This is one of the few photos I didn't take that are going to be on here, but this is our testing setup (with the turbine spinning in the tunnel) from today.

Today's title is about the fenders for my electric longboard, because they've been a struggle. It rained this morning, which was lovely from inside (especially from not-my-house ;), but kind of annoying from the outside. In the 7 minutes or whatever it took me to ride from El's house to my own I got soaked from the waist down, so I quickly changed pants, shoes, and socks, and then walked to class (lame).

I was also somewhat annoyed because I changed into a bunch of rain-capable stuff, and then it stopped raining right as I left for class. The pants and jacket weren't an issue, but the insulated waterproof toe shoes are really warm, so my feet sweat like hell all day.
