Week 46 Ian Fox, Rolls-Royce Control Systems
- Oh goody, plenty of microsections to do on some long term thermal cycle
samples so that will keep them busy for the week. And a happy new year to
all in TechNet land.

Week 47 Fred Cox, Bluering Stencils
- Great! We can use the help here in South Jersey. The boys will have to
hurry. Lots of stencils to get out. If they do a great job, maybe I'll take
'em to the Eagles victory over the Vikings.

Week 48 Tom Carroll, Boeing
- The boys will help with an early spring cleaning of the house. I'm
getting to old to bend and clean all the molding and radiators around ‎the
floors. I figure the boys are short enough to easily reach and clean these
surfaces. After they are done with that they can help me approve some
Corrective Action Responses from some suppliers and then help make nachos
and salsa for the Pro Bowl this weekend.

Week 49 ????
- assisted with ????


I hope everyone has a awesome week.
