Do they still allow dam Yankees down there?
Plenty here already :D Several in the HVAC business. Good techs too.

[Green Mountain]

You know of course that there is no way you are going to get James to come to this.

#1. NC is too close to Georgia.

#2. You have to have it in the last week of Novemember. His slow week.:D

[jpb2]

.:D I was thinking more along the lines of a suit of armor . Although I would imagine that once he fell down , it would be hard to get back up !! ;)

[jpb2]

I deserve all the grief I get. Hope all is well

[dhvac]

dont worry jeff al long as you dont do it again this year there will be someone new to have their chops busted after this years convention

[key]

Looking Good!,

[greenm&m]

I do hope we get to see some new faces this year.

James, among others it would be nice to see you come to one.

[jpb2]

Will gladly help the fellow along :) Maybe Pat can do the santa clause roof thing again . take care d

[frozensolid]

You did it so well last year I think we need a repeat. :D

That way everyone else knows they are safe.

P.S. James won't come unless there is rainbow decor.

[jpb2]

Some one else will get the crown this year :) glad the storm missed you

[frozensolid]

Thanks, guess your right about the crown. Your wife would execute ya. :D

[jpb2]

I am of no value to her dead. Nothing but a burial polcy. I'm not that dumb after all :)

[Jettaknight]

Hmmm...some of us Crazy Canucks may just bring some of our beer for these festivities. But then again, it is quite a trip to NC. Here's hoping we don't get too thirsty on the way!:D

There were 5 Canucks @ the last one . Well 4 1/2 , shaun only counts 1/2 !!

[selfemployed]

Ship it to me ahead of time. I'm an alci, It will be safe. One place downtown has 32 brews on draft and another has local micro brands.

[jpb2]

Guess that was my problem trying to be the other Canadian :)

[pabull]

Well, It's official. I am not booked for that weekend, and I'll probably be in PA anyway. Looks like I will most likely be gracing your presense this convention. :D
PARTY TIME!!!! :D :D

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, we heard about the Canadian beer drinking myth.

Flashback. Somewhere in the Vermont Wilderness.

Benncool: "Ken, Come on have another beer!"

Ken to Benncool: " F#@K you."

(I took that as a no thanks.) :D

[ga-hvac-tech]

So are you bringing the bear???

It looks good for me to make it also. This will be my first convention, looking forward to meeting a bunch of folks. Associating names and faces is always a lot of fun.

Yeah, it should be fun!

Did I read correctly that you are in the distribution chain for RUUD?

[jpb2]

Yeppers work for Benoist Brothers Jackson Mo. Branch

[ladyfire3374]

Looks like a good time to come home & visit my folks in Greensboro!

Green M&M is a lady tech down in Virginia. She came up to the 06 convention here in Vermont. I think she had a real fun time. I bet she shows up in W-S. These conventions are different every year. Strictly social.

This best part is that they are in a city that the host lives in. I would never have thought of visiting Winston-Salem unless Selfemployed and his lovely wife hadn't invited us to the convention there.

[ga-hvac-tech]

Yeppers work for Benoist Brothers Jackson Mo. Branch

I am a RUUD dealer. I buy from Dealer's Supply here in Atlanta, mostly from the Doraville branch. I like their products, and Dealer's Supply is a company that supports their dealers, which is a BIG thing to me; I use this as a benefit in sales presentations.

Convention should be fun! I am looking forward to meeting a bunch of folks.

Have a GREAT one!

[jpb2]

Any distributors job is support we just strive to do it better then the rest. look fwd to meeting you

[ga-hvac-tech]

I agree about the distributor's job, and will not mention any names... BUT there are a few big names here in town that do not care about anyone that does not move HUGE amounts of equipment. (And a few of those HUGE volume dealers set new standards for hackery in installations).

Dealers on the other hand will take just as good care of their small customers as the big ones. And with 6 of the 10 largest RUUD dealers in the nation being customers of Dealer's supply, they could very well have gottne the 'attitude' that other folks have.

THX for your input. Looking forward to meeting you also!

Have a GREAT one!

[greenm&m]

Looks like we are going to have a few more folks this year. And with self and his wife hosting this year I know it is going to be a nice one. Last years convention was great. Good folks, good beer, good food, good conversations, and a couple of good pranks............what more can you ask for. :D :D :D :D :D :D

[jpb2]

Ga. and green i agree on all points. We're jus a mid size distributor but i see alot of our customers having fun this week ....me as well:D

[shaun66]

beer was good JPB2? how would you know, you didnt drink in Bennington :)

[jpb2]

Cause I'm drinking Cabo dry today. After a 6 hour ATV thrashing our bus pulled up at a beer shack and damn near emptied the coolers :D

[ideaperson]

Just pin up a picture of me to throw your beer cans at.

