Yep. I just finished engineering school this spring, and I've gone through my fair share of pads.

Green Paper is by far the most commonly used engineering paper. It's fairly thin, a little less than printer paper. I mostly used this paper for scratch calculations and everyday homework.

Buff is a bit thicker, but still has the same layout. I liked using this when doing hand calculations that would be included in reports or labs.

For notebooks, look for a Lab Notebook or Engineering Notebook. There are a few options out there, and it depends if you want a spiral or bound book. Computation Notebooks held up very well, and helped preserve my notes.

Another note on boots....I personally hate lace up boots in Minnesota for day to day use. Like someone said earlier, you'll take them off when you go in someone's home. You'll spend a good 5 minutes taking them off and another 5 putting them on. Find a pair that you can easily slip on and off. I got a pair just like these 2 years ago, they work perfectly

This brand provides nice warmth without a ton of weight...IMO it allows you to kill a layer or two.

I have [this $7 antenna] (http://smile.amazon.com/RCA-ANT111F-Basic-Indoor-Antenna/dp/B000HKGK8Y/) and it gets pretty good reception in uptown. Here's [a thread] (http://www.reddit.com/r/cordcutters/comments/27kjgy/please_help_with_vhf_channels_reception/) that helped me get better reception on the VHF channels -- specifically, using [these measurements] (http://www.kyes.com/antenna/rabbitear.html) for the rabbit ears length.

A good U-lock is kind of the gold standard for security. Chain locks and cable locks have to be super hefty for me to trust them. Also, learn to lock it properly. Wheels can also be stolen. Getting skewers that are not quick-release isn't foolproof but it does add some security.

You likely won't need the socket wrench combo, unless your wheels are bolted on with hex nuts. Otherwise, a patch kit and a bike multitool will cover 95% of your on-the-road needs, plus a pump. It's not the smallest option but I'm a big fan of the topeak road morph. I also carry tire levers and a normal (non-combo set) 5mm allen wrench, since it's the size I use most.

One of the tricks to winter riding is to ride through the shoulder season so you can gradually work your way down into lower temperatures and figure out your layering. Much easier than going from summer riding to commuting at 5 below zero.

I ride 35-38s now, and 23-25s in the past and have never bought a studded tire. That bike would be perfect in the winter. If you're apprehensive, go to a shop and get some marathon winters; they're like ~$50ea on amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Schwalbe-Marathon-Winter-Studded-Allround/dp/B001K72VO0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1506697732&sr=8-1&keywords=marathon+winter

I have this series of books and a pretty heady technical manual if you want to borrow them for some light reading. I'm assuming you want to build bicycle frames and components. Let me know if you have any questions about layups or molding.

I also remember WITC had a composites materials program that they closed due to lack of interest. The industry is not really here and probably will never be without some huge gains in technology. The cure times are much shorter at higher altitude like in Colorado(+4000ft), it doesn't make sense for actual production of parts here (830ft).

John Dillinger Slept Here. Fascinating read about St. Paul as a gangster haven in the 20s and 30s

I keep two scrapers -- a long cheap unit with a brush and plastic scraper for moving bulk, and a brass scraper for taking ice off the glass (if needed).

I guess if there was a long brushed scraper where it had a brass blade protected under a plastic one that'd be cool -- don't want to mess up the paint or mess up the brass -- but I don't know how much I'd want to be spending, anyway.

This is a plagiarized title and most of the content is probably plagiarized too. https://www.amazon.com/High-Cost-Free-Parking-Updated/dp/193236496X

Hell yeah. I wore sneakers (best cushioning) most days to walk to my ad agency job (1.1 miles) through many winters. Get a few pairs of woolrich 10-mile hike socks. I swear by them.

And get something like these. There will be a few days that are almost impossible without them.
