Hey Rocky,

Siggy was down here in Seattle today and showed some compromising photos of you!

    Reason I have never bought a foot of the other stuff

    Have never seen another manufacturer, or manufacturer's rep step foot here in Fairbanks for training. Rick Mayo with Uponor was here two days ago and brought (sponsored) Siggy's class here. Now, dragging someone of Siggy's caliber all the way up here to the Great White North is not an inconsequential expense. Yet, here they were. Have been to numerous other training programs sponsored by Uponor over the past few years. What's more, alot of these classes are not Uponor-specific classes, they are either RPA-type classes of a technical nature, or business-sales classes. Either way they are designed to raise the bar for everyone, not just Uponor. Regardless, of what type of class it is, they are designed to make me a better contractor/businessman. Try to find another manufacturer willing to do that, not just sell their product.

    That's why I have never bought a single foot of the other products out there. Thanks Uponor and Siggy for a great class. Next time stay long enough to do some King fishing after the class!

    Warm regards from Fairbanks,
    Rocky

    Hydronics in Fairbanks

    Rocky,

    I really enjoyed spending time with you and the others in Fairbanks. It was a great class, and I have to say that one specific photo got the biggest applause of the day. I was impressed by your staff, and hope that after the class Wild Bill is a bit more enthusiatic about hydronic heating, if that's possible. Great location and great people. Keep up the good work.

    Josh...

    My wife thinks I am a sick freak. "Why can't you leave those books at home and just quit thinking about boilers? We are on VACATION!", she says.
    I reply, "What? Did you say something? I was reading about flat pump curves and how we can simulate them with variable speed pumps and..." Well...you can imagine the conversation from there.
    Just glad John's book is a LARGE text book. It had the ability to cover my ample mid-section in the picture!

    Supposed to be 80 degrees here in Fairbanks today, I think it will be a short day. My new riverboat is calling.

    Adios, amoebas,
    Rocky

    Calendar Malfunction

    My son and I signed up to go to the Wasilla Seminar w/ Rick and Siggy. (My son started his apprenticeship this morning with the same man who apprenticed me!) Unfortunately we had a calendar malfunction. We got up Tuesday morning at three am and drove four hours to Wasilla...to discover that the Seminar was GOING TO BE Wednesday! So we had breakfast and drove home. It got funny about a hundred miles down the road! Couldn't come back up the next day...next time.

    I don't think Siggy is going to have a hard time coming up with more info to the third edition "Modern Hydronics"! Were pretty excited about everything that is coming out as well.

    I thought that I should re-introduce myself to you by the way. I'm pretty sure we met once while I worked for a rep. located in Seattle. I can't for the life of me think of the project though. Rep shall remain nameless!

    Scary to say that I recognized you from the picture.

    Wirsbo is my first choice too. You just can not beat the fittings.
