kinetic and Nukeproof if someone can pick it up for them

That is 13 confirmed, 2 tentative and 2 left to go :)


To all,

I am only able to deliver to the BAR meeting. I don't want to ship or deliver these individually. Again, the only reason I have these for sale is that they were shipped to me by accident and the seller/shipper offerred to sell them at his cost versus paying to ship them back (he also admitted to me what we already pretty much knew, that his profits more or less all came from his shipping costs). As it stands we will be losing money since with gas prices and our Expedition gas mileage it will cost roughly $35 for us to drive there and back. We originally didn't plan to attend the June meeting since I was a licensed Commercial Electrical Journeyman Wireman in Florida, Georgia and Alaska for 11 years before I got into computers (yes, I travelled and worked in all 3 states). So this meetings topic was not one of extreme interest to me :)

The irony is that this months meeting is about things electrical :), so I guess at least the timing worked out good.
 
Tom, let me just thank you for sharing the kill-a-watts with the club, and for coming out to the meeting to bring them! I totally appreciate that you thought of your fellow club members!

kinetic and Nukeproof being picked up by Mr. Ugly.

That accounts for all 17.

If someone fails to show or changes their mind, then Nicholas and Mr. Ugly have first shot. It will have to be a first dibs to those that attend the meeting.

Nicholas, if all are taken and you can't make the meeting, I can loan you one of ours if you just have a few things to check out. Least we could do for everything you have done for us :). I have been meaning to give you all a call and/or stop by again, so this would just give us an excuse :)

Yep, the meeting presentation won't be anything that you don't already know from your own work :) You might have fun with the speaker trading stories of crazy stuff you've seen on the job, though.

We're waiting on confirmation from some new sponsors, but I believe everybody will be very happy with the raffle items for the June meeting :D
 
I look forward to it Mr. Ugly.. I do have some wild stories from when I went up to work on the pipe line in Alaska. being that close to the Artic Circle is a trip and a half.


Vincerama2,
Thanks for the warm sentiment. These opportunities were why I joined BAR in the first place :). I am just glad for the opportunity to "give back".


Plus I look forward to seeing you all again. The frag swap was more than a little hectic for trying to meet and chat with everyone.


A little more history on these meters : The seller that shipped me too many meters (he actually crossed my shipment with someone elses) was worried that I would "take the meters and run" as he put it. I felt bad that he lost the other order due to the mistake (the other buyer cancelled his order becuase of the mistake). He was so relieved when I replied to his Email :). I just let him know that all of them are "sold" so that he doesn't have to worry about shipping back to him, etc. So you all helped me to ease his mind and lower his stress level (even though he will only break even versus making a profit, it is still better than losing money on it all). So in addition to getting a good deal, we all also did a good deed :)

P.S. I just edited my previous count update. My browser was a bit behind on the posts so I had to go back and correct the count :)

I'll pick up for nukeproof and kinetic.

hey norman,
you can use mine while I setup my system (it's going slow, but well) if you need another temporarily =)
 
Sorry, I almost wish now that the seller had goofed up even more so taht I would have had enough meters for everyone :(. They did go alot faster than I had expected
 
Less than a week to the meeting and I just wanted to confirm all that wanted one of these meters. This is the list as I have it now :

Elite
JHipkin
sfsuphysics
zivic2play
tonggao
fishme

kinetic and Nukeproof being picked up by Norman (Please make sure that Norman has the cash to pay for yours at the meeting. Thanks).

Anyone change their mind and no longer want one, or are not going to be able to make it to the meeting ? There are a couple of people on the "waiting list", so if you have changed your mind, just let me know. Thanks :) and I look forward to seeing everyone at the meeting :D. We plan to try to have the meters all handed out well in advance of the main speaker starting his lecture as wel don't intend to stay for the entire meeting. So if anyone picking up meter is going to be getting there later in the meeting, please let me know about it in advance. Thanks :)
 
I think I'll let someone else have a chance at the killawatt first. I won't be setting up my system for some time anyway.

Thanks norman for offering to pick up for me! And thanks Tom for offering these to us =)
 
Damn, I gotta bring money forgot about that.. you might want to bring quite a few dollar bills for those who might not have exact change :)
