Hey I'm learning about this stuff in my matE courses, fun stuff, it's really cool how you can get such dramatic changes in properties with such small changes in composition or treatment
Story for you Booley. I was looking over my times this evening from Autobahn and decided to look up another guy who I thought may have raced there. No luck at White Marsh, but turns out he used to race in the Jessup league with you. A Mr Ken Fitzgerald. I doubt he remembers me, but he used to drive the vintage Lotus race car that was owned by the doctor dude whose daughter I was banging about 10 years ago. Small world...
Took 2nd in the B main tonight. Set fastest lap of my race and 2nd overall for the night...until your lady frn Alison knocked that time to 3rd fastest by 2 thousandths in the dying laps of the A main.

You're a semester ahead of me then by the sounds of it. Since everything is a pre-req to everything, I moved Materials/Lab to the right one semester so I could get back on course for mechatronics senior year.

I like 304. Had lots of it from mah work for welding practice. Cleaned up pretty.
But hey thanks for making me look stupid. Definitely not working for me anytime soon.
You wouldn't pay me anyways bruh.
Besides you know the drill; the people that know silly things make good money. But someone still has to pay them. That clueless individual should be you.
