12:08:30 From John Lapotaire :
12:09:07 From John Lapotaire : The zeroth law of thermodynamics defines thermal equilibrium and forms a basis for the definition of temperature: If two systems are each in thermal equilibrium with a third system, then they are in thermal equilibrium with each other.
12:09:38 From Radio Joe : Winner great to have you back live John!!
12:09:51 From John Lapotaire : Great to be alive

I had the easy job this week. Pete and Cliff did the heavy lifting this week along with the DYOJO's Jon Isaacson. It's always a pleasure to chat with Andy Ask and get his perspective on building science, HVAC and his favorite organization ASHRAE.

One statement that got my attention was brought up during the show. There is never a bad time to ask for payment!!
As a small contractor I appreciate that sentiment. One of the toughest things about contracting is making sure you get paid. We have been VERY successful in that respect by following the advice of our peers.

Hopefully as I get my back better and better I will be able to travel to a few select events again in the future. Along with Summer Camp, The Winter Break series of events (Lauderdale one year and Naples the next) will be one I plan to make sure is on the calendar. You should too!
