Sorry, I couldn’t think of a better title. It’s rather early for me to be getting up, so I’m tired. Anyway, I had my final for Drivetrain yesterday morning (yeah, I know… morning… weird), which means that I am now finished with the “core” classes at WyoTech. I fared rather well, getting about a 93% in Drivetrain even though it was the hardest class. It was kind of an adventure, but I’ve decided I really don’t want to rebuild automatic transmissions in the field. I can tell you what all the parts are and what they spline to in a 4T65E, as well as what the power flow looks like for each gear, but the actual overhaul is something I don’t want to go through again. Manual transmissions, transfer cases, and differentials are much, much easier. Anyway, I believe this should keep my average above 90% for the core. w00t. So now I move on to Street Rod after the break. Needless to say I’m quite excited.

For the break, I’ll be spending the first week back home in frigid Minneapolis. It should be fun though, because I get to be there for our usual Christmas activities. I am actually getting two weeks off, but the school didn’t let us know soon enough, so my plane tickets are only for a week of staying there. That’s okay though, because my big bro is flying back to Sac with me and we’re gonna hang out in Cali for the second week before he flies back to Minnesota. Not sure what we’re gonna do out here yet, but I think it will involve some coastal driving. We’ll see I guess.
