Thank God for health insurance, Amen.

When I was laid-off a few years back, a local company offered me a full-time job with benefits. On my first day they said "you have to sign up with the...

Try the Echelon site first. If you don't find what you need, repost here. These plugins are only for the ASCs, they won't work for the programmables. (Except for the system plugin, but I don't think...

If air is passing over the wheel it should be turning. Most wheels are somewhat self-cleaning while they are turning. If they are stopped and air is passing over (or through) them, dust and dirt will...

We'll be praying for everyone in the path. Hope you guys only get a few inches of rain.

I'm hoping this isn't the big one New Orleans has been dreading for decades.

I was wondering about that one myself. Maybe it's like a guy swatting at a bee, runs off the road a hits a tree. If he dies on the scene they may never know what happened.

I don't know if you live in Georgia, but if you do, I will help you pack up and move back to wherever the hell you are from.

I love Georgia.

It's my home by birth and by choice.

I guess we just believe in INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBLITY.

Persons over the age of 18 should be allowed to make choices about their own lives...

c/m,

Smart move to do as much over the web as you can.

We have only been using standard PCLTAs on machines running Vista Server. No remote stuff other than the 511 or integrating with a JACE...

That small pair (6"?) of needle nose vice grips is handy.

Take apart a folding allen wrench/torx set and use the vice grips as a driver. Great for hard to reach set screws. Also works as a...

I remember when having a 3 1/2" was better than having a 5 1/4" !

lb,

Dude's Circon solution would use 12 controllers if he wanted true analog output for each valve.

I hope everyone has fun in Balty, I have to work.

jj, you would need the Menta programming tool for the 401.

Xenta products can be purchased through a local dealer. I was only using the Xenta 400 series to illustrate my point. If this was the...

It's my understanding that Atlanta roads were very logically laid out, and street signs very easy to read before the Union Army arrived. Sherman burned it all down and it's been chaos ever sense. :)...

Bob,

You hated that job!

It sucks that they let you go in such a weasley manner though.

You remind me of one of my teachers way back in Tech School ('86-'87). Have you ever thought about...

I can't dispute anything anyone has said about Atlanta.

The air can be pretty bad downtown. I worked downtown for 10 years.

The traffic is horrendous!

The people are great!

Nightlife is...

Sure!

You can use one Lon controller and remote I/Os to control the valves. Your sensors can either be wired to the remote I/Os or be nodes on the network. I think a Lon solution would be perfect...

There must be some big mice there if they can stink up that 1200 acres.

What kind of crazy bio-chem stuff are they doing there?

Georgia prisons switched to powdered soap in the showers...

See what happens when you go away?

I'll bet the goats got out too.

Whoa!

Are there dampers that need to open before the fan starts?

Any other safeties?

Don't tell him to jump things out before he knows what will happen!

Hey snipe,

I haven't seen it in the paper in years. Just ran across a couple of web sites.

Our engineers and PMs like VIF also. Put everything on the installers back. Blame him when the job is done.

We do a "self evaluation" twice/year.

The boss evaluates us as well.

You get together, exchange forms and compare.

Good luck to you pc-hvac...

I think you will do well!

Sorry Norm, not trying to hijack your thread.

A friend in high school (ATL) was from Baltimore. He used to dream of White Castle. He thought Krystal was a poor substitute (but he ate sh*t loads of 'em.)

Friends recommended the site to me, and I have brought a few more onboard.

I was hired by a guy who used to post a lot.

You guys don't have the Waffle House up north do you?

Open 24/7, 365. Steak and eggs, hashbrowns (scattered, smothered, covered,) pork chops, bacon, and pecan waffles.

Great coffee too!

So true Dow!

I do controls, and 75% of my work is new construction. I depend on the fitters and sparkys, and they get screwed by everyone.

If I can help a fitter or sparky by tying something...

Unless you would need to run either pump separately from the chiller, eg. for water side economizer, why waste the DDC outputs to start/stop those pumps?

At Hooters they're better when they're naked!

That's what microwaves are for!

Good Luck (and God Bless)!

Interesting handle you got there.
