-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.

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!
