GUESTS
Del Metcalf, Kevin McCarthy, Shawn Teichmann, Michelle & Jacob Dick.
Membership Vicki Fultz, acting as a stand in for Eric Steinle, swore at new member Kent Harris.
Probably shouldnt plan on getting away with reading the oath for too much longer, Vicki Fultz.
Shawn Teichmann got mugged for his second visit, as did Kevin McCarthy.
TUIT REPORT
Sharla Meisenheimer apparently never got the memo about having to pay a dollar for getting rid of the tuit. After attempting to nail Doug Foss, Jason Jones, and John Knipp, she borrowed a dollar from Vicki Fultz and sent the tuit to the cleaners. Be sure to check with Scott Saylor as to its condition and well being.
PROGRAM:
Darren Wicks introduced our own Chuck Peterson, of Peterson Predictive. Chuck uses Infrared Thermal Imaging to do non-intrusive inspections. He can inspect electrical motors, controllers, panels, poles, lines, and is even branching out to inspecting dogs before they go to a breeders auction. The camera can sense temperature changes from up to 300 feet away.
The cameras were huge when first developed, but were then refined and perfected by NASA. The current state of the art is slightly larger than a small hand held camcorder. Chuck says they are on sale this week for only $36,000 per unit. The uses for this camera are only limited by our own imaginations.
He is now providing energy conservation inspections, checking for heat loss in insulated buildings and homes. He can check for water leaks in roofs and walls, and provide information regarding damage inside a structure before tearing out walls or ceilings. Home inspections are priced on a per job basis, but there is a two hour minimum at $100 per hour.
Club Announcements
Next Meeting, April 30
Big Hat President
Stan McGirvin (a.k.a. Marvin)
will introduce our own Joel Cash of
Network Management Group, Inc.
Joel will update us on office
technology and “spyware.”
Brian Carlton: Jeff Brewer asked that we all remember to pray for Brian Carlton, the young man injured in the bike accident on the bike trail. After a lengthy hospital stay, he will be in a rehabilitation hospital in Lincoln, NE. There will probably be numerous opportunities for our club to assist Brian and his family as he transitions to a life with limited mobility.
Installation Banquet:June 4 Lots of Entertainment Ambucs Dignitaries Lots of Fun Details To Be Announced Dont Miss It
Committee Preference Sheets: Vicki Fultz wants your name on a Committee Preference Sheet, and she will do almost anything to get it. If you dont turn one in, she may even fill one out for you. Assuming you have a preference as to which committee you help out, maybe you ought to turn one in. Otherwise, you could be assigned to being the key keeper for the president (this job also requires paying the fines when she loses them).
Big Hat Breakfast: By the time you read this, you probably missed the Big Hat Breakfast on Tuesday morning. Call Stan MacGirvin for details, or call Doug Foss and see how last weeks meeting went.
FINES COLLECTED
The Toilet Times Apparently Brad Thompson forgot to bring enough reading material for this weeks trip to the pot. Keith Schroeder was hit for being late, and his table mates were chastised for not greeting him in a loud attention-getting manner. Bob Bush paid for bragging about his golf game, and Rod Fry got fined for either day dreaming or actually paying attention to Bob and his gold yarns. Naturally, Vicki Fultz lost her keys again, and Brad Thompson attempted to extort some of her big winnings from last week. Brad has been around enough women to know better than to think that money would have lasted a week. The key auction was short and not very entertaining, since we all knew we would have many more opportunities to buy Vickis keys, every Friday. Good thing we have RCAT, in case you need to get somewhere without them keys.
On a much brighter note, Sharla Meisenheimer passed out Its A Girl cigars, since Friday was Adoption Day for Alisa Fultz. Congratulations Vicki, and good luck.
