Networking and More

As summer wanes, enjoy time together. Hug your loved ones just a little longer. Be blessed!     If you know me, this might be root beer instead....     An engineer walks into a pub and demands, “Give me a beer before the problems start!”   The bartender hands out another beer but is visibly concerned as the engineer seems in some sort of pain.   As the engineer finished his 6th beer the bartender asks, “When are you going to start paying for these beers?”   The engineer exclaims, “Now the problems start!”

Trying to knock more projects off the Honeydew list. Have a terrific weekend. He would like to see you come visit Him in His house this weekend, too. Be Blessed.       An engineer is a person who: measures with a micrometer, marks it with a crayon, and cuts it with an ax.

Looking forward to a little bit of a get away weekend up north. Summer is quickly stealing away. Steal some back before it is gone.     Proof: Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power. Postulate 2: Time is Money.   As every engineer knows: Power = Work / Time.   And since Knowledge = Power & Time = Money, it is therefore true that   Knowledge = Work / Money.   Solving for Money, we get: Money = Work / Knowledge.   Thus, as Knowledge approaches zero,   Money approaches infinity,   regardless of the amount of work done.

Sticky and Stormy was the forecast this morning. Have a great weekend. Enjoy time with the ones you love. Soon (a few weeks) the kids will be back in school.       "When I wrote this code, only me and God knew how it works."   "Now only God knows..."

Hope you all had a great weekend. I had another Friday off for home projects and didn't get this done on Thursday. Not really phishing for kudos, but couldn't think of another name. Hope your week is off to a great start.     What do you call a fish with no eyes....   A Fsh.

Have a terrific time with the ones you love this weekend. Eat a watermelon. Jump in the lake. Pick a flower. Give it to a friend.     Since Sunday is halfway through July....    

What about this community and which discussion can I take part in this community?Remember one thing I'm total newbie.

A little stay-cation at one of the local beaches tomorrow. Enjoy your weekend. Be blessed!     A catalyst walks into a bar.   The bouncer stops him and commands, “You can’t come in here!”   The catalyst asks, “Why?!”   The bouncer says, “The last time you came in here you started something!”

Have a terrific weekend. Especially in the States as many celebrate Independence Day with an extra long weekend. Be blessed. Be safe in any pyrotechnics you participate in.   A few definitions for today's funny: Yooper (from the U P - Michigan's Upper Peninsula) typically of Scandinavian descent.  States are made up of counties. The map shows the counties in both of peninsulas of Michigan .    

My buddy's turn to get a project done this Friday after we got an electrical trench done two weeks ago. Have a blessed weekend and don't forget the sun tan lotion.....     What do you call a mathematician who spends all summer in the sun?   A tangent.

Getting things checks off my honey-do list. ( and my own list too.) Hope you have a great day. Be blessed.       I have a fear of over-engineered buildings.   It’s a complex complex complex.

Heading out for a long weekend (trenching electricity to my shed) and the NeoCon on Monday in Chicago. Be blessed.     How do you get 100 math teachers into a room in which only 99 fit?   You carry the one.

Welcome to June. Big summer plans? Stay cool out there, but maybe not this cool.   A chemist froze himself at -273.15 C.   Everyone around him said he was crazy.   It turns out he was 0 K

Remember those who have died to serve the country in which you live.     Why do they call it summer school?   Cause it’s sum-more school.

Hi, Everyone,   First day back in the office after a full week of #LiveWorx23 !
