Random Update from Body Team

Dear reader, thanks for your patient (or impatient) waiting for the new update, which I had promised to post one month ago. As said, this is a somewhat random summary of random events that happened from winter break to last week.

During Winter Break …

He that would perfect his work must first sharpen his tools.

In home depot, Srini was carefully selecting materials for our big sanding platform construction. (However, the bolts were all wrong and I had to go buy them again)

Lack of money is no obstacle. Lack of an idea is an obstacle.

Since we did not want to spend extra money on delivery, we figured out a way to transport those 10 feet long pinewood back to UBC. That is, to tie them on top of the car!

Everything is funny as long as it is happening to Somebody Else.

There was a minor problem with this solution—Srini and Chris had to get in and out of the car by climbing through the windows. Too bad I forgot to take a picture of Srini got out of the car with hands first!

Haste in every business brings failure

Without much thought on practicality, Aaron, me and Srini quickly built our first sanding platform, which was high enough to allow us to sand comfortably. Yet we soon realized that it was impossible to lift our crazy heavy plug to this height.

Failure is the mother of success

Thankfully, we quickly rebuilt another platform, which works out just fine.

First few weeks of School …

It's blood, sweat, sometimes tears

After some incredibly painful labor, our plugs are finally ready for hardcore sanding. (Srini and Morgan sanding inside a tent)

Safety is our number one priority!

A reminder from the safety officer: you must wear a mask and cover all at all times!

To know the road ahead, ask those coming back

Supermileage alumni (Kevin, Firman, Jon) came to visit the team. Kevin (the one holding the wheels) was giving out suggestions to the rest of us.

Bubble tea is truly the source of my passion and energy—Srini

Jon, thanks for treating us bubble tea.

Food is the most primitive form of comfort

Finally, homemade spaghetti from chef Morgan, yum!
