrenching on bmws too so she thought it’d be a good way to have a diet project car for us to work on together.

New cam with color night vision to replace one of my older, less capable cams. Works very well. Nice clear image in full color at night.

First time I've seen this model under $110. That's why I decided to try one. It's PoE, too. I just unplugged the older model and plugged this one in. Same mount. Piece-o'-cake.
