update:

1) sickness (of body) has finaly been defeated. Returning to training is hard... snow is cold and hurts. Must not be made soft by tastey holiday treats.

b) am now oficially enrolled in WSU Alternate Engergy Technology program. (WSUAETP or "wi-sue-ept" as i am now coining).

iii) today at work i saw a trash container full of brand new high output alternators in one of the shops. appearantly, they're cleaning house and these were no longer of use. Of course, the MAN says i can't take them home because he's affraid i'll sell them as new. Do you know what you can do with a 150 Amp alternator? put a prop on it and make it into a wind-generator (see bullet "b"). Or hook an electric motor up to it and use it as a welder... the possibilities are endless... and there must have been 100 of these things, some still in the boxes. This is why auto companies fail.

(add to list of things to do with those alternators: sell them as new)
