so i'm back to work!! yeah. i actually spent the best 2 weeks off ever, except for the snow and cold weather. for more on that see the engine section. today, i worked on getting the tip upo fit right. i think this is going to take a few trys. i think i may be close, but at the end of the day i wasn't satisfied yet, so i'll work it some more tomorrow. it's good to be back at work.
