Education on Arctic Spas

"Nuclear Metrology," that's the big prison outside of Chino, isn't it? How many years of your life did you spend there?

Kidding !! Actually, some of my best friends are into Neutron Metrology. One of them has an HPGe gamma-ray spectrometer (59 keV to 1408 keV - they're saving for a larger model) in her basement.

I guess you didn't want a "standard" life anymore?

Chas, you never cease to amaze me! I was waiting for you to come back with a Weatherman joke and you actually hit me with a true instrument pun. Kudo's, most people have no clue what metrology really is in fact for a long time it wasn't even in spell check on word!

One of the more interesting things I got to do back then was calibrate dimensional and optical items with laser beams on surface plates!

It was only interesting for the first few years and then it got very mechanical and boring. I have a pretty weird resume including Master diesel mechanic, welder, office equipment repair, electrical, counselor and more.

The Metrology field has advanced so much in the last 20 years that I’m a dinosaur compared to the guy’s in the field now!

P.S. Like someone said in this thread (Stu?Steve?) Thankyou for reinforcing everything that we already beleived about Arctic sales/marketing and showing your true colours

Now that is the epitome of an Arctic salesman! (probably not all but defiantly the ones I've met).

I do have to laugh though, few who know me would consider me a computer geek! I’ve been mistaken for a mass murder at times and maybe an over the hill WWF guy but never a computer geek!

Yah, but I think it was you and Chas he was most spooked by, using big words like "Neutron Metrology". The project he was referring to was actually looking these words up in his dictionary.

I fit a similair physical profile Stuart, so I hear ya. My wife thinks I'm a computer geek though

Chas on the other hand, IS a computer geek!

Dude, where do you come up with these pictures all the time?! Are you making them to fit the moment?

I just did a Google search on "Artic Salesman," and that's what came up....

Sorry to all of you Artic salesmen who aren't full of hot air....

As a kid I saw my dad go off to work
He ran the family store
He wore a suit and always was so nice
To anyone who came inside the door

Early on I knew this life was not for me
You worked too hard and had to be polite
When I grew up I knew I'd sleep through most the day
Play in my famous rock band every night

But later on I had to get a job -- something dangerously wild,
and nothing like my dad's

Now I'm an Arctic salesman (that's what I am)

I can answer your questions without any facts
While I jingle pocket change in my double-knit slacks
I can sell you arctic spas that don’t need a heater to heat
I'll even sell you python boots that don't fit your feet

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Stuart I think you've founf a second business venture as the next Dr. Seus!!!!!

I'm thinking of Patrick Stewart for my part. What do you think?

And for me, Don Knotts,  as modeled by "The Ghost and Mr Chicken.  

I think I'm closing this one before I get yelled at again.
