Yes the reason they try to push the pods are you don't have to liscense
them, where as the trailer has to be liscensed and all the BS that comes

There was a story here years ago about starting a diesel engine in the cold.
It was a russian or east europe guy that would crumple up a piece of

would come to life. Not unlike the heat gun system - that I like.

Currently no, but I do freelance consulting on the side, so I
sometimes end up using it there.
I'm mostly self-taught when it comes to Inventor, took a college
credit course in Computer-Integrated Manufacturing through RIT when I
was in high school that got me started with it.
