I got a BS in Computer Science, and a Master's degree in Business Adminsistration, both from the University of Alabama.

Roll Tide Roll!

Gotta go to the swamp this weekend. Hopefully we can end Florida's home-game winning streak. I'm not holding my breath. Maybe at Bryant-Denny stadium, but not at Florida.

Who knows.

Let me wade trough all the BS('s) here and look at what I've accomplished at Oakland County's finest: 1 yr Accounting,(Hated it!) 1 yr Phsycology, 1 yr Engine Auto mechanic's, 2 yrs Computer Aided Design. 1 yr Assorted Algebra classes (yuk!)
I ended up being the best at reading custom bluprints and soldering wiring harnesses for which I originally had no training what so ever. I also became shop foreman at said job.

I have been going through the school of life 56+ years and just when I think I have a PHD in life experiences something new comes up. As for formal education I have had more than I care to admit. The best benefit received from formal education was being taught how to think for myself and that is why I bought a Ford F150.

No degrees, just a few certifications: ASE certified in Engine Repair (A1), Electrical/Electronics systems (A6) and Engine Performance (A8). I've taken over five years of automotive college classes, but those are the only ASE certifications I've tried/tested for.
Take care,

PKRWUD: I haven't seen very many posts from you. I'm sure I speak for most everyone on the board when I say "speak-up!" With your experience I am sure you can contribute!

We would love to hear your ideas on engine performance. I know no matter what I own I am always looking for MORE POWER

kkirt1- tomorrow (saturday, October 2nd), will be my one week anniversary on this site. I have been logging on to this site daily since then, but I do keep rather busy. I enjoy helping people when I can, and will be glad to participate when time permits. I do not, by any means, know everything, so you can expect to see me asking questions from all of you as well !!! From what I've seen in this past week on this site, it is a high quality site with a bunch of really good people. I know I will be learning quite a bit here. I only hope that I can add a little something to it as well. If you want to see something pretty enlightening regarding what can happen with Nitrous Oxide, find a post I placed on this forum (general discussion) called "This is what happens when a Nitrous tank explodes". It's not going to make your truck any faster, but it is certianly educational !!!
Take care,
-Chris

Seeing that I work among Thieves, i hear thier theory on how they got to the PEN and how they were Wrongfully Accused. I guess i have dual BA/BS in HOW NOT TO GO TO PRISON and also HOW NOT TO GET CAUGHT BY TO POLICE AND IF YOU DO, LIE ABOUT IT. It took me three years to master it, now all i have to do is go out there and find out if there are any use for them or if I wasted my time on learning them. I'll let you know if it worked.
