Sledding with Engineers

My friends from and I decorated sleds as part of a Christmas challenge this year. Since we're all electrical engineers, the designs were a bit strange. Two of them had lights, and the others had some stylin' (or embarrassing) paint jobs.

On Sunday, we took them out to a hill in Oconomowoc that has a bad reputation among the EMT's in the area. There are a lot of injuries on this hill, because it's steep, tall, and ends abruptly in a ditch. Luckily, only one of us needed to be hospitalized after this event, for a dislocated shoulder. He handled it really well. The whiskey he'd been drinking helped to numb the pain.

Here's a photo of the sled that I designed. The ground effect lighting was really fun to watch as it went down the hill.

Aaron. That sled looks awsome. Two thumbs up.

Too bad for the fella that got injured. I'm sure HE was glad he'd been drinking. -g-
