This weekend is looking a lot better weather wise than last.I may spend some time jamming this weekend.Hope you have a great day. Be blessed.   In my interview I told the manager that I wanted to be a scarecrow engineer. A man outstanding in my field! I got the job!

Going to be “Up North” this weekend. Hopefully the smoke subsides….Be blessed in what you do…  Don’t know if this counts, but a female engineering student was told that she was lucky because she had so many “options” for a potential boyfriend.To which she replied, “The odds are good, but the goods are odds…..”

Smoke is heavy in Michigan from the wildfires out west…. Can hardly see the beach in Holland:https://spyglasscondos.com/live-stream/ The bridge has disappeared in Mackinaw:https://www.9and10news.com/weather/cams/mackinaw-city/ Nor can you see the locks in Sault Ste Marie:https://www.9and10news.com/weather/cams/sault-ste-marie/ Makes you appreciated clean air.

Beautiful weather weekend in Michigan this weekend. Hopefully where ever you are, you are able to get out and enjoy the creation around you. Have a campfire. Roast some hotdogs or brats. Watch the stars come out one by one. Maybe have a s’more - if you need an explanation then “You’re killing me Smalls!” Shoulder to the wheel.Ear to the ground.Nose to the grindstone.What an awful position in which to work.

If you are in the States, be blessed over the long weekend. Celebrate 250! Light off some fireworks, but be safe. There are two types of people in this world:1.            Those who cannot extrapolate from incomplete data

Soon to be halfway through the year. Are you still tracking good on your resolutions…..  My Physics professor told me I had a lot of potential before he pushed me off a roof

For those in the States, do you have plans on this Father’s day.My father had his 100th heavenly birthday this year, oh how I wish I could talk to him….   My dad told me "Every tool in the workshop is also a hammer. Except chisels, they're screwdrivers".

Yesterday, all four World Cup games ended in a draw.Last time all four games played in one day ended in a draw was 1958.

For all the soccer (football) fans out there enjoy the games for the next few weeks!!  Why did the engineer bring a ladder to the party?Because he heard that the drinks were on the house.

What are you plans for the weekend? Getting together with your Father? Be blessed. Our math teacher did not lie; we are still doing word problems: If the soccer game starts at 8:30 AM & is 30 minutes away & the football game is at 9:00 AM & is 20 minutes from the soccer game; both kids need to be at their respective fields 30 minutes early, what time do you leave? Extra credit: How much of each game will you actually get to see?

Hard to believe we are 5 months into this year…How are you new year’s resolutions going?Enjoy the weekend. Spend time with your Father this weekend.  How do engineers stay cool.... What do you mean….… they never were cool!

Monday (Memorial Day in the US), we will be remembering those who served our country and gave the ultimate sacrifice. I will be hosting a breakfast along the channel at Holland State Park. An eclectic group of family, friends, family of friends, and friends of friends. Are you doing anything special this weekend?  How do engineers stay cool… They vent their problems.

Mild spring day today. Enjoy your weekend. Hug the ones you love. Maybe twice…   Do you want to hear a joke about engineering drawings? They are tearable.

It is going to be a beautiful weekend in West Michigan, the final throws of Tulip Time.Did junk food and watched the Dutch Dancers last night.What’s your favorite carnival food?  Why was the circuit finally happy?Because it was able to find a connection.

Hope you had a great weekend. May the 4th be with you.

Had a great time in Vegas!! Have terrific weekend. Trying to get unburied. Which of the 4 is most different from the others... A. A PhD in Mathematical BiologyB. A PhD in Theoretical MathematicsC. A PhD in StaticsD. A large pepperoni pizza Answer:BAll others can feed a family of 4.

If your going to Vegas next week maybe we will see each other….  I recently called an old engineering buddy of mine and asked what he was working on these days. He replied that he was working on “Aqua-thermal treatment of ceramics, aluminum and steel under a constrained environment.” I was impressed until, upon further inquiry, I learned that he was washing dishes with hot water under his wife’s supervision.

The beef here is served in: 7oz, 11oz, 13oz, 17oz, 19oz & 23oz portions.   It's Prime Rib!!!

Modern manufacturing is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by stricter regulations, increased awareness of workplace safety, and a growing emphasis on sustainability. Among the many changes shaping this evolution, the shift toward safer rubber chemicals stands out as a critical development. Industries that rely on rubber materials  — such as automotive, industrial equipment, healthcare, and consumer goods — are increasingly prioritizing chemical systems that not only deliver performance but also meet evolving safety and environmental standards. In this context, companies like I R Tubes Pvt Ltd  are part of a broader movement supporting more responsible material solutions.

PI Day is just a fake holiday created by math companies to sell more math.....

Blustery day today.... Gonna get a nice fire going in the wood stove after I get out of work. No real big plans for the weekend except going out for dinner tonight. Cook gets the night off...     MY AI MODEL WASN’T ANY GOOD, AT ALL, UNTIL I GAVE IT SOME RAILROADS.   NOW IT’S GREAT AT TRAINING.

Don't forget to spring forward this weekend. An extra hour of daylight afterwork!!! When do you typically move you clocks? Saturday evening. Saturday right before bed. Sunday morning. The VCR / Automobile - when I get around to it. Clocks, what clocks....     I DROVE ALL THE WAY INTO WORK TO GET A NEEDED COMPUTER PART.   IT WAS A HARD DRIVE
