New England B.S. Thread

Math was never my strongest subject (yet I'm an Engineer...). I was basically okay when math was numbers and eventually got through when math was letters. When math became Greek characters is when I lost it. I had a very poor diff EQ teacher in college who was very bad at grading. My study partner and I would get our papers back with the same grade and we had different answers both market correct. They'd be basically the same but the exponent would differ, or a sign would differ.

The final was a department final graded by a different teacher. I quickly figured out I was the one doing the problems wrong. I still have nightmares about that. I don't think I could even integrate anymore without popping open a book.

 

Math has never been a strong suit of mine, I was terrified of this class leading up to it (who the hell wants to spend good money to fail lol) but it all makes enough sense to me that I can do it now at least. I guess motivation is a huge factor in that

 

My friend and I always teamed up for math stuff when allowed in class. I would at times mess up the theories behind the work in algebra for instance. He'd know those like nothing but screw up the answer making a simple adding mistake.

He killed it in Geometry despite it not being something he ever used after. He called it math without numbers.

 

It’s been so long, I couldn’t solve a differential equation, integrate, or find a derivative to save my life. Trig, no problem.

 

I have two ways to solve stuff that's been ten years since I've done.

1. "Hey Google"
2. "Hey intern"

 

Out n about today saw some cool stuff and a few cool characters… met @Aaronjk (another kool kat) and saw @CttAznRanger

Bronco was mint, pics all kinda suck,, I was on the move!





One cool grocery getter

 

My son said Diff EQ wasn't all that hard, but Fluid Dynamics was a bitch.

 

I think it varies by the person and professor. I loved both of those classes. Fluids was one of my favorites - when we got to electives I would have taken advanced fluids just because I enjoyed it but I steered toward advanced structures and aerospace design instead.

 

@tacobell007 ,@RockfishTaco , @Brownmatthall , spc uppers…what position are y’all at?

 

Lemme go snag a pic, 1 sec

 

Looks like E or F? Hard to tell but it looks like a setting or 2 forward of center

 

Thanks! Just trying to get close enough to be drivable when I’m done.
Before

Almost done with the passenger side. Need to torque it all down and roll the lowers all the way forward. Then the other side, tomorrow.


At least the truck is hiding the gear oil spill,, for now

 

Yeah this is with my lowers cranked forward and the joint basically centered for camber, do a quick measurement for toe so it's at least ballpark'd and you should be set to get to Wednesday! Gear oil?

 

CV made a mess when it came out.
Doing lots, new oem reman CVs, spc uppers, a tie rod end, adding longer wheel studs,,,I think there’s other stuff

Making good time so far, even been tending to the rust. Might get the rear done too!

 

Sheesh, meanwhile I can't even find the motivation to redo the tonneau with the bed bars hahaha. That reminds me, do have the link to the chase lights/possibly the spotties to stick in the hoop?

Still $30 the yellow lens matches dd selective yellow!

 

These are the ones I have on my roof rack.

 

I run Icon uniball uppers, but I would say basically what Matt has

 

Alright party peeps, cheapo bumper lights (gonna try and smush 4 together under my hoop) or cheapo kinetic rope? I got 70 Amazon bucks I wanna get rid of
