Q: How do you tell a controlls engineer from a systems engineer?
A: A systems engineer looks at *your* shoes when he talks to you.

We got back to our place. The workshop is gone, along with the
project. The house survived, with some minor exterior damage. We
were very, very lucky, the houses on either side of us are gone. The
iceplant (that my wife hated) around the house helped. So did double
glazed windows, cement shingles, stucco walls and well watered lawns.
I'm sketching out a system with a gas driven pump, running sprinklers
on the roof, in the trees and along gutters. I don't have a pool to
suck from but the neighbors do, I might try to talk him into splitting
the system with me, while he's rebuilding.

I don't know what I'm going to do about the airplane. I'm not going
to start again from scratch. So if I can find a project, or a flying
homebuilt that could use some upgrades, I think I'll buy. 4 place is
my only hard requirement.
