Wetstock 2 Photos (Steamhead)

Howard

I get a goofy face reflex when a camera is pointed at me and a blink reflex when the flash is about to go off.
Mark is showing a garden hose spigot and extrol tank pumped up to 70psi upstream of the pressure reducing valve. In conjunction with a Low Pressure CO, this setup will turn the dreaded waterfall call into just a no-heat.

We decided to meet for dinner

and the group grew as more Wetheads arrived. That's George "Earthfire" Stawnyczyj directly in front of the camera, and Paul and Nadine Lessard to the right.

"No cameras inside the Weil-McLain plant" they said, so we had to leave them on the bus.

The Gathering #1- Steam Heat

Where else am I gonna start? ;-) Here we have Tom Farrell, Kelly from PM/Engineer, a lady who owns a steam-heated building Boilerpro works on, and the one and only Tom Tunstall of Tunstall, Inc. Scott Fewer was here too but not when I took this photo.

The Gathering #2- Writing

Dan talks about how he approaches writing and speaking. To the right of Dan is Arlene Puentes of October Home Inspections, who is also head of education for the Kingston, NY area ASHI chapter. Those of you who haven't had good experiences with home inspectors should see her presence as a good sign. Kelly from PM/Engineer is next to Arlene, and Tim Doran from Wirsbo is on the left of Dan.

The Gathering #4- Marketing Hydronics

Here we see Boilerpro, Tom Tunstall and Bob Livingston (next to Tom) talking to two more gentlemen whose names I didn't write down- please fill in the blanks! I really have to do better next time.

What a weekend! I was completely drained (and not just from that hot bus ride back from Weil-McLain). Wetstock is truly a meeting of the best and brightest in hydronics. For those of you who couldn't make it, plan on coming to the next one!

Thanks, Dan and everyone from Weil-McLain! So when and where will the next Wetstock be?
