Week 14 Matthias Mansfeld, Mansfeld Elektronik PCB Design and Assembly

- the boys arrived last Friday, spent the weekend at some carnival events here around (quite cold and rainy at Tuesday, but with the help of some bavarian beer and a lot of mulled wine, they came back in a very good

mood........) Later the boys finished the RF toroids from last week, delivered the stuff to my assembly house, where they were really surprised about the *poof* apparition in their backyard....., and maybe they will tomorrow go snowboarding with my big daughter and some friends in Tyrol..

Here in Bavaria we have currently one week school holidays.



Week 15 Bhanu Sood, NASA

- Clumpy and Kloumpios arrived safely from EU…swearing never to fly discount airlines again, repeatedly citing experiences that are so eloquently described in this youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6pj3Fdbwng

Soon after landing at Dulles, Clumpy and Kloumpios drove to Goddard Space Flight Center where they toured the NASA campus including an up close viewing of the James Webb Space Telescope which just completed multi dof vibration testing. Although a clean tent currently covers JWST, Clumpy managed a selfie before it gets moved into the Goddard acoustics chamber where it will be exposed to the noise levels that arise from an Ariane 5 launch.

Both Clumpy and Kloumpios totally want to experience what 150 decibel racket would feel like. The boys are enjoying a warm week here in the DC area, with the cherry blossoms almost a month ahead of schedule, nobody’s complaining!



Week 16 John Maxwell

- Picked Clumpy and Kloumpios at Dulles with the usual grousing about long flights. Because this is their second visit I reminded them of their first visit when the exhausted my collection of single malt scotch and found the keys for my lawn mower. The neighbors had not forgotten them terrifying neighborhood dogs and making unusual patterns in their lawns.



The lads understood and went to work clean up my documents and standards.

We had snow on Tuesday and they pitched in with the neighbors clearing drives and side walks. On Wed I took them to the Manassas Bull Run civil war battle field so they could understand our civil war and our history better. Thursday when work was done we visited a couple of cider vineyards and wineries. They enjoyed the Jefferson style hard cider very much. After we were done on Friday off to a distillery for a tasting and lunch. Then off to the airport for their next adventure. Perfect gentlemen and they seemed to enjoy the side trips.



Week 17 ????

- assisted with ????





I hope everyone has a awesome week!
