And dont forget you are supposed to be leveling my scale pads in a few weeks

[Danny Steyn]

While I know nothing about what happened at tech this past weekend, on the topic of rudeness, I have found the video record feature on my phone to be one of the greatest equalizers and attitude changers.

 

After one-too-many run ins with TSA during my many flights each week, if i started to notice an unhelpful or arrogant attitude I would just politely say,..... "I hope you dont mind Sir, but I am going to record this conversation for future reference so I don't mess up and inconvenience you again in the future"........

 

And on the production of the phone, the switch would be flipped and I would on most occasions get a totally pleasant and helpful approach.  Now with TSAPRE I have not had to pull it out in months. These days, the fear of something damning ending up on the interwebs has cured many in positions of authority from abusing their power.

Dup, it must be the soft ware.

Not correct Dr. Drago.   The deal is that I'll be checking the scale pad level sameness that you and or your crew did during setup. I've sold a bunch of tickets for the event under the Drago Big Top. Some folks even made wagers on the event. This side show dealing is kind of fun and could be very rewarding (for the guy with th ewater level).

Hey, as long as you have the Drago Big Top, maybe your Texas buddies could throw a texas sized Bar-B-Q feast.  Start a tradition Dude.

So that means I am going to have actually set the scales up myself.. I am liking this idea less and less.

maybe we need a few classes..

Most accurate
Fastest to set up to acceptable able level a of accuracy
accuracy and time combined

The tickets I've been selling for a level event under the Drago Big Top are very simple.  

 

Drago and or crew set up the scales using a 6 foot carpenters bubble level   . < Dems the rules dude along with setting up each indivuidual scale pad IIRC with a center bubble level.

 

Dewhurst places his water level tubes on a leveled pad to show water level accuracy, Dewhurst checks scale pad levelness. 

 

WE ALL drink Drago's $100.00 worth of beer  , while Lamb is using his lazer level

 

If this is the best smack we can get going for the Sprints, it pretty lame.
