Fantastic!!!

1) Spoke with Terry
2) Met with Joe Petersen, selling his books on reliability, maintenance etc.., I think I was Joe's best client, all 4 days I bought at least 1 book
3) Bumped into Motordoc
4) Had a long chat with Jim Hall about ultrasound
5) Sat down in a roundtable discussion with Steve Turner (and others not yet maintenanceforums members), Doug Plucknette with Jack Nicholas as facilitator and
6) Met in person with Keith Mobley, discussed about his books (I didn't bring them to autograph )

Had a terrible knowledge boost about RCM, RCA, change management etc.. by attending the workshops RCM Methodologies, Metrics, Readiness Factors and Relationships to Other Elements of Asset mgmt conducted by Jack Nicholas and Reliability Managers Workshop by Mick Drew. Lots of contacts..

cons..
1) Didn't meet with Jon Mitchell (I was too busy...)
1) Didn't walked out with a printed version of Uptime, the October issue (Vee's article about operating main and back-up assets). I got other months, but this issue was nowhere to be found , but I will get it from Terry , only I cannot read it, when flying back home.

Resuming:
I have gathered enough ammunition to cr.. the beanies,

Oops.. Go hunting with the beanies for Reliability

Much more and than .

Had a blast. Enjoyed meeting a lot of the people that I run into on the forum. Great to put faces with names.
