Hi Greg - sounds like a great plan, although, putting Clumpy and Kloumpios
in a vineyard may be considered a high risk situation for the wine
(Kloumpios is very knowledgeable about wine). They loaded their John Deere
tractors onto a freight car and said they would call you when they hit the
Lisle station.
As a follow up on the FEQ, there was a very neat press release involving
molybdenum about how we are all now technically Martians - and I always
thought I was of German heritage. But that would explain why Doug is a bit
off......

Gee, Dave, I am honored!
Send them my way. Tell 'em I'll pick them up at the Lisle train station.
Since it's getting close to time for the Abbey's grape harvest/wine making
I'll get the monks to put them up at the Abbey guest house. From there
it's just a short walk to the vineyard.
Of course the food at the Abbey may be a little, ah, Spartan, for their
tastes.
But I can give them enough pruning, weeding and cleanup to do to keep them
busy all week. (Maybe I can even get them to do the water run for the
vegetable garden! They'd probably like driving the old tractor.)
And for a special perk they can have the honor of the company of Benny,
the Abbey Golden Retriever!

Subject: [TN] NTC Friday Element Quiz Answer
Hi folks - Here is the Friday Element Quiz Answer:
The Question:
This element is insoluble in acids and hydroxides at room temperature.
Sunflower seeds, oats and beef liver all contain this element. The word
"lead". What element is being described?
The Answer:
The element is Molybdenum (Mo). The name molybdenum is derived from the
Greek word for lead - molybdos - which stands for any black minerals that
historically could be used for writing. Humans ingest about 0.3 milligrams
of molybdenum per day - if your intake exceeds 0.4 milligrams on a
regular basis you have a toxic response! The foods with the greatest
molybdenum content are pork, lamb and beef liver - 0.15 milligrams per 100
grams - so if you like beef liver and onions, be careful!
The winner of the weekly element quiz is Greg Munie, IPC, and he will get
the services of Clumpy and Kloumpios for the week. I missed seeing the
boys in Canada as I was out on the river but they left a note at the cabin
saying they had a wonderful time with Paul exploring the Algonquin Park.
The next FEQ will be on Sept.12th or 13th and be sent from Melbourne
Australia (and don't ask me to figure out the time zones).
So far Clumpy and Kloumpios have done the following:

- The boys arrived on Saturday as promised. Stayed at our place,
Stonebridge Farm, and helped hang high tension electric fence for my
daughter's horse boarding operation. Sunday they helped me pull 300 hr
maintenance on the tractor, watched Caroline start (break) a horse in
training, tipped a few back by the pool, enjoyed a glorious purple sunset,
tipped a couple more while telling stories and watching fire flies . . .
took it easy.
During the week they worked on the in-line cleaner, validating and
verifying the PID setups, repaired our high pressure pump for our factory
humidification system, which without Steve Gregory's care and attention,
had started to leak. Then we kicked around possible ways to keep a 600mm
by 450mm by 7.6mm, 60 layer, sequential lamination board, with 33:1 PTH,
eight DUT performance board at .4 mm pitch for 1189 Ball BGA survive
reflow, measured z axis shift, and designed the attachment; pad, ball
diameter and stencil for the interposers. They had to rush off before we
finished developing the underfill process needed to stabilize the
interposers.
Week 24 Mark Kostinovsky, Schlumberger
- The boys have been working hard and surely deserve some break. I'm
fixin' to be nice to the boys and just let them sit on my porch, have a
Texas drink, relax and enjoy our weather. This summer's been kinda cold
around here: has not even hit 40C (104F) yet.
Week 25 Keith Calhoun, Sopark Corp
- The guys arrived safely, and I sent them to the Erie County Fair. They
loved the antique tractor/ live steam exhibit, and are now figuring out
what class their John Deere's can run in the Truck and Tractor pull.
They are also having a ball in the beer garden. I'm not sure I will get
anything constructive out of them this week but they sure are having fun!
Week 26 Paul Reid, PWB Interconnect Solutions Inc
- Well it's time for Clumpy and Kloumpios to join me for some Canadian
wilderness camping in Algonquin Park, Ontario. What we'll do is put the
canoe on the van, load up our camping gear, and then we'll head the North
East area of Algonquin Park. We'll put in on the Barron River and canoe up
to the river to a portage point where Clumpy and Kloumpios will be asked
to portage the canoe and gear for about half a kilometer, past some falls,
until we put back into the river. What we'll do then is canoe about a mile
up stream and setup camp on a beautiful point of land that over looks the
Barron Cliffs and has a pine tree every much like The Jack Pine
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Jackpine.jpeg that was painted by Tom
Thomson in 1916. I'll start fishing; they will do the cooking and
cleaning. We will relax for a few days then we'll head back to Ottawa
(given the mosquitoes don't carry us away). Dave - Maybe we can meet you
on the Ottawa River some time next week.
Week 27 Greg Munie, IPC
- assisted with ????
Everyone have a safe week!
