Hide your knives!!!

360jules,
Are you working at Insitu? I have designed the electrical systems in several of their buildings in Bingin and evaluated a large building in Hood River for them. I think they have a real future. Good connections with Boeing I am told.

Hey, we don't need anymore Busse collectors at Boeing!

Congrats Troy, just stay away from the a Steel Hearts with all that new money!!!
 
I have nothing to say but the Valley Tin Works banner hasn't been in this thread enough
 
INFI nose cone + UAV = tank buster!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D Congrats on the new job!!!
 
Unmanned Aerial Vehicle?

That's just a fancy schmancy term for a discarded beer can before it hits the ground....:p :cool:
 
Many congrats, Troy!! Hope they appreciate how good a man they've now got on their team. :thumbup:

You are right about it being a heckuva commute --- [size=+1]62 MILES ONE WAY![/size] :eek: :eek: Hope you love driving Highway 84 a *LOT*. ;)
 
Congrats, if you show half the enthusiasm on the job that you've shown here, then I'm sure you'll do very well. Good luck and stay awake for the drive, it's the most unsafe part of most people's work life.:thumbup:
 
Alright Troy, I guess this will be alright. But we don't need someone else with employment getting in the way of going out to play with knives.:rolleyes:
;) :D
Seriously though, Congratulations! Now go order that FNMOABATAC!:thumbup:
 
A little more VTW banner-dom...

360J -- you've made a good job decision. I'm well aware of what goes on there. It's excellent work with a looooong 'tail' on it. There are opportunities for fun as well as profit. And you will be serving your country (that never hurts).

As for UAVs. We've had 'em 'around' for well over a decade now. First curiosities, then prototypes the generals/admirals used to snicker at behind closed doors, then real contributors to ISR...and now, fully operational. They've kept more than a few pilots and ground pounders alive.:thumbup:

The more politically correct in the halls of government prefer to call them: Unoccupied Aerial Vehicles. [First heard that PC term at War College...]

I'm sure we haven't stuffed everything on them we should -- lots of room for innovation from our brother, 360Joules. And while he's busy innovating, perhaps he won't have enough energy to scarf up all the free-floating INFI.:D
 
One of the cooler things about certain UAV models (e.g., the Hunter) is that they use an engine from Moto Guzzi, the great Italian motorcycle manufacturer.

Compare the engine in this picture:

with the one here:

We Guzzisti take great pride in this.

Nope...it's not Insitu, but close. We do a lot of work on their aircraft for them. I'm not real comfortable naming the company at this point, because I don't know what their feelings are toward this, but I'm pretty excited nonetheless.

The 62 mile commute each way isn't too bad, really -- it's a beautiful trip. I'll have to post some pics of the drive and area soon. :D
 
Congrats 360!!!

Just one more HOG to dodge on the way to the trough...

Heavy ain't worried.:thumbup:

:D



no idea why I am refering to myself in the third person lately....maybe it's cause Heavy's got 5 kids and ain't slept since '93...

This sounds like a perfect reason to get a motorcycle. I mean "a fuel efficient personal transportation apparatus".
