Well wish me well time to try the 4 hill route 2 chilled water bottles to take and a quart of water cooling in the fridge for when I get back. Damn I'm not looking forward to this.
By 2 chilled water bottles I assume you mean water bottles filled with ice cubes and then a little water to fill the spaces.
 
I only had him for one class, but his tests sure made me make sure I was prepared. Most instructors you could figure out what was important to them and what you needed to study for their tests. For Kottman, you'd better just study everything.

My first ever history exam was Kottman.
After Kottman explained that the exams were designed to take 2 hours to complete and we would have about an hour, a girl asked him what we should study, and the guy next to me almost chuckled out loud (he had tipped me off about studying everything). From there:

K: You need to study everything in every one of those books you were supposed to read, everything from those films you were supposed to watch in the library, everything that I have said in every one of my lectures, and everything that I meant to say but never had time to say.

G: Dr. Kottman, Dr. Kottman, that sounds like a lot of information. Can we use our books, or notes, or neighbors. (The panic was strong with her. She was blowing off the class.)

K: (Lowers his eyes) Young lady, if you think you can use your books, notes and neighbors and still answer these questions satisfactorily in the time allotted, you just go ahead and try.


She tried. She didn't take the second exam.
 
Da Faq? More power to you GTO, maybe a long time ago I could have figured that out but now it's just a big NOPE!
Pshhh, I don't remember much of it anyway. Haven't used my chemistry in 15+ years. My career just took me in a totally different direction.
 
So where do we meet up to talk about the disposition of NWICY's stuff? Pretty sure if the weather is like it is up here today that he is not going to make it.

Running errands earlier I put the top back UP on the old Porsche and ran the air.

I just ran two miles indoors at the gym (which I despise doing) because no way I could do that outside! Be safe!


Now whether or not to do my five miles before work tomorrow or when I get home....

I don't like sad endings. They make me sad.
 
I got pulled over doing 70 in a 55. The cop let me off with a warning. Is that super nice of him or is that pretty typical? I don't have anything outstanding against me.

If you look like your forum picture, then ya definitely not hard to imagine.
 
Welp survived ride, actually went ok. Strong head wind cut me down to 7mph on the flats going straight into it. Used just over 2 bottles of water refilled 1 half way thru and after climbing (crawling but no walk of shame) last hill used the better part of a bottle to soak me down good to cool off. Wind was still strong and helped on the last 1/3 of ride was hitting 18-20 mph on the flats with a little roll, usually down shift a few gears on the rolls just left it in top gear and kept pedaling. Weather started out overcast for 5 min got sprinkled on with the sun out LOTS of wind whole trip. It was pretty hot and humid the whole trip.
 
She scored so high that she didn't need the other exams. She earned her entire degree based on that exam.

The class I took with Kottman was a large lecture, he comes in and starts the class with the statement of "look around you half of you won't be here when the class finishes." I thought he was hard but fair and pretty nice to talk to outside of class.

Cancel vulture watch.
 
Dad got his flight medical denied with more questions to answer. Not sure he is going to jump through many more hoops to try and do this. :sad:
 
volleyball went well. Word has apparently spread of our victory Friday night and tonight's opponent called in as a no-show 30 minutes out. No one bothered to tell me (captain) so I could tell team. Probably all would have been on the way anyway.

So we played four on four during our time slot which was great practice (and fun) since four of the people hadn't played.

So we are 2-0!
