<VV> Convention Wardrobe

[Dennis & Debbie Pleau]

Chuckster, come and check it out!  MacMinnimans is a Portland  micro 
brewery with a few restaurants/pubs around the Portland area.  The featured 
beer is the Terminator Stout, it will grow hair on your chest.  I don't 
think they have anything in a bent martini glass.

I was in Portland ~10 times a year for a lot of years for business.  I 
going to turn down an assignment to either Aloha or Hillsbourgh in the next 
few days, they want me to go out for a training assignment for 12 to 18 
months.  When I was single these were great, now I leave them for the 
younger people.  It also means I won't be initially involved with the 
making of the next generation of Intel microprocessors, but us old dogs who 
know to make a process work/sustain a process get pulled in real quick when 
the process hiccups.  I really enjoy the Portland area but my position as a 
non-degreed engineer with 22 year experience doesn't pull much weight in a 
design center like Hillsbourgh, OR, with a bunch of PHds right out of 
college, it pull a lot of weight in a high volume manufacturing facility 
where the goal is to get a lot of quality product out the door which is 
where I've found my niche.  Hopefully I will get a few business trips next 
year so I can bring a bunch of parts home.
