Thanks for giving us the place to get started. I look forward to what I'm sure will be some very interesting posts.

Thanks Dan!

I've asked

Invision to open a new forum on the Wall for Heating Efficiency Issues. I think this is one of most important things we can be talking about today, and it should have its own space. It soon will. Thanks to JR for his inspiration.

Very Thoughtful, Dan

I think that striving for true system efficiency is one of the most challenging aspects of this work and it affords another opportunity to differentiate the true professionals from the "others". I applaud both you (and you also, John) for bringing this issue to the forefront. Thank you.

I agree with MD

Challenging side projects.....

Since I was 16 I've always had a chalenging side project. My first project was cars. I started with this in high school. I remember the engine swap parties. Next it was auto racing. I was running cars on the road race circut from 1985 to 1992 doing a mixture of time trials and racing. I won an amauture Championship in 1988. From 1992 to 1994 I spent a lot of time with my fiance and then wife and it is the only time I didn't have a side project going. I got married in 1993. In 1994 I was bored and a little depressed. That is when I joined the Inventors Association of CT and started another side project. I have had one in progress always up to now. I can't stop. My mind would go nutz unless I had something to train it on or to focus it on. It seems like there is this part of me that is always trying to solve the puzzle. These projects are never ever finished. There is always room for improvement. The race car is never ever fast enough. If I just go back into the garage for a few hours I can find a improvement and save a tenth of a second.
So when I'm feeling bored I just start working on that pet project. Even radiant heating is a constant pet project. I am always searching for knowledge that will make the systems better. Even after I won Best in show with Grove Street I wasn't satisfied. I would sit for hours and think how it would be much better if only I had a chance to do it over again. I would have actually been happy if they let me rip it all out and start again. I hated finishing Grove Street. The puzzle never ends. There is always something that if you just do a little more research on you can do it better. I look for these puzzles. The more complicated the better. Often I sit and stare off deep in space. Sometimes my mind starts working on a puzzle that is in progress deep inside my imagination. A friend will say John! John! Wake up! I seem to be at my happiest in life when I am working on the puzzle. Isn't that strange?

Deep down inside I don't think that I want to really license an invention. Why? Because then you have to stop working on the puzzle. You give the puzzle to someone else to finish. I just don't want to give the puzzle up. I never actually finished the Autopurger. I couldn't stop myself from working on the Autopurger until I started on the Radiant Groover. I couldn't stop on the radiant groover until I then shifted over to the Overall Efficiecy Project. I can only give up a puzzle if I have another puzzle just as challenging to work on in the wings. The puzzle that I gave up wasn't finished. I still had ideas for improvements. It is almost like I am a puzzleholic.

Anyway that is what my life is all about.

Am I nutz?
