- the "Boys" and I went to Las Vegas to polish up on their comedy act. I
told them that "what happens in Las Vegas, Stays in Las Vegas". I think
they took me literally. I got a note from a Dancer that they left contact
information in the secret safe where Doug keeps the key to his Mountain
Dew stash. Their previous time spent with Graham paid off as they also
took my American Express card. I hope they get back safe.
Week 35 Don Vischulis
- It was a productive week. They arrived a bit later than planned on
Friday because their John Deeres had to slow down on the hills and curves
in the Galena area. Those buckets really affect their cornering. Over the
weekend we took in some local culture with a trip north of the Cheddar
Curtain to the brewery in New Glarus, WI. If they talk about Fat Squirrel,
Spotted Cow, Two Women, and Totally Naked understand that these are styles
produced at the brewery. During the week the boys helped me write the
trip report for an assessment of an assembly operation. Their knowledge of
the IPC specs was very helpful. They also helped compare gerber files for
replacement artwork against a sample Nd assisted with SEM work in the
Materials Lab.
Week 36 Greg Munie, IPC
- assisted with ????
Week 37 Larry Dzaugis
- assisted with cleaning out the basement. We have been here 6 years, it
will not take long. Will have a large assortment of the local sausages and
beer, not AB. Tell them to watch out for freezing rain, sit tight
somewhere warm. No one can drive on wet ice. Better to delay or skip trip
than wreck.
Week 37 Bonus Question Steve Mikell
- assisted with ????
Week 38 ????
- assisted with ????
Everyone have a safe week.
