    I see it all the time at SB Sheridan and 6th Ave. There is a short merge lane onto Sheridan from the access road that doesn't connect to the exit to WB 6th. Every time traffic is backed up, people try to use that lane and then don't get anywhere since they have to merge back in... It's not long enough to get ahead of any stopped traffic but i bet they drive that route every day and forget that they can't go anywhere.

    Now I'm multiple!! :yes:

    I do not know for sure. I have a few options, my degree is mechanical engineering, I still have a cert for tig welding tell may and I'm taking the extra classes for a machining minor or major so I'm pretty rounded out with what options I have but I do not know for sure what I want to do with them. :notsure: I still think Engineering is going to start slowing due to how many people are going into the field and that the trades are going to go up because no one wants to do them and the skilled workers are starting to retire

    Hahah ok. Been an odd day so I didn't know. That was one of he things I have been thinking about is stopping school and using that money for shop/ machines And start with that. But bumpers and what not only go so far, I do plan on going into machining and that can be very high dollar stuff.

    Errrr.... don't stop school. Finish school first, get that degree, then start shop.

    Speaking of, I think I am going to try and do a round of 10 or so of those bumpers and want to actually see who is serious about one. Because these first kits could be done before may but then I do not know how long another round would take. Do you still want a front bumper or do you like the crash bar look

    I tried college for a few months. Not my thing. Skilled trade is where I ended up. Best thing I ever did for myself.
