Hi Robert - the boys fired up their John Deere tractors and were zooming 
down Interstate 80 heading your direction. They have never had to do 
maintenance on a HASL machine so they were eager for the experience - they 
did help Steve with his wave solder machine maintenance so they have some 
idea of what's in store. Keep an eye on them so they don't get into 
mischief.

Dave

Sorry to jump ahead of you guys.
I desperately need help draining ,cleaning & reloading a 800 pound monster 
HASL machine.
I keep a periodic chart right by my head, Used to sleep with it under my 
pillow way back during PChem.
For people who deal with Chemistry or Physics the Periodic Table 
(Originally produced by the Russian Dmitri  Mendeleyev)  is still one of 
the most useful tools one could have.
By the way we are in Galax, Virginia, so Clumpy and Kloumpios might want 
to consider bringing a fiddle & banjo even if just for looks.

Subject: [TN] NTC Friday Element Quiz Answer

Hi folks - Here is the Friday Element Quiz Answer:

The Question:
This element has an atomic weight of 258.10. What element is being 
described?

The Answer:
The element is Mendelevium (Md). Mendelevium's most stable isotope has a 
half life of 51.5 days. However, only a few million atoms have ever been 
produced and only by one atom at a time! There are no commercial 
applications.


The winner of the weekly element quiz is Robert Welch, Moog Components 
Group,  and  he will get the services of Clumpy and Kloumpios for the 
week.


So far Clumpy and Kloumpios have done the following:

- 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
- 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!

Week 28 Steve Gregory

Week 29 Steve Creswick
