Nova Scotia BS Thread

No way! Tech that challenged the P. Eng. test?!?

 

Well technically I'm P.E.

I'm a 3rd class Power Engineer by trade.

 

Rad. A buddy of mine is going through his 4th class (or whichever the lowest is) classes this year. He seems to like it. All I can say is fcuk thermo hahahaha.

 

Thermodynamics is the reason I didn't graduate with honors.

He had Bill MacDonald for awhile then! Provided he was at Akerley. Bill was my favourite teacher ever. If he plans on taking his second year with Mark he's in for a real treat. The guy really puts the "dick" in dictator.

 

I've taken thermo three times, three separate classes. Ok Dal I get it, energy in = energy out and all processes are irreversible. Sigh.

 

Steam tables are my absolute favourite thing ever.

I imagine our classes were different. Yours were probably more in depth than mine.

 

Possibly. But yeah steam tables are a fantastic thing. As are psychometric tables. Fuck those formulae. Tables in general I guess *nerd alert* lol

 

I'm just glad I'm done with it.. unless I decide to go for my 2nds

 

The whole block thing confuses me lol. I could never keep track of it, albeit I've only ever heard about it from brief conversation with other friends in trades and I've not looked into it.

 

You know what confuses me? Outrageous prices on those truck parts once they hit the canadian border... fuckin outrageous! How's a guy supposed to outfit his truck without remortgaging and sending his wife to work the local corners?
All the same, Cobra CB, 295/75/16s and a bedrack, and probably some BAMF CMC plates this year.... after i get back from Cuba....
We're still waiting on SPC to get back to me on my UCA ball joints under warranty.

 

Power engineering is way different than that... I graduated a certified power engineer

 

its fucking nuts man. I wanted to import a truck. aint happening in this economy. Also for the sake of conversation you could always get the rack done up local.

 

Ya i think I'm going that route, at least I can get exactly what I want with features I'd like rather than generic models

 

Buy a small MIG machine and go to town! Recently purchased a MigPak 140 and a bottle, absolutely love having the option of welding small things.

 

Is this coffee meet happening tomorrow? My father (2002 TRD) and I would likely be interested in popping out and meeting some folks.

 

Good call man! I am still in the middle of doing up an expo rack for my tracker. never got to finishing it yet though. hard to motivate yourself to go out in negitive temps to weld something for a truck you wont have in 6 months

I think my welder is the most fun fuck around toy I have!

I had suggested Wednesday, however if tomorrow works for you, it works for me. Duncan and Mitch, what you guys saying for tomorrow night?

 

I can do this weekend as well. Whatever works.

 

lets see what the others say and go from there. It will be nice to see some first gens. I had a 96. Looking to get into that era of 4runner next. Something draws me too them.

 

Yup. Mom and dad had a 96 when we were growing up, super cool rig. So much potential.

 

I plan on doing a bit to mine when I get it. Probably start with a old man emu lift and ucas, bumpers and sliders, skids, 33's, just basicc stuff first. My main issue is going to be finding one in as good of shape as I want it to be. I'm looking for a mint (looking to spend like 7000 on a 15 year old truck here, should be damn nice) 3.4 4x4 5 speed with a factory rear locker. locker isn't terribly important but I'd like it. Will start with maintenance first and foremost though.
