Cool Runnings

Tracy took the kids to Cool Runnings, a family toboggan park today. They rode a bobsled-like cart down a stainless steel track. They enjoyed every minute of it. Mark called it exhilarating!

I taught the first day of my Thermal Energy Systems postgraduate module today. Topics included the world energy situation, oil, and thermodynamic cycles. I assigned a “tutorial” in the late afternoon. Students responded well and worked diligently. Tomorrow’s topics include gas turbines and coal and nuclear plants.
