Cap City Build & BS AF

Lucky! At the time, I wish 20k was all I had.

 

That's just for a year....so, @ 6 years....that's $120k....lol.

 

@scottalot


how you been buddy? Been a while, I feel, disconnected.

 

That's more like it.

 

Yes! Especially when you install $200k plus fiber cards in a Cisco 5150. Fuck a static strap!

 

2 words....Academic scholarship

 

That actually sucks af! At most I was at 50k

 

right...lol.


But at $3500 for 6 years I'm only looking at $21k total.


We typically get more than that back on our tax return. So, I'll just send my tax check to my student loan corp every year and we can call it good.

 

Wait, 21k total? For 6years?

 

What do you want to study?

 

did FAFSA not take care of all that?

skill set i wish i had.

 

I can probably do that. I'm maintaining a 4.0 currently. I have somehow taken courses that I shouldn't have been allowed to take, so I'm dealing with arguments with my new advisor since I'm a "Non Traditional Student" who is also a Distance Learner.


My first Academic Advisor placed me in a few 300 level courses that pertained to my degree the first semester and I aced them...and now my new AA is freaking out because I don't have any baseline testing to go off of. No ACT or SAT or Compass testing....lol. She wants me to do compass testing and shit....I don't wanna do it. lol.


I could probably apply for some academic scholarships, I'll have to look in to it.

 

No, I basically got audited by a 3rd party for FAFSA. They really wanted to make sure I was who I said I was.

 

Yeah, you don't have much going for you in the ways of hardship. Have a few kids, and they'll start tossing stacks of cash at you like you're a stripper. Promise.

 

Its worth it though. I've had fun in a lot of my classes. The online system (BlackBoard) is set up much like TW...lol.


A whole lot of forums...and I get to troll a little. Its a bit like shooting fish in a barrel though, all these young, inexperienced kids.....I just lead them to their own hanging most of the time.

 

The first 6" or so of the pinch weld is stiffer'n'a a wedding dick. (You should still be familiar with that) That's why I cut most of the metal away with a cut off wheel. . Grind it "clean" so it welds easy enough. I got a good clean weld that probably made it water tight. Then I hammered that flat as I could get it. At that point, try to get a good build up of the flex seal (or other suitable sealant) I've had the front tires stuffed far enough to get on the bump stops navigating a few rocks (as far as they'll go) and I'm nowhere NEAR the pinch weld now. That's with 33"'s. I've looked at a few trucks with 34" tires (285/75/17's) They start getting closer. 35's are a squeeze. They'll rub other places first. Some trucks with 35's and ALL with 37''s end up cutting part of the firewall to get good clearance at full travel during a full lock turn .

 

Hey y'all - gotta do a drive by. Busier than a virgin at an Arkansas family reunion. Hi/bye!

Apologies to any Arkansans who've actually deflowered family members, but sorry/not sorry...

 

I did all conventional "in state" and paid my way (with MUCH help from parents) to get through the 4 years at Purdue. The 3 years at Rose Hulman were paid via scholarship and some help from a co-op program from American Honda. That was always my rationalization for racing dirt bikes. It got me a second degree. Beat on doors. Ask for help. Take advantage of any programs, grants, aid, etc....Someone will get 'em, might as well be you.

Do you drive down to Bowling Green often?

 

Have a nice day Cap!

Good morning, y'all!!

MATTY! How're you doing? How was spring break? I've missed your face around here!

I wanna touch! It's like nerd puzzle pieces....
