Actual Engineering!

In what is becoming a sadly rare event, I have spent almost the entire morning today doing actual engineering design. Not paperwork, not error-checking, not fixing things other people broke.

I've designed a new metal part from scratch. Ah, the wonder of it.

I spent some of my morning wake-up time today figuring out what things would fit in what pockets of the LBE (Load Bearing Equipment) I just got. I was pleasently surprised at how big the side pockets were; each one will take a full MRE meal and a second entree. The LBE has a hydration system with a 3-quart bladder and a sipping tube; quite nice for my preferred hydration technique.
