At our office we have very few walk in customers. We often go a week without eye to eye contact with customers. Much of our work is with out of state customers or delivered via FTP or shipped on DVD or even hard drives.

Today we had two customers walk in at the same time, and the phone started ringing. It was traumatic. I will need the weekend to recover.

OK, I'll ask: Why would a company that makes oil industry equipment be touting an electric car?

It's for looks. They are not common at all in these parts. It will draw attention no doubt.

New MAF for the Boxster: $326 with tax (Pelican is in CA.. I'm now in CA.... NOOOOOOOO!)

Pouring money into this car. It's worth it though.

I have however started to wander into the dark side thoughts of a 964 Cabriolet. In black.

In oil field produciton they operate dehydrators that separate glycol from gas. We have had a pump for most of the companies 60 years that operates on the differences in high pressure and low pressures in the system and consumes a small amount of gas production to do so. It is called a glycol pump.

This year we are announcing a new product, an electrically operated glycol pump. They are using the Tesla to help bring attention to the new electrically operated pump.

Liz was going to let you out? I was invited by by flight instructor. Didn't know if it was an open invitation.
