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.
