Week 100 Denny Fritz, SAIC
-Early this week, they will be working as editors/proofreaders for the Technology and Supply Chain Roadmaps we are working up for Department of Defense.  Any chance either has a security clearance?  If so, we may give them a peak at the "Trusted Source" program we are working for circuit
board design, fabrication and assembly.   All this is under the DoD
Executive Agent for Printed Circuits and Electronic Interconnects at Crane Navy Base.  Later in the week, we will get them a tour of some of the biggest and best deposits of calcium in the US - the structural limestone mines just south of Crane here in Indiana.  Can you say - Pentagon or Empire State Building? And, with freeze warning on Sunday AM,  and falling leaves - I can put their John Deere to work at home this weekend.

Week 101 Mark Kostinovsky, Schlumberger
-I usually try to give the guys some rest but not this time. They will be helping me with cleaning up the mess that Patricia's tail (Houston received
9.38 in (238 mm) of rain during a 24-hour span from October 24–25) created in my little back yard. Nothing serious though. So we should be done in a few hours and then they can relax for the rest of the day

Week 102 Tom Carroll, Boeing Defense, Space and Security
- The boys that they can join me next week in Perdido Key, FL and help me with my golf game. I going to be on vacation so the boys can relax on the beach or come with me and help me get that elusive Hole-in-One that I've been trying to bag for the last 40 years!!!