[Diceman]

Just pin up a picture of me to throw your beer cans at.
We did that last year, any other ideas??



:D

[ideaperson]

Wallpaper the outhouse? (I already know what you're thinking so go for it.)

[Diceman]

No, that's not it, keep em coming..........:eek:

[frozensolid]

Scott, any hotel info? Did I miss it somewhere?

[jpb2]

Frozen, you're still dodging the Anna Nicole scandal :)

[ga-hvac-tech]

Scott, any hotel info? Did I miss it somewhere?

Ditto on info for accomodations... Would like to get the 'early bird discount'... :cool:

[selfemployed]

Papers have been turned in but the NACC tourney is in town so they are stepin and fetchin for those folks right now. Will hear from them in a week. Rate is 105.00 per night instead of 139.00.

[greenm&m]

I think I missed where the accommodations were at too.

[ga-hvac-tech]

Unless I have missed a post or two, I do not think the accomodations have been posted yet.

I would suggest that if there is a Marriot Courtyard there to ask them for a group rate. I have stayed at Courtyards for decades, they are really nice... and the price is competitive given the accomodations.

Glad I will get to see you again. Hope all is well. Nickie and I will be driving in so if you need transportation let me know. Take care jpb

[RoBoTeq]

I'm looking forward to seeing all I've met and even more some I have not yet met. I can't believe I missed Wink last year. We were even at the picnic at the same time but he left before I got the chance to say heh.

ga-hvac-tech may not believe it from my post bantering, but we most likely have some common issues to discuss. Now; if we could just get James to leave the swamp for a weekend.

[selfemployed]

winston-salem,nc i will be there

There is a smaller airport in W-S you can fly into. Smith Reynolds. call me if you need more info.

I wish I still flew puddle hoppers. But owning one is not an expense I want to carry at the present. Oh well... :)

[Makinice]

Call me stupid......
Okay, I asked for that but,
What exactly to you guys and gals do at these things?

Does everyone bring the spouse, kids, etc.....

I have not been to one yet (plan to this year). I want to meet all the fine folks I have made friends with online.

And enjoy a rousting ARP style debate over a few beers and a good steak! Ice, you should attend that also... you might find that we are more bark than bite... ;)

I'm thinking about it.........................

I'm not a very socialized person, and I hate people in general, so I guess I probably would fit right in with you ARP guys...............:D:D

[Richard Kletty]

Im thinking I shall be there... Im sure the wife will need some coaxing. If the accommodations have a hot tub that she can soak in for 3 days while Im off with the fellas Im sure that would work. LOL

John, If she decides not to go I may wanna car pool my friend. I hate traveling alone...

[selfemployed]

Look at the pics from past conventions. Lot of fellowshiping good food and some shop talk. The ladies have more fun than the men for sure. Saturday seems to be the day people go sight seeing. You can't get lost, we exchange cell #'s so your safe. It's great to see different parts of the country and know where to go while your there. Check out the W-S link. There's lots to see, from art to history to wine tasting. The mountains are about 1.5 hrs. away and 10º cooler. Blue Ridge Parkway is a nice way to see them.

Should leave the ARP in ARP, don't be a buzz killer

Maybe we'll let
your bring your pet,
you could come in a vet
and there you will set
and I bet
Gooman will fret
as you soon get
all effed up and start bad mouthing them.

I have not head anything about accomodations, but if they go with one of the national chains (I sent an Email and suggested it), there will be both a pool and spa.

If your better half does not go, yes, I am game for a ride.

Looking forward to it!

[ga-hvac-tech]

Hi Carnak,

What I was thinking about was a gathering of ARP folks separate from the convention. Not sure how it would work out, maybe a dinner out at a restaurant in a back room where we could just have a good time.

We will see what works.

[ga-hvac-tech]

I'm thinking about it.........................

I'm not a very socialized person, and I hate people in general, so I guess I probably would fit right in with you ARP guys...............:D:D

Hey Ice, I think you have more to offer to friends than you let on. I am looking forward to meeting you. Maybe we can all bring along our laptops (I know I will bring mine), and go over notes about van terminals.

I think we all will have a GREAT time up there!

[Makinice]

I was hoping that it was going to be 3 fun filled, packed days of back-to-back seminars. Topics to include:

· Extreme Marketing – “Why my course is better than the other guy” – By Twilli
· Excel Tips and Tricks – “How to master the pull-down” – by Jrbenny
· Fun at Work – “The foghorn leghorn dance – Get up and dance” – by Dice and his naked son
· Soul Searching – “Why don’t these knuckheads believe I am here to help” – by Bob Blagg
· Relaxation Techniques – “How to relax after a hard days work” – by Dowzy
· Adoption – “How to start your very own mixed race family” – by James
· Making Friends in the Work Place – “1001 ways why I am always right” – by Makinice


See this is why I have no friends….. :)

[Makinice]

Oops, I forgot:

Tools in the workplace - "Sawzall blade, and the Toe within" - by sweetjane

okay, I'm done now. sorry.

