Is the Jack Pine called that because it looks now like it consumed too
much Jack Daniels as a young cone head?

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.


Sincerely,

Subject: [TN] NTC Friday Element Quiz Answer

Hi folks - Here is the Friday Element Quiz Answer:

The Question:
This element was almost named aldebaranium. What element is being
described?

The Answer:
The element is Ytterbium (Yb)! There are very few commercial uses for
Yb. 
It does find some usage in specialty steels. Yb dust and powder can
explode and it may be toxic if inhaled (no one has tested that fact yet,

its just theory). 


The winner of the weekly element quiz is Paul Reid, PWB Interconnect
Solutions Inc., and he will get the services of Clumpy and Kloumpios for
the week.

Clumpy and Kloumpios had a grand time at the Erie County Fair - they did

enter their John Deere tractors in the tractor pull event but didn't
place. They have been discussing a number of "horse power improvements" 
they plan to do when time permits. 

There will be no FEQ next week as I will be in Beachburg ON Canada
whitewater kayaking on the Ottawa river and the boys wanted a break to
do yard chores. The next FEQ will be on Thursday, August 29th, with the
clue being released between Noon - 3PM Central Standard Time USA.

So far Clumpy and Kloumpios have done the following:

Week 22 Phil Kinner
- assisted with ????

Week 23 Guy Ramsey, RD Circuits
- The boys arrived on Saturday as promised. Stayed at our place,
StonebridgeFarm, 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
- assisted with ????

Everyone have a safe week!
