Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Training & Misc.

I started a new training for my work. I am now working my way up NDT. I hope all this time spent away here would translate into more money in the future. To tell you the truth, I have not written anything lately, except for some gibberish poems that I wrote in the middle of the night. Two o'clock in the morning was great for writing, since it was very quiet, but you must remember that I was writing in the middle of the night. My mind tends to wander and I wrote whatever pops into my head.

I had a discussion with a few friends on how the ancient Egyptians could have moved those great big stones they used to build their pyramids. My answer is that they used a type of balloon, hot air or gas, that allows them to lift those quarried stones up the pyramid. It is the most logical idea and cost effective way of moving large object that I can think off at that moment. If you don't count ESPers mind levitation as a possible answer. =)

Cheers!

The Week In Review

I guessed I have not posted anything in a while. I am making a note of the things that happened to me lately.

A few days ago I was in a hurry to go to work. I was still a little sleepy and trying my best to get ready for work. I was in front of my front door trying to lock it before leaving for work. I reached inside my pocket and proceeded to push the button on my alarm keypad. I was surprised to hear my car chriped behind me. Instead of my house key I grabbed my car alarm keypad in my pocket. I instinctively pressed the button and it took me a few seconds to realized what I was doing. [sigh]

Last Saturday, Lady Steel saw one of my car tire was flat. I went and proceeded to change the tire. I changed the tire by the numbers, as I was thought by my father and friends. I loosened the bolts before jacking the car. I proceeded to remove two of the bolts, but the other two were stuck. I went and tried to use more force and felt one of the bolts loosen up. I thought the impact wrench used by the tire shop to install all four tires just replaced the lug nuts a little tight. I turned and turned the tire lug nut wrench until I heard a pop. I looked down and I torqued off the nut from the bolt. The bolt post was broken in half with the rest of the bolt inside the lug nut. A little miffed, I went and tried to remove the other lug nut, but it was stuck like the other lug nut. I tried loosening the nut, then I tightened it, then I loosened it again, until I felt it give way. I went and used some WD-40 to help lubricate the lug nut. When it finally came off, I noticed the threads from the post was stripped. [blink] [blink] [sigh]

I drove my pick-up truck, while I tried to find time to fix the car. I drove it to work. It was 1:45 in the morning, when I came out of work headed home. It was a little chilly and the front windshield was fogged up. I started the engine and turned on the wiper blades. I cringed as I heard a scratching noise, like fingernails on a chalkboard. I looked up at the fogged up windshield and noticed that the wipers did not clear the windshield. I hopped out of my truck to see what was the problem. I saw that I was missing both my new wiper blades that I changed a few months ago.
