Hey man, good going. Proud of you - - tough sledding when you are young and sitting in class is sometimes a bore. Better now than when you have three kids and trying to make it full time and still eat. Hang in there - - it will pay off. Excellent lines you chose to set you up for a good career.

Congrats Rick! Glad to hear it...

Oh man I can remember being in school and hitting the highest score for our finals on transistors for the entire school. It was a tough one, studied my butt off for that test only missed one out of 200. I can tell ya I was sitting on cloud nine after getting those grades back...

Does that mean that you can help me process cetane out of chrysophyta now?

Or I guess you'd be in on the bigger critters like praying mantis's, ladybugs and flies.

Go home, cuddle with your girlfriend for a few days, listen to "For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)" and get caught up on the rest of us here on this site with no life.

WAY TO GO!

Now I'll be the father figure: "If you don't get that "C" up to at least a "B", you'll never amount to nothing!"

I work for USDA

IN conjunction with a local SOil and Water conservation district, or is it the other way around? bah! oh well, i do both district and fed work, and practice checks and standards for certain federaly funded practices.. I will work for the bridge tho, im already set up with a real good friend who has seen me through my college carreer, and i will start as a 7, and have possiblility for promotion up to an 11 level.....I am a chemistry minor and about Cetane, its an alkane, single bonded, not as strong as an alkene (double bonded yet shorter molecular bond legnth) yet stronger than the seemingly weak alkyne, triple bonded, Cetane is a basic carbon molecule, needless to say carbon is the meat and potatoes of Organic chemistry, if im not mistaken its a 9 carbon molecule, seein as propane is 3, butane is 4, heptane is 5, hexane is 6, i forgot 7, octane is 8.. hmm maybe a seven or a 9, but i know decane is 10... and as far as gf.. what gf? too much time and money... i just got outta 2 year relationship and she cheated, so right now i dont need it, rather talk to several and decide which apple i wanna bite.. so to say...

AS far as father figure goes, yessir...

Didnt know you can find a second dad here on the forums.. boy what a surpise.. thanks tho