[jpb2]

As a rookie to theese events I will asure you that they are fun beyond what one can imagine. There are no agendas just a group of people having a good time that have the common interest and employment in this industry. We all have ideals and issues but they are put aside to just have a good to have a great weekend.

Keep typing Bro, you are digging yourself in deeper and deeper (into ARP that is)... :D

You missed a few:

Why all libs are fools... by ChillBilly
Why all repubs are loosers... by Tink
And last but not least:
Why one should never trust any politician... by GA-HVAC-Tech

And these are the REAL seminars... :D

I am looking forward to meeting all you folks, this summer will be a good time!

Now we just need to get James peeled away from his gauge set and thermometer... :eek:

[refrtech]

LOL ga and makinice , get those thought out of your heads right now !! There is NO WAY you can even put the Conventions and ARP in the same paragraph !!!

Just scroll through the pictures of the past 3 , specifically the past 2 :) , conventions on here . They will paint a pretty good picture of what they are like for you . There has been no arguements or anything like that . Actually quite the opposite . EVERYONE gets along and has a great time. One of the cool things is spending the weekend with others that you have absolutley nothing in commom with except the HVAC trade . I have sat down and got drunk with guys that I never thought I would have anything in common with but we all have a great freakin time !!!! Like I said just look @ the pictures on here from the past !!!

[frozensolid]

Dice should give a seminar on making Feta cheese. Him being a big venus capra guy and all.

Lemme guess; you just finished watching Happy Gilmore for the umpteenth time:p

[RoBoTeq]

ARP, tech talk and everything in between all gets muddled together while everyone just enjoys having a good time with like and unlike minded members, spouses, friends and family members of HVAC-Talk members.

Basically it's just an excuse for a weekend party.

[selfemployed]

Probably the most honest statement there is. Even the people who don't drink (that would be me) have a good time.

[greenm&m]

[jpb2]

none better as far as excuses go

[Green Mountain]

I am assuming VAV's are related to duct work. I work in a commercial building and had the engineer come out to check the computer room. The room appears to generate a lot of heat. The contract calls for the room to be separately zoned. The engineer said the room's HVAC was shared with 2 other rooms. He said the room had a VAV that could be closed off which would prevent some of the heat from other areas. To me, this is not separately zoned. What do you think? :(


Hi new guy. Welcome to H-Talk. Don't be disappointed if you don't get your answer here. You are in the wrong forum. A moderator will move this to the commercail forum soon. Check out the Commercial forum if you can't find your post.

[Freezeking2000]

I don't drink and I had a great time..............I do not know if this year is a go or not. Wife has a new job so vacation is short and I promised the kids Disney World.

Even the people who don't drink (that would be me as well) have a good time.

[coolwhip]

Looks like fun! I can bring the banjo along.:)

[BigJon3475]

Looks like fun.

[ga-hvac-tech]

Did I miss something; has information on the accomodations been posted yet??? THX in advance.

[Green Mountain]

Looks like fun! I can bring the banjo along.:)

I think the answer is going to be "Yes, Sir re-bob". Scott has us booked at some kinda of a nature perserve. He rented a open Pavilion. Southern cooking, beers, horseshoes etc. Personally I think a banjo would fit right in with this scene.

[Green Mountain]

Did I miss something; has information on the accomodations been posted yet??? THX in advance.

I asked the same question awhile back. Scott said that he didn't post the information yet.

From what I hear, he has a big back yard so get a pup tent just in case.:D

[ga-hvac-tech]

I think we need to twist the arm of that newly discovered South Carolina Musician and get him to come... Bring his guitar and get to a pickin' for all us workin' guys... ;)

THX for the update on the accomodations. I suspect it is just one more detail to attend to at this point... Things will work out, they always do!

[selfemployed]

e- mail me and yes bring the banjo

[selfemployed]

Looks like fun.

Hope you stop by since your in the neighborhood so to speak.

[BigJon3475]

I was hoping to but when I wrote that message I didn't know anyone on here and got no reply it actually started off with me asking if I could make it would I be welcome?

[selfemployed]

Of course, everyone is welome that can attend. Even if only for a few hours. Several people in the trade that live here are going to stop by and meet everyone. They post on this site too. It's a cartoon come to life as Benncool says.

