Way off topic, but lots of fun.

I just had to share this. It's not about CPAP.
I got to help my son last week with his robot project;

Hey that's awesome!!!! Good to see they're encouraging kids to do robotics projects! I think it's a very cool area.

And GO HOOSIERS!

I'm from Indiana, my mom lives in Indy now. Sniff sniff... I miss the sweltering Indiana summers and the freezing winters, all we get here is rain. and rain. and more rain. and no thunderstorms - miss those too. and NO basketball waaaaahh. /end rant.

Thanks for sharing that

Very, very nice! My son was very involved with the FIRST Robotics Competitions when he was in school, and now he's involved as a Technology teacher. I am constantly amazed at the robots these kids come up with!

Sorry if I missled you. But my son is 37 and the Automation Engineer
for the same seed company I work for. He re-programmed one of our
palletizing robots to shoot baskets, and I helped with the pneumatic
'kicker'. This setup was used to entertain our annual 'field show' guests.

Your responses did take me back, over 20 years, when we made the
Science Fair circuits. We did finish very high in the State Finals one year.
It's really nice that not much has changed between me and Number 2 son
in a couple of decades. (Sorry, about the ramble, but my tears keep
making the keyboard wet).....
