Happy 1st of July

Most Americans are not aware that the country just to the north of the US - Canada - has it's national day, Dominion Day, on the 1st of July. For all of those who are "north of the border", congratulations on your special day. It also happens to be the birthday of my step-daughter, Kristina, who lives and works near Hamburg. Happy Birthday Tina! No, I won't say how many years! :-) (but she is a good-looking natural blonde!)

There is not much technical stuff to report on at this point in time. As you can or will see, I have added a few more "bells and whistles" to the blog. I hope you enjoy them!

My wife and I are "enjoying" the weather in central Italy as we prepare to sell our B&B here. "Enjoy" is relative, it's been 32-35°C (lower-to-upper 90's Fahrenheit) every day for the last two weeks - great for relaxing at the pool, but not so great for clean-up, spruce-up type work! Yesterday afternoon, we had a thunderstorm that helped cool us off, at least for a few hours.

As always, I stand ready to answer, or at least comment on, any questions that you might have. One interesting area for this time of year is how to keep your vacuum stable when the temperatures (ambient air and cooling water) climb. A second centers around scaling and corrosion and animal/plant growth in cooling water systems for vacuum-producing equipment. Anybody want to start off?

Ciao for now,

Craig
