\n\tHello from Sacramento<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tSaturday morning – May 12, 2018   (First post of this travelogue)<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThis trip was to present a NTT class.  It was what they call a regional class which means that it is held in a hotel and folks from various companies attend.  The class was LRSA which concentrates on bearings, lubrication and shaft alignment (including the use of dial indicators and a laser).  This class was held at the Lions Gate Hotel Link to Google Map<\/a><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tLRSA is a four day class – in this case Tuesday through Friday.  They could not get me out  Friday evening, so I am flying home today.  I flew out last Sunday so that I could visit with my good friend Steve Leach on Monday before the classes started.  As I have said many times Steve and I are almost like brothers and we even look a bit alike.  I met Steve in the late 80s when he was a Gates customer selling blower belts to the fuel teams in NHRA drag racing.  It did not take long for the relationship to change from customer\/vendor to friendship.  Pat and I  have visited Steve and his family a few times and I try to get out to see him whenever I am in the area.  He is also a car nut and has a couple of fantastic projects going right now.  <\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIt is a fun drive to his location which is in North San Juan about an hour and a half from Sacramento.  The drive is beautiful.  His home and business buildings are very remote and are located next to a huge gold placer mine Link to Google Map<\/a>.  If you look at the map, the pin is at his house, and the manufacturing facilities (race car parts) is to the right.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe class went very well.  There were six students and we were able to have fun dialogues during the class.  They were quite attentive an did well on the trainers.  I enjoy teaching the various classes, but when the student group has good participation\/dialog, it make it even better.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThat is all for this trip<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
