Bridge here, bridge there, bridges everywhere

Today was not as productive as I wanted it to be; I did run this morning but I was not able to make any more progress on the papers for my different classes. I did come up with another bridge design...this one is pretty simple, it is about as close to a "plank" style bridge that I would like to get. Like I said before, I would prefer for the bridge to be a little more elegant than a board to get from one place to another; that's what bridges in the industrial age were for...


I had a lot of trouble trying to book my flight to Germany...ran into issues concerning my use of an American based bank card for a European based airline. 


Hopefully Jordi will not suggest to be even more basic with the bridge, I would like to stay with a design and start to "build" it back up again...since last week I have come up with about five different designs for the bridge, surely one of them has to be a winner! This one goes back to the basics and utilizes a simple truss system. 


Pretty laid back day other than that....tomorrow is another long day!

  1. I know I asked this once before and you replied. (It's somewhere in these danged archives). When is the best time to skype you? I get home from work around 6:30. That would be about 12 midnight for you, I think.Is that too late, or do you have capability on the weekends?

    1. Sorry to hear you were sick, but glad you are back and feeling better! And yes I am starting to like this "photography" thing so I will be up for going "shooting" when I get back. As far as skype preferably towards the end of the week...Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Really anytime on Friday and Saturday, Thursday 6:30pm (12:30am for me) would be fine...I don't have class on Friday mornings. Just let me know, most of the time I am on skype anyways.
