Slide 4: "Careful attention was made to how the components were assembled during the teardown"

The verbage doesn't sound proper, I would say "Careful attention was given to the assembly of the components during the teardown."

Last page last sentence, make it: "By performing a few simple engineering calculations, reviewing past lessons learned, along with strict adherence to your companies design guidelines early in the design process you can produce a lamp that delivers the best possible performance, and avoids issues as well as expensive tooling changes."

Otherwise it looks real good

Im driving for the same company as you and mike, I see the contrcts but i dont see where to bid or any links to do anything with the contracts

you dont bid on the contracts, the company has contract managers who do that. that jobs best left to guys who know the environment a little better for now anway.

the way you see the contracts is click on the "company contracts" link on the left then "my company contracts" at the top.
right now we have 2 contracts to do the same route, electronics to veracruz

Electronics
Veracruz - Veracruz - Mexico
1,908 (Approx. 95 Loads)
1,273 (Approx. 32 Loads Left)
1/30/2008 - 2/6/2008
$1.50

see where it says 32 loads left? gotta keep an eye on that. if you dont get to the source city before those loads run out, you lose out on the contract run.

I've been round tripping salt lake city/phoenix. Hopefully I'll have enough money within the next week to pick up a newer truck.

That gasoline backhaul to la pez would be much more lucrative, but it's a long haul with a pos truck and I would have to refuel my rig once. Going to Albuquerque will burn over half the fuel I have less and it is a terminal city so I get a 10% discount on the International 8200. I think the next stop after I get my truck is to get some tires in La pez

That's the plan. I bought the tires to increase the max truck condition. I'll repair it, then sell the tires right before I sell. I've been reading the company forum. They have some good tips. We'll see where I end up after this run. If I can buy that truck and keep $500 in my pocket, I'll do it. Actually, we get 10% off trucks so I should have $1100 left over at a minimum.

I feel like shit, but not as bad as I did yesterday. I think one more night of taking some NyQil and going to bed early should do the trick.

No. Ever since Nags bulled some dirty moderator trick to add 10,000+ posts to his count i pretty much gave up.

the problem is cotton is soft and can be combed. If you come up with something make sure you patent it. Stoners are lazy and would pay for something like that.

I got my federal form filled out with the exception of the following:
Need to get the address for the place I donated some bags of clothes.
Need to figure out how much I paid for registration this year
need to look and see if I filled out an itemized schedule A in 2006
Need to have the tax lady double check how I filled out the self-employment for the bike deliveries.

State isn't too many new questions and they transferr most of the information over from the federal section.

its gotta be tough enough to break the weed, but not so tough to crack seeds.

maybe 2 rotating drums spaced 1/4" apart with sharp spikes sticking out.

Like the thing you have right now?

You have to make sure the stems get seperated as well.

the grinder i have now is great once the seeds and stems are out. but if there are seeds left in it, it will crack them open making them harder to remove after. I think the big stems would have to come out by hand ahead of time

steps:

break out big stems by hand
loosen seeds with sharp spikes
seaprate seeds using a vibrating tray
weed chunks then go into a grinding mechanism
