Hey, Mister!

In Missiles today, the instructor handed out Mardi Gras beads before the start of class. Both Lee and I had the same thought about 10 times in 30 seconds. You see, the beads were recovered from his hurricane-damaged house in southern Mississippi - they had been flooded. Lee asked the question: so, um, were they washed? (They were.) So we all got Mardi Gras beads.

In class, Gloyer (instructor) changed the parameters of the project yet again. Lee and I were both of the opinion that about another two weeks of engineering would finish the analysis, then we could work on the report and PowerPoint. Now, we have a bunch more stuff to consider and analyze and study before we can begin on the report. When it comes to engineering, if you give me a target, I am pretty good about hitting it. I can even go the extra mile on the project when the mood strikes me. What really, really irks me is changing my target mid-design. In this case, it doesn't affect the design at the stage I have it right now, but it seriously changes the timeline. I am not happy with the way this class has been run.

After class, I tried some of Amy's mom's chili with corn and no beans. I'm not a huge fan of any chili, but this one had a good taste to it. The corn was a little weird both in texture and what it did to the overall flavor, but I ate all that I microwaved for myself (which wasn't much - again, not a chili person). I kept looking for the other vegetables to make the soup. I also remembered as I was driving back to the apartment, that I'm not sure anyone put the chili back in the fridge. I think I remember it still being on top of the fridge when I left, but I'm not sure now.

It got late all of a sudden. More tomorrow.
