13.3's to 11.8's to Forget it...

It's crazy that Uncle Craig's father my grandfather is actually in the book of Who's Who... he was a wizard electrical engineer who actually has his name on a plaque at the Hoover Dam.. I remember him telling me the story of when he went to see Einstein talk at a university in Washington and telling me it was so far above has had it seems like gibberish but it was still cool seeing the mana...and my uncle Craig's Sons how they made it through their childhood I'll never know are computer whizzes and Engineers themselves.. Uncle Craig has always been one of those people who trashes everything and himself to death and never has anything and never will. Someone you can't stand listening to for more than 5 minutes.... But that was an example it can be done...
My grandfather on my dad's side was also a brain as well very smart man and did very well in the stock market. Was always the head of one of those stock market groups and things like that...

I haven't asked for one thing from PRH as far as qualifiers... First off he is straight pertinent questions and give straightforward answers. he doesn't talk about picking up poop and donut and pepper and poop and he doesn't talk about stepping on his dick and all kinds of crazy stuff like that... and it's definitely not got thrown off the forum under a different name for being a raving lunatic...


For the last part...I can't help it if you have no sense of humor.

For the first part...that's pretty damn cool. Anyone who can get his name on any dam is pretty dang spanky.

I have the utmost respect for the guys who engineered and built all this stuff long before the computer was even a thought. Incredible people.

If you've ever seen an Oakland engine, essentially the forerunner of Pontiac, the engineering required just to make the tooling to machine the raw castings, the engineering required to develop the the mold to even cast that shape is unreal. With zero computers.

And that's just one example. Look at any old mill, or lathe, any old machine tools and they are engineering marvels.

I'm in total awe when I see these things, and throw up when I see that stuff get scrapped.
