How's everything going in WY?

[baconator [OP]]

i cant wait to get out of wyoming.  i used to think i lived in the middle of nowhere haha.  anyway im going into my last week of chassis fab and i have the highest grade in class.  i finished my shop comps early this week (means i passed) and have a good roll on my additionals (better shop grade).  soon i will be learning custom suspension systems and all that goodness.  graduation is june 19th and im going home to get a job and get to work on some project or another.

ya ill let you know.  my buddy from high school is a mechanical engineer so we will be able to build some sick out of that big silver shop of mine.  when we get a prototype built you will have to come check it out.  im thinking about building mini-sandrails with streetbike engines for sale along with other custom stuff.

somewhere between here at the midpoint of my adventure and when i decided to go home the locking hub broke and the rotating cap came out and my grease left the hub which led to the destruction of my wheel bearings on my way back to town.  lucky for me the bearings didnt completely grenade and i made it back to my girlfriends apartment where it sits until i find the socket i need to get my lock nuts off.  stay tuned for more pictures
