-I need them to help me start-up a new (used) Vitronics/Soltec wave machine we recently got here. It's gonna' be fun (if that's what you want to call it), we have to fill the Vitronics with a tin wash so we can get the wave formers and nozzles out, clean everything up, and then empty the pot. Then we've got to empty the pot in the old Electrovert machine that we have and have that solder ready for the Vitronics. Then we'll play musical wave machines by moving the Electrovert and placing the Vitronics where it was sitting, then we'll fill the Vitronics again.

Week 17 Phil Kinner

- Now I have two guys to assist with four screen printer moves this week.
They're gonna love helping me perform our quality verifications, and they get to try their hand with cross section work again.

Week 20 Denny Fritz
- My first thought for Clumpy and Kloumpios was to ask if they knew how to drain swamps.  It has rained here in Indiana almost every day for 10 days, and is forcast to thunderstorm for almost ten more.  Any chance Kloumpios has any biblical roots and is related to Noah of Ark fame??  At the very least, please have Graham Naisbitt ship some wellies (Wellington boots) here to Indiana for the coming week. Only slightly more seriously, what do Clumpy and Kloumpios know about counterfeit components?  Any day, I expect to be thrown into that messy topic to support the Department of Defense.
And, what clearance do the guys have - confidential, secret, top secret, or keep-from-telling-Doug?. Can either run an XRF or SEM?  I presume they have eagle eyes, so they can observe components through our optical microscopes.  Finally, is either carrying a small spare lead-acid battery?
 Our UPS unit protecting the instruments from the too frequent lightning surges crapped out last week.

Week 21 ????
- assisted with ????


Everyone have a safe week!
