This element was discovered as a result of experimentation with electrodes
for batteries. This element is an important industrial chemical. A hydride
of of this element makes an effective booster for rocket fuel. The pure

Week 9 Tom Carroll, Boeing
- Tell Clumpy and Kloumpios to get on the first available flight to JFK, I
live a mile from the JFK AirTrain station in Howard Beach, NY. Clumpy and
Kloumpios can help me prepare some flammability burn test samples for an
FAA project that I'm working on. After that they can go fishing in Jamaica
Bay and catch some dinner.

Week 10 Louis Hart, Compunetics
- Dave, this victory is the capstone, the gilding on my career...end of
this month I'm officially retiring. Clumpy and Kloumpios help will be
welcome in clearing out the office. Not sure if I will stick on TechNet or
not...it's been a big part of my life for most of the past 20 years but I
may go on to do something completely different.

Week 11 Tom Carroll, Boeing
- Sorry for the late reply but I was busy showing Clumpy how to perform an
FAA Test Setup Conformity for an explosive atmosphere test and then Clumpy
started to tell me about the new dimensional transport system attached to
his John Deere tractor. Clumpy said explosive atmospheres were the least of
their problems during development this new technology. I can report that
everything is working well with the new transport system. Clumpy arrived
with a "Poof" in my backyard and he immediately started fishing off my back
deck, explaining that the new transport system makes him very hungry
whenever he uses it. Clumpy says that he hopes Kloumpios is having a good
time with Scott Decker, wherever he is, and that he hopes to stick around
here for a while since he likes watching new technology being tested.

Week 11 Scott Decker, UTAS

I hope everyone has a awesome week!
