Girodisc





Went and helped Ben down at Girodisc.  They make top end high performance brake assy's.  Pretty awesome to get to see him turn his own brakes from his Audi.  We had a nice surprise later in the day when the WWU formula team showed up to test out the suspension on the formula car.  It really wasn't running too hot but it was still really neat to at least see the diagnostics and data they were picking up, even though I don't really know what any of it means.

It is amazing how much I have learned from just a few weeks of practicing the most basic electrical systems.  Things that I have learned from it that I can carry over into other specialties:
1) K.I.S.S.  Keep it simple stupid.   It is very easy for me to get over complicated.  I need to remember that things can be difficult unless viewed in its simplest form.
2) Take my time.  Don't rush through anything.  Don't assume anything either.
3) Trust my data.  Sometimes the numbers don't add up, but as long as my testing is done correctly it can be simple again.
