Yes

Birth order is very big in fshd and well, he is from Tucson.

We relocated to Payson temp and are making our way to Flagstaff perm.

Hoping to start learning about high MPG vehicles and maybe homemade alcohol fuels and algae oil fuels. Have made producer gas but not sure I want that as a primary fuel.

When I was a senior in high school, Arizona State sent me a packet promoting their Materials Science department. However, for some reason, everyone that I knew wanted me to pursue computers instead. When I went to register for classes, the Materials Science ones were full, except for a one-credit introductory course, so I took that and two computer courses, Introduction to Programming and Digital Design Fundamentals, but I needed to drop both, and still do not have anything leading me to a career.

Materials science has continued to interest me, though.

My degree is in wildlife biology, but now I make a career off of computer programming. For the last 3 years I have been a programmer for a company in the petroleum industry. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you ;-)

I'm Marcel, and Air Craft mechanic. I've had "a" geo metro since '92, (at least one). I love the little cars. Put over 230,000 miles on them all together. Every vehicle I've owned I want to keep normal, but get the HIGHEST MILEAGE POSSIBLE!. I've been chasing 70mpg since '97, finally got it about 8 months ago. Then just 2 months ago on another much less modified. I'm now going for : 100 mpg on my "project" geo metro, and my goal for my '91 Chevy Blazer K5 is : 20 city/30 Hwy.! That's a TOUGHY! But I believe I'll come real close very soon. If not then go to dual exhaust/flowmasters. If not after that then it's going to be time to change the final drive ratio from 3.77 to 3.42 that'll get it in there for sure! I've got my wife's '93 Toy Corolla getting just under 30 city, and 54 on the freeway.
