2023 HYDRAULICS COURSE

2023 HYDRAULICS COURSE

The hydraulics course was on and I was assisting! As luck would have it, the weather went in sympathy with its own hydraulics show…

For me, the highlight of the day is the buoy wall: watching the participants unpacking and packing it back! They did well!

I was at the Cat 7 station explaining the finer points of drafting… Then, surprise! I was charged to demonstrate to each group, foam production with the Quenchmaster! I had visions of foam bubbling to the top of the tank… that did not eventuate!

A great day! Great participants! And I did learn some things, again…
