Back to work

And now I'm back to work. After being on the road for basically two months, I've found it very difficult to get back into any sort of rhythm. I'm slowly getting there though. Unfortunately, I accidently threw out all my notes that I made while I was at my parents house. They survived the entire 11,464 mile trip only to be thrown out when I cleaned my room. :(

Anyways, I've made some more progress on this proposal. Up to 40 pages now. Still feels like I'm missing a lot though. Tomorrow I'll flesh out the conclusion and then it should be fairly presentable. I'll of course continue to work on it.

The webforums have been fairly quiet while I was away. I guess everyone else also went on vacation. However, someone did find a place to get these vibration dampening grommets that look very promising. I'd like to test them in my motor thrust test-bench.

Starting tomorrow, I'll also get back to work on using SolidWorks. I picked up a book back in May, hopefully I'll be able to master it before the semester begins.
