Steering designs: FINITO!

Bwahaha! The steering designs are done. Suddenly I have a bit of free time @ home. Now I can actually get ahead on some work.

Aaaaahhhhh...... And now the cut and thrust of the job is just to build the bugger. There's a bigass lump of 6160 grade aluminium in the workshop (about 100 bucks worth - Ali is #$%@in' expensive atm) with my name on it, that will be going along to some poor sap at Bluuescope to build, and the rest will be in house.

Which reminds me, if anyone who reads this can find a supplier that sells Apex universal joints and can sell me Military Specification MS20271-B12 Universal joints for less than $400 a piece (they should be about $250 at most you cheap ass ripoff artist son of a bitch!!! - refers to the Australian supplier I found), could you let me know?

BTW, if there's anyone other than the named contributors of this blog (i.e. Brianna, Az, Ads, me) who actually read it (or are reading it now!) then please leave a comment on this post - I just want to see if there's anyone other than us that reads this.

Cheers :)

SO not doing FSAE again next year.

All I really wanted to do was some manufacturing. Turns out that's all anyone wants to do and no actual designing. Wait, scratch that - everyone wants to drive, many people want to do the manufacturing, very few want to do the design work. How the hell did I get lumped with this job anyway? I'm only in second friggin' year! BASTARDS!

Anyway... I'm supposed to try to have some models done tomorrow, but noone has replied to the various emails I've sent out requesting assistance. So bugger them, right in the ear. I sent out the help requests on Thursday night at about 12:30. If they can't reply in that time BECAUSE THEY WERE HAVING A FRIGGIN' DRIVE TEST DAY ON LAST YEAR'S CAR WHILE I HAD A 7 HOUR DAY AT UNI AND WENT STRAIGHT TO WORK ON THEIR CRAP WHEN I GOT HOME then BUGGER THEM!!!!

But I bet I'll still cop shit at next weeks meeting.

This had better look fucking good in my CV.

Meanwhile, just got back from Anna's party (which I don't feel so bad about going to now, because I still had nothing to work with on FSAE...). Went pretty well. I dressed up like a tool, but I looked the part, so all was well.

Maybe I should go do some reading and then go to bed. Looks like another hectic mother F#$% semester at uni.

G'night.
