As you notice, this is my second post...

My first career was as an electrician, through the apprenticeship program, worked on every thing from new residential to nuclear reactors.(18 years)
Second career was the eng school thing in electrical,(5 years) third was the actual employment in engineering design with cad backup.(5 years)
Have now moved into Program & Project managment with a leaning to the highly technical project and research facility. (its good to be a hard as nails geek with an automotive petina)(3 years), much to learn.....

Career Highlight: A family owned company recently bought a family owned company and was/is expanding....dropped my resume in and the flew me to frankfurt, then zurich and drove to hinwil where the operation is, the interview was excellent, but at the end of the day(figurative) they hired a german, working for the competition in Koln. (language and location were the main concerns), but man, what a ride......

I have owned and driven BumDoubleYou's since before they were cool, the first being a '71 2002, (this is a long list)

I now have:
'73 2002 (soon to be tomato cans)
'72 Tii Driver
'73 Tii Project
'72 3.0 CS (wifes)
'87 535i Exclusive Edition, Individual (E28) Auto.......bummer....!

I have a BS in Mechanical Engineering from Chico State and yes it is a party school but aren’t they all! I've been in aerospace since graduating and I've designed lots of cool stuff for the A330, A340 and the 737. I lived in France for over a year and was a flight test engineer for the A330. I've also designed composite satellite bus structures and have stuff up in orbit right now. Currently I'm the chief engineer for a UAV program. I was the program manager for another UAV program where we were using an EFI 36 hp Wankel rotary engine detuned to run on jet a fuel and had the opportunity to learn a lot about fuel injection. There is a lot of gratification seeing your designs coming to life and I love doing design work but I don't care for being a manager. I was thinking of starting my own business doing rapid prototyping but don't have the guts to take that initial step. This board rocks!

Ken - very interesting. As an off topic discussion, I figure you might appreciate the shower I recently built. I was looking for a vertical spa but I was outraged at the cost of fixtures and limits on sizes with standard systems. As a result, I decided to build a complete custom vertical spa using "industrial" plumbing mounted on the surface of 100% granite walls. With 3/4" pipes and a high-flow thermostatic regulator I can move some water. While it is not energy efficient, reguires two 75 gallon water heaters, and a drain pump, it will get you wet in every direction at once very effectively. On the system I have: 1 rain head, 1 standard shower head, 1 rotating shower head, 1 wand, and 1 dual head side spay zones. I also added a bucket filling zone for convenience. A few photos for everyones amusement:

I have to ask.
What the hell were you thinking?
As a licensed plumber, it appears that somone learned how to solder and went off of the deep end. Or had a Jagermeister moment.
3 seperate anti-hammer devices and all of your work.
Have you added a sunroof to your coupes engine compartment also. Make sure that you run the drain tubes to the radiator tank.
