  1. My wife does in class support for preschool special ed and has had 3 kids declassified this year. She works for an avid district in NJ where they do not want the special ed kids to be excluded from normal class rooms.
  2. My wife gets me all worked up before she asks me to help some one. She knows this way I have to say yes or I get cut off. I'm not recommending this practice but it has always worked on me.
  3. Yes, we would be interested in doing something like that. I can mix some fishing, I mean shop visits at the same time.
  4. At some sign shows there are Neon parties (when a close shop is available and willing) where glass benders get together to compare burns.
  5. Congrats, My second is 6 months now, time flys. Enjoy
  6. At the San Diego show the energy commission did not even come by the booth to see the comparison. It was on for 50+ hours straight with the meters and the neon was more efficent and 3X brighter (we all know that by now). I asked some ISA guys why they did not come by and see. They just smiled and said they were at the show. Guess they do not want to piss off the GE's or they have already made up thier minds although the testing says differnt. Erik, been on the road and just got in, 2 days home since the show, just enough time to get a new phone and out again. I will PM you this weekend.
  7. Sounds good to me. I may just stop by while I', out and about.
  8. Cant be any worse than when I got lost in Moscow a few years ago. If I get lost I can always follow all the runners 'cause they are not going South.
  9. I know there are a few benders coming down from Vegas and want to go to Tiajuanna Sat. night. I'm bringing my passport. We are booth #120. WCSG, are you going to drink that micro brewery beer again?
  10. A merry Xmas to you and your family and to anyone else out there in Cyperspace have a safe holiday and a prosperous New Year. }<)));> 'n NUT
  11. Happy Bday Kgirl. have a relaxing day and make Erik cater to your every need today
  12. The double valves allows you to outgas the valves when changeing tanks before piercing the tank, unlike other systems that use 12 liter tanks. It will fit directly onto Eurocom systems. The stainless steel tube is 8mm so it will plug directly into a compression fitting that is common on most manifolds or can be attached with High vacuum hose for lead glass manifolds.
  13. Is anyone going to the Atlantic City sign show this upcoming weekend?

    Sweet, Very nice work
  15. I bet you can be creative with that water faucet
  16. They said that there were only 9 houses effected and they knew about it for a while and hoped nothing would ever happen.
  17. It must be a california thing. I saw that the ground started to move a little bit over there, was that near you WCSG?
  18. How's this for a rocket scientist move. A local shop was installing a raceway last week and the controls in the bucket locked up. The ground man saw a mechanic stick a screwdriver into the controls on the base of the truck to move the boom one time so he did it and the boom started going out straight and couldnt stop it 'cause the screwdriver got stuck. Needless to say the bucket went straight into the raceway crushing it and damageing the facia. The sad part was that the owner was in the bucket and the store owner was standing there. He was fired on the spot. The ground man IS a total idiot. The week before he packed up a bunch of small channel letters. He put them all into a box (no padding or anything) taped the box up and put it on the back of the truck. 50 miles later he opened it and guess what? His answer to why he did it was he didnt want anything to hit them while they were on the back of the truck. Sometimes I am truely amazed at the way people think.
  19. Home > News > Article Lift collapse kills one man, injure another August 07, 2007 One Middletown man died and another was in critical condition after a hydraulic lift collapsed yesterday at Rockland County Community College. Detective Lieutenant Louis Falco of Rockland Sheriff's Office said Dale Post, 54, and 30-year-old Williams S. Maxwell were installing a sign about 11:40 a.m. on the east wall of the college's field house when a piston on the lift failed. Falco said both men were up in the lift when it came down. A young man who had come out of a summer camp at the field house heard moaning and found the men. Post died at the scene, Falco said. An ambulance took Maxwell to Good Samaritan Hospital where officials said he was in critical condition today. The men worked for Lite-Bright Signs in Middletown. Employees at the shop wouldn't comment today, and the owner hasn't responded to a request for an interview. While the project was at the college, it was contracted through Rockland County. CJ Miller, spokeswoman for the county executive's office, said the men were subcontractors, hanging a sign to identify the field house. "It was just a simple project that went horribly wrong," Miller said. The sheriff's office is investigating along with the Occupational Health and Safety Administration. This happened in early August. Both men were friends of mine and the owner is one of my best friends. He is not allowed to comment to reports by order of his lawyer. The piston collapsed while they were 25ft up and they were trapped by the safety gear with the lift on top of them. It was a tow behind unit and the pistons were just rebuilt by a reputable company who is in deep do-do rite now. Bill is out of the hospital now and said that if they didn't have the safety gear on they would have been thrown clear and maybe just broke a leg or arm. I will post pictures as soon as Carm says I can. Pretty gruesome. They were all done with the job and coming down when it all happened.They didnt mention that it was 45 minuites after it happened that they were found. If you do use these be very carefull.
  20. Talkin about recycling. We had a company come in and test our water. They told us that city water goes from flush to fill in 3 days. (thats, toilet to faucet) Just something to think about. :pp: to and back again
  21. Yep, not displaying but walking the floor Friday and Sat morn. Then flying home, Have a murder mystery dinner to go to on Sunday so I have to get home Sat. so I can fish at night. Are You Going?, Where have you been, Whats up with Cree and the city of Toronto. Who got greased?
  22. Welcome aboard Herb. Are you going to Toronto for CONSAC?
  23. Ditto on that BOP and WCSG. It didnt say if he was thier normal service guy. I'm not surprised that this does not happen more. A lot of places I have seen the owners take anyone from the shop and put them where they want them even if they are not qualified to do the job. Instead of hiring the proper personel, everyone does everything. It's a sad story.
