As fall is falling all around us, don't forget to fall back this weekend. Beware of little munchkins coming around trying to pilfer candy.     What do you get if you cross a math teacher and a clock? Arithma-ticks!   I saw PI fighting with the square root of two the other day. I told them to stop being so irrational.

  Big temperature swing coming my way today (mid 70's to the mid 30's tonight). Enjoy the ride. Throw another log on the fire tonight.     How does a mathematician plow field? With a pro-tractor.   I had an argument with a 90° angle. Turns out it was right.

Brown, red, golden, orange with a hint of green. Enjoy the color show and the trees are turning here in Michigan.   Did you hear about the over educated circle? It has 360°.   Why wasn’t the geometry teacher at school? Because she sprained her angle.

Have a great weekend. Drink some hot chocolate. Enjoy a campfire. Make some memories...     Reaching the end of a job interview, the HR manager asked the young engineer fresh out of university, “And what starting salary were you looking for?” The engineer said, “In the neighborhood of $100,000 a year, depending on the benefits package.” The HR Manager said, “Well, what would you say to a package of $200,000 a year, 5 weeks of vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and dental, company matching retirement fund to 50% of salary and a company car leased every 2 years – say, a Mercedes?” The engineer sat up straight and said, “Wow!!! Are you joking?” And the HR Manager said, “Of course…but you started it.”

Or, read more about a topic that interests you! 1. Creo: @tbraxton started a great discussion “Fill pattern using curve option; expected results” “...The example here is a simplification of an issue with a complex model. When using the fill pattern with curve grid type I am not able to evenly distribute points along a closed curve….” Thank you, @pausob, @Pettersson, @BFausto_210068, and @rburgess-2 for contributing to this thread.   https://community.ptc.com/t5/Part-Modeling/Fill-pattern-using-curve-option-unexpected-results/m-p/687926   2.

Have a great weekend. Get out and enjoy sometime in the creation around you.     How to write 4 in between 5?   Doctors said: It’s a joke! Scientist said: Impossible! Managers said: Not found on the internet. Engineers said: “F(IV)E”

Have terrific weekend. Go out and pick some apples. Watch a sunset. Hug the ones you love.       What do parallel lines and vegetarians have in common?   They never meat.....

Have a terrific weekend. Enjoy the color show going on (if the leaves are changing color where you live).     Have you heard the latest stats joke?   Probably......

Any "green conscious" community members here?     I just thought I would let you know that if you missed "Earth Day" week celebration not to worry.  This coming  Saturday, September 19th,  is another opportunity to get out and "clean something up" with your friends and families.   My family will be participating.  In New England it is great to have another excuse (or leverage) to motivate your kids to help rake up some brush or some "early faller" leaves 🙂   If outside trash pick up and leaf raking, isn't your thing, it might be a great time to do a "Digital Clean Up."  You can purpose this weekend to delete trash from your gadgets!   How are you planning to celebrate?   Register yourself for any of these "global"   clean up efforts here and be counted. Or, just pick an activity on your own! https://www.worldcleanupday.org/get-involved/           Think about what you can do for  "World

Never forget.....   Have a terrific weekend. Hug the ones you love. Spend some time at Someone's House.   Why couldn’t the angle get a loan? Its parents wouldn’t cosine.     A guy mentioned to his friend that his girlfriend is the square root of -100 She’s a perfect 10, but purely imaginary.  

Here we are 6 months after the "2020 Covid-19 Pandemic Shutdown" began. I think back to my last week at PTC Boston Seaport Headquarters.  It was actually a pretty monumental week for me at PTC.  I met my new boss @Jean-Christophe who came in from Europe just to meet me (maybe  he had a few other meetings as well) 😉 Below is a picture of our  "PTC Employee Social"  where PTC treated us to skating and appetizers at the Tuscan Grill.     Six months have really gone by quite quickly even though in some ways during this pandemic,  I feel like I am standing still.  I truly appreciate JC 's collaboration and true team spirit! JC is an incredible leader. His support, encouragement, and enthusiasm is fostering community growth and expansion.   This week the PTC Community Team was also glad to throw JC a surprise virtual birthday party.  My kids got in on the action and emptied out our "Birthday Closet" to decorate my whiteboard.

Get out and enjoy some time in the creation around you!!! Here in Michigan, it is going to be a beautiful fall weekend.     Did you hear about the statistician who drowned trying to walk across the river? It was 3 feet deep on average.   What do baby parabolas drink? Quadratic formula.

Anyone out there interested in/using a Sous Vide?     If so - let me know.  Tempting fate by following a recipe at 185 Fahrenheit/24 hour recipe for beef brisket....   Fingers Crossed!   Leigh          

Have a terrific weekend. Enjoy time with the ones you love. Spend time in His house.     Why was the equal sign so humble? Because he knew he wasn’t greater or lesser than anyone else.     I’ll do algebra, I’ll do trig. I’ll even do statistics…. But graphing is where I draw the line!  

Grab the last few days of summer, get outside and the creation around you.       Good job everyone you deserve a high five (a binary high five).            

Short story on driving into one end of a Rainbow.    

Have a terrific weekend. Make some memories.   (Re-done from The Corporate Comedian)  

This report may raise the reader's interest in PV technology. Reader maybe a current 'student of science and engineering', a graduate, and a business. The in-depth study areas are in of physics, chemistry, manufacturing, and electrical engineering. Here Mathcad / Prime can play a role. Business Case Study Developing And Commercialising RET In NZ Using Solar Energy. Purpose: Business Case Study. This report is written for developing and commercialising Renewable Energy Technologies (RET) in New Zealand which utilise solar energy for its primary energy source.   This report is prepared with the intent of an investor who is planning on capitalising commercially on solar RET in New Zealand.   The cost of the PV systems has dropped dramatically in the last years and is expected to continue dropping. From 2009 to 2015, there was 56% reduction in the total cost, 77% in the PV modules, 45% in inverter cost, and 44% in installation-related costs. All this helped in promoti

Have a terrific weekend. Get out side. Enjoy the beauty of the creation around you. Skip a stone. Go for a walk.       A friend of mine always helps me with maps and diagrams, pointing out all the little symbols and what they mean. The guys a legend.

Have a terrific weekend. Spend some time with the ones you love. Take a selfie. Share it with no one in particular.   What do you call the number 7 and the number 3 when they go out on a date? The odd couple (but 7 is in her prime).   Why should you never talk to PI Because he’ll go on and on and on, forever.  

Hey Guys,   Just got our HMT-1 headsets.  I had one on loan and was learning it. I downloaded MS Teams APK and installed it but it seemed kind of buggy.   Is there an APK availble for teams on this site? Or does anyone have an APK to share that works?   Thanks for any help
