Symposium originally referred to a drinking party (the Greek verb sympotein means "to drink together") but has since come to refer to any academic conference, whether or not drinking takes place.
So don't be offended, they may be coming together for academic reasons, for a beer or both.
I look at it this way, if I tell my wife I going out for a beer with the guys, she gets mad. However if I am going to a Symposium, I can still have a beer, and she knows no difference.
Its code. |

Possibly get Doug involved next year. Second day combustion training and testing. I really like the combustion class I have put together.
Any comments? |
I would be interested for sure
I just don't want to wait another year (dang just missed it)
Made it thru 2 threads
Wow this was all free training
unbelievable
I suppose everyone benefits from well trained techs.
I don't know if it's a good idea because some guys would be coming from far away
but if you broke a 2-day seminar to 1 day every 6 months you could
do the hot when it starts getting cold and the cold when it starts getting hot .
I have a short term memory loss do to a thinking problem |