[jpb2]

Thanks Scott. Are there many rocks in the back yard ? Do I need an air matress ? :) just keep me posted if you need anything just let me know. hope all is well in the east

[selfemployed]

I have removed most of the rocks but the dog has put a few land mines around :D You could probably set-up in the park across the street just so long as the city don't see your tent.

[frozensolid]

Fortunately you got a hotel, so I booked there. :) You may want to put a dog house in the yard for JP Scott. :D

[selfemployed]

Got one under the deck, I sweep it out and put some fresh shavings in it :D

[jpb2]

I guess I missed the hotel info. Please let me know. I wanna get a room next to that short feller named Dennis:D

[Bob Blagg]

I was thinking about coming, but it is probably safer if I stay home.

[Green Mountain]

I was thinking about coming, but it is probably safer if I stay home.

There are all kinds of cliches you could use here:

"All work and no play makes Bob a dull boy"

"Nothing ventured nothing gained."

"Don't be a stick in the mud."

"Life is too short."...........

...........come on boys and girls help me out.:confused:

Besides that you'd be a shoe-in for the "Otto look alike contest."

[glennac]

Hell if I can squeaze it in I'll make it. I have a trip scheduled to see my cousin in Oregon in early August. He left TN back in the 50's when my grandfather auctioned off the farm. If I come I'll bring my "flack" jacket.:D :D :D

[Diceman]

I was thinking about coming, but it is probably safer if I stay home.
Safe is no fun, ..............sign up old man.:D

[ga-hvac-tech]

Hey Bob, (not the moderator--the marketing guy);

I do not know a single person on this forum beyond the postings (have talked to a few on the phone though), but I am planning to come and meet most of them.

Should be a lot of fun! And if I can handle it, then I am sure anyone else here can... :cool:

Looking forward to meeting a bunch of folks in August!

[frozensolid]

If you come, maybe Dice will let you shack up with Miss Dolly for the weekend.

[Bob Blagg]

I am not sure if I will be there. I don't smoke. I gave up drinking a long time ago. And it would be a lonely one man 12 hour drive.

So someone convince me to go!

[selfemployed]

There are may sights to see here. Check the W-S home page. http://www.wscvb.com/ Plenty of places with live music downtown. There are horse shoe pits and I think volleyball at the picnic shelter. Also paddle boats, horseback ridding, feed the ducks, par 3 golf, PGA golf course, nature trails in the park. Church on Sunday if you chose. Oh and a group of people you have yet to meet. You get a shirt to prove you were here too. 5 color I might add.

[jpb2]

Bob it is a great fellowship of industry folks. You will not be disappointed

[selfemployed]

Jump on a plane.

[Green Mountain]

Okay this should do it. We need disignated drivers!!!
:eek: :eek:


Only kidding. There are plenty of folks there that don't smoke. (me) And a lot who don't drink. But that is only a part of it. Everyone one eats.:p :p
Everyone talks and everyone laughs.:D :D

O K Bob, I see that as a challenge... :)

Lessee now...
There are lots of HVAC folk there, so conversation will not be a problem. :) Many of the folks you have sold your marketing kits to will be there so I am sure they will hit you up for some shop talk. :eek:
There will be more good food than we could possibly eat... :p I like that part!
There will be activities to do. :rolleyes:
There will be a lot of just plain good times for all! :)
I will be taking pictures, you may get to be a celebrity... :cool:
You might see someone you knew from years ago... :confused:
You might have a good time regardless of whether it sounds like fun... :cool:
Yeah, by all means, fly if a 12 hour drive does not sound good.
And last and probably least: I for one would enjoy meeting you and taking about marketing.

So come on down and meet everyone!

Bob, i went last year and I am still trying to make it this year, but a Disney World Vacation is conflicting with the schedule of the convention. I am still looking into how I may do this.

[refrtech]

LOL thats funny freezeking . My wife was planning on going to Myrtle Beach the same weekend soooo I arranged it that Monday when I leave NC I am driving to Myrtle Beach and meeting her and for 4 nights . MAKE IT WORK !!!

[selfemployed]

Go up the road a ways and find calabash seafood hut. Just in NC. Get a shrimp sandwich. Remember swampfox is down that way and Murrells Inlet is south of M. B. Good places to eat there too.

I hope I can also find a way to make it work.

[Diceman]

I am not sure if I will be there. I don't smoke. I gave up drinking a long time ago. And it would be a lonely one man 12 hour drive.

So someone convince me to go!
How about this for convincing?

Dice: I looked at the picture and it scared the heck out of me. You guys sure have some ugly strippers down your way.

Also when I opened that picture, I could have sworn I heard the song Dueling Banjos start playing.
