Well other than being a unemployed .com slacker, I'm a professional water craft racer as a privatier racing for a local Yamaha dealership.

Part-time college student + part-time worker at a camera shop = not nearly enough money for my Seven.

Hi Dysthymia,

Do you want to sell some parts off of your wrecked '86 GXL?

If so email me at wdwflash@aol.com. Also, what part of Wash. you in?

I build and configure $150,000 computers. LOL, HP-UX business systems, a little more than a computer.

I get to fix them once they are out in the field...Except IBMs dont break that often :notify:

I forgot to add that the injectors on a EMD diesel are about a foot and a half long and weigh about 20lb(just a little bit bigger than the ones on a Mazda.) The engine puts out 2500hp. I worked on one ship(steam) that had 35,000hp and 880 ft long(not much in the quarter mile, but once you got it going nothing was going to stop it.) Its was also full of bombs for the Dept of Defense.

Aren't those the GE engines they also use in trains?

The PA-RISC systems or the new Itanium stuff?

No, the GEs are different engines(but we have those also.) The EMD(Electra Motive Diesel) is made by a division General Motors. Both of them are used by the railroads, although the EMD are used a lot more than the GEs. The 12 cyl I was working on last night has about 7748 cu. in. The turbo for one of them weighs more than a second gen RX7!
