Re-Tooling TBL

For several years TBL was a blog where I wrote about a wide variety of topics. Those postings are still in the Blog Archive and many are about professional development for engineers. I am now transitioning TBL to be a place where my current and former students can find information related to job searches.

Going Green (or Orange)



Well. I did it. I said on an earlier post that I am sick of paying car

payments, insurance, and gas bills. I've put my Jeep in the Herald Review and it will stay there till it sells. Today I bought the Honda Shadow in the top picture. It is a 2005 with only 800 miles on it. It will get over 40 mpg and here is the insurance bill: $149 for the year! Yeah, driving a motorcycle is probably a little more dangerous. This is the 5th motorcycle and 2nd streetbike that I have owned. I know how to drive one and will be a very defensive driver. One thing is for sure I won't be paying $65 to fill the tank.

Hey Ronald...that's gonna be a pretty sweet commuter for wintertime...wait...let me guess...you'll offer some extra credit for students to come pick you up?

Don't fall for it collegians. He can't fail all of you. Stand together!
