some good luck and a bit of fun

It is that time again, where I can't be bothered writing this but I know I should, kind of want to kind of don't.
 The title is a bit of how I remember today I can't really remember why but I will try. It was a good day, the morning ride was a bit colder than yesterday but with my full thermal set up it wasn't bad (loving the goggles now they don't fog as much, but at one point on monday they did blind me with sun glare and almost run me into a traffic island) morning was very interesting considering didn't do any practical stuff, Andrew like Rob but in his own way makes things interesting. I am sitting here thinking they are different forms of interesting/funny but can't explain it, both good interesting people. talked about testing, different meters and methods of testing and stuff like that. Also explained how a transformer works which was very cool but every time he said the word I imagined robots too I must admit. He also kept mentioning (mainly to do with the transformers) the best name of a substance that has now become a kind of sci-fi catchphrase if we can remember it (Just remembered another one our first aid tutor had about "Peas, Carrots and Corn" concerning vomit. Good times) I have it written down here otherwise I keep forgetting it.

"Cold-Rolled Grain-Oriented Silicon Steel."

Makes us sound smart, and somewhat like a Judoon as we determined ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJ_pj31YdrY if you don't know what they are, or just like hearing them :D )

"Col-Rol-Grol-Orl-Sol-Col...Stolo"... Now I need to have fun translating other things into it...

Anyway, The afternoon was spent with Neil doing maths which was a bit more fun than it was last week, in the time we weren't trying to absorb his Scottish accent there were a few funny moments and some actual learning at some points...

Otherwise managed to get a top for my still today hurrah and hopefully will get the rest of the pieces tomorrow so then will just need the putting together and something to distill ( have some things to try )

For now I will probably sleep, lots to do in next couple of days, including but not limited to sleeping in.
