Maybe?

It's this one:

Rings a bell.  I was involved in a high school competition back in 2001.  A list of what you could buy and corporate support.  Oh, and, of course, rules  Build robot, compete.  I worked with a ghetto school.  Most of the kids had not even used an electric drill or a ratchet.  The adult "experts"  were an engineer from Con Ed, an independent engineer with expertise in music, pyrotechnics and making bespoke  RC airplane kits, the school's assistant principle and me.  The work areas were a chem lab and the independent engineer,s garage.  Our robot beat the Styvesant High School ((school for those gifted in math and science) who had support from GM's Delphi electronics division.  A lot of work but a lot of fun!

Got the MRI results. They said I'm fine and to make the beast with two backs off and die.

I get the no results part but obviously you are not fine.  You need a new doctor.

That last part was implied.

Speaking of palindromes, what's a "palindromic bread"?   Anyone?

If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

Cat woke me up very early, so I took it upon myself to get a workout in and rowed 6+ miles.

So...somehow I'm a bit worn out now.

How is you?
