Thanks James, 

This time the boys will get to do some REAL work, they each have scoop shovels and at present are shoveling piles of U-O2 pellets for refueling the cook pot.  We are in the middle of a 60 day refuel outage so their help came at an opportune time, the majority of our contract crew left this evening, (laid off).   They are however complaining that it is hot and they have been working in dry suits and sweating profusely, and they have no beers to drop, not allowed on the property.   I offered them Gator aid but they just laughed.  I asked them if they knew anything about electronics and they could work with us technicians, but they just mumbled about John Deere tractors.   They will be working the next 3 days around the clock, they will get rest when they are done, we have to get back on schedule.  

Pat

Well there was I thinking what a great week!  I'd won the Technet Element of the Week quiz, my manager was on holiday, and I'd snagged pre-sale tickets to next year's Within Temptation concert at Wembley.  Could it get any better?

Then I walked in to The White Hart at Eynsham, ordered Red Kite beers and sat down to savour the pint before the rest of the Oxford Hash House Harriers pack arrived.

The next thing I know a guilty and haggard looking "Mummies Boy" handed me a map and said, with an increasingly rasping voice, "I'm ill *cough* here's a map, *cough*, you're haring".

At least I had Kloumpios and Clumpy to help out (thanks lads).  Apparently it was the best trail I'd never laid.

I sent them off to Pat Goodyear's whilst I still had some beers left.

James

Subject: [TN] NTC Friday Element Quiz Answer

Hi folks - Here is the Friday Element Quiz Answer:

The Question:
This element is found on the moon. If this element catches fire, water or
CO2 extinguishers will not put it out. This element's oxide is found in type M stars. What element is being described?

The Answer:

The element is Titanium (Ti)! Titanium oxide bands are a prominent in the spectra of M-type stars. These stars have a surface temperature of 3200C and are red in color. Titanium is the ninth most abundant element in the earth's crust.


The winner of the weekly element quiz is James Head, Crowcon Detection Instruments Limited, and he will get the services of Clumpy and Kloumpios for the week. The boys were quite excited to be heading over to his facility as they had a great time on their last visit. And to answer Bev Christian's question, yes, the FEQ clues are going to be more difficult this time around.


So far Clumpy and Kloumpios have done the following:


Past Quiz winners/tasks:
Week 1 Dick Krug,  Spartan Complex Systems
- Clumpy and Kloumpios arrived and were happy to get some warm weather. 
Saturday they helped rake leaves (yes it's fall in Tampa) then went to the 

Florida State Fair.  They seemed most interested in some of the new tractors, muttering something about the closed cab would be a more comfortable ride, but they also took advantage of the opportunity for Fair 

food.  I couldn't believe how much deep fried food they ate - Snickers, butter, burgers, ..., you name it.  Yesterday they didn't feel good so just sat around in the sun most of the day. This week I'm going to pick their brains on how to improve our ECN implementation process.  If they can't contribute much I'll send them back to the fair as sort of a winter vacation. 

Week 2 Laura Turbini, IRC
- assisted with ????

Week 3 James Head, Crowcon Detection Instruments Limited
- assisted with ????


Everyone have a safe week!

Dave Hillman
