Change.... (ME)

And I have about 10 years to full retirement. Funny how time slips by, and the next thing you know, your 401K is a 200.5Z, and retirement is right around the corner, staring you in the face.

Time to move on.

Have bags, will travel.

    Thanks!

    for the notice, but more so all the knowledge you have shared over the years. I'll pass the word along.

    Be sure to offer a solar component. Mention the word solar and the classes fill up to capacity ;)

    Call me when you have a minute, I have some other ideas.

    ME!

    Thank you for the education, guidance, support and knowledge that you have generously extended to me. I am grateful that I was blessed to sit across from you every day for the past five years plus. I am a better (hydronics) man because of you and the time you have devoted to me and my development.

    To those of you who attend Mark's informative gatherings you will benefit first hand. Pay attention and take detailed notes.

    Mark, I know that you will succeed in everything that you are meant to do. I wish you the best! Congratulations!

    Thank you again,
    Jim French n' his girls

  • I have a face made for radio....

    When TOH (Ask This old House) came to Denver to do some filming, the director told me I have a face made for radio..ha ha ha :-)

    All during the filming, I was huddled down in the corner, waiting for my next move. It was a fun learning experience.

    Talk about your out takes, we'd gotten a Honeywell wireless thermostat and receiver base to make this job work (split zone) and the scene was the show host was finishing tighetening down the last wire, when the HO walks in and says' "How it going?", The host smiles, turns around and throws the switch for the power to the control, he turns to talk to the homeowner and tell him how it's going, when over his shoulder you see a flash, then smoke....OOOooopppsss. You could hear the director from upstairs yell, "OH ****, theres a fire over your shoulder!" (He was watching and directing from a remote in the living room upstairs.

    Defective, right out of the box. Had to do another take, and fake it :-)

    I actually helped some green friends do a trailer for Green Homes Show that never took off. I was best man, best sparky, grunt, grip, professor, cook and bottle washer. Now THAT was quite the experience.

    I'm thinking it might be time to re-introduce that trailer to the likes of Home and Garden magazine show...

    With a face made for radio :-)
