HVAC-Talk Booth

[pgrasso]

Hi Everyone!

I've been walking around the show floor all day, talking to a lot of manufacturers and meetinng a lot of contractors. What a great group of people. I've been so busy running all over the place, I haven't had a chance to post anything until now.

But also, this is the first time I've been by the HVAC-Talk booth when there was a terminal free. This is a very popular booth. Lusker just told me that this community has about 200 new members since yesterday. Welcome everyone!

The mods have been doing a great job (and never miss an opportunity to rough up "the editor" every time he is around).

Getting ready to go to a seminar session that starts shortly.

Yeah the manufacturers, distributors and contractors are all a great group... On the other hand, the ones that hang out at the booth are some ugly ducks :)

[pgrasso]

Yeah, I wasn't going to say anything. But, they posted photos, so I guess you know now :p

[pgrasso]

I was kidding, of course. I would never say anything bad about these guys (expecially if they don't post any crazy pictures of me).

Too late for a suck up post. :D

ARPA and I will be lurking with our cameras this evening. ;)

I live just south of Lancaster in The Buck. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you.

Speaking of ugly Ducks did you see that picture someone took of that guy in front of the Goodman booth? :D

Well at least no one spelled "duck" with an "f" :D

I have to admit it was great to meet the guys from H talk at the booth.

You guys are a great example of how professional this forum really is.

In addition to meeting the mods I got to meet many members too numerous to mention, hate it that I missed docholiday though.

For those not attending this event you should really reconsider for next year.

Will see all of you in St.Louis.

I was there, I stopped in at the HVAC talk booth quite a few times and even posted a few times from the puters set up there. I also helped out at the NATE championships and worked one of the better looking displays. (I could see Robo from where I was at)

I was another one to stop by the booth, was nice to put faces with names. Seems the theme (at least for me) was that people looked much younger than I expected them too.

Got to shake a few hands, but the only person I got to really talk to was jrbenny. But after reading the above, it seems I met Doc and didn't know it. I also worked the NATE competition. There were only 2 guys who I didn't know there, and Doc must have been one of them.

Was a good time, see you next year :).

It's the make up that "the editor" uses... he is the oldest of us all. :D

I had a really great time last week; it was nice meeting all of you and to be able to put a face to the (nick) name. I know I haven't posted very much to the site, so it was helpful to get acquainted with the mods and some of the other members live.

For those of you who were not in Baltimore, you really missed out on a great opportunity. I’m not just talking about the parties and the socializing either. The product showcase and the business/technical seminars were phenomenal as well. I hope that, as you've read through these threads, you’ve already made it a point to mark St. Louis on your calendar for next year.

One last thing … although I may not have been the most pleasant person to be around on Saturday afternoon, it was great hanging out with Lusker, ARPA, and jrbenny and getting to know them. However, each of them is bad luck, and I will never watch another Notre Dame game with them at the Baltimore ESPN-Zone again ;)

Go Browns. :eek: :D

(I bet Mike is just bugging the hell out of you today. :) )

[pgrasso]

No, he isn't bothering me at all. I haven't heard a peep from him all day ... then again, he isn't in the office. So, that would explain it. :D
