If you are not on the schedule and should be, please see if you can fill in some of the missing slots. If you ARE tentatively scheudled, check that I got your constraints right and also NOTE that if you are in an incomplete slot, indicated by *, you will NOT be able to actually work that shift unless both conditions below are satisfied:<BR>><BR>>1. All sessions MUST have at least TWO COOP people on-site. They do not both have to be making fuel, but they do both have to have signed the waiver. A non-fuel-making workparty does count.<BR>>2. All sessions should have at least one lead mixmaster. This will be difficult at first, as we are still both short on fully trained mixmasters and working on the training process itself, so you get to self identify as to whether you are a lead or not. Until we have a set process, we'll have to ask that each of you be cautious about your level of experience.<B R>><BR>>To this end, we are updating the procedure documentation (the "Brew Book"). Zac will be sending a draft to Brian today. Brian, could you send the latest draft to the list by Sunday (Monday at the latest, so the next shift has access?) Before each session, PLEASE make a copy of the most recent draft and use it as a guide. There have been a few problems, both large and small. We don't want to stall processing again, but we do also have to get our efforts coordinated and debugged.<BR>><BR>>OK, here is the proposal:<BR>><BR>>Monday, Aug. 6<BR>>* Bill Dodds - wants 2-6 I think, but needs company until the rest arrive<BR>>5-9 Jordan, Adam, Zac<BR>><BR>>Wednesday, Aug 8<BR>>2-6 Bill, George<BR>>4-8 Tom, Pete<BR>><BR>>Thursday, Aug 9<BR>>* 5-9 Guy, Jordan (do we need an experienced lead here?)<BR>><BR>>Wednesday, Aug 15<BR>>2-6 Georg e, Bill<BR>>* 4-8 Tom, (2nd required on site)<BR>><BR>>Thursday, Aug 16<BR>>5-9 Jordan, George<BR>><BR>>Saturday, Aug 18<BR>>10-2 Guy, George<BR>><BR>>Monday Aug 20<BR>>5-9 Adam, George<BR>><BR>>Wednesday Aug. 22<BR>>* 2-6 Bill ((2nd required on site)<BR>>* 4-8 Tom (2nd required on site)<BR>><BR>>Thursday, Aug 23<BR>>* 5-9 Guy, Jordan (do we need a lead, or do you feel you'll be ready for prime time?)<BR>><BR>>Friday, Aug 24<BR>>5-9 Jordan, George<BR>><BR>>Still waiting to hear about scheduling this period from a few of you! Let me know additions/changes/corrections.<BR>><BR>>thanks<BR>>Tamar<BR>><BR>>ps Sometime at the end of August/early september I will be having a baby, so ideally I would like to get September scheduled well in advance, as in by mid August. That can happen if you all send me your septemb er info. If I can't get September scheduled by the time Scout shows up, we will need someone to take over scheduling for a month or two. Any volunteers?<BR>>-------------- next part --------------<BR>>A non-text attachment was scrubbed...<BR>>Name: not available<BR>>Type: application/ms-tnef<BR>>Size: 3972 bytes<BR>>Desc: not available<BR>>Url : http://lists.osourcery.com/pipermail/mixmasters/attachments/20070802/0e626c3c/attachment-0001.bin<BR>><BR>>------------------------------<BR>><BR>>Message: 2<BR>>Date: Fri, 3 Aug 2007 08:30:26 -0700 (PDT)<BR>>From: "George M.

Use the 3/27 test.<BR>><BR>><BR>>AFTER DRYING FUEL: We test another sample of fuel when it has dried. Use the 3/27 test AND do a heat test.<BR>><BR>><BR>>Here are the test procedures:<BR>><BR>><BR>>3/27 test<BR>>-------------------------<BR>>Mix 3 ml of oil with 27 ml of methanol. Use the yellow bulbed eye dropper to measure oil. Use the 100ml graduated cylinder to measure methanol. There is a glass jar labelled methanol with the other chemical supplies. Mix the two in a closed CLEAN jar. Swirl it for about a minute. As you swirl, if there are any droplets of FFAs, they will coalesce together into a liquid-like bead of pale yellow. If you see any sized bead, the fuel hasn't fully reacted. If you are in doubt, do a second test.<BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>>Heat test<BR>>---------------------------<BR>>use one of the metal cups to measure 20ml of fuel.<BR>>Weigh the cup with fuel on the scale and write down the weight.<BR>>Heat the cup on the hot plate until the temp is 212 degrees Fahrenheit (the boiling point of water). When it reaches 212 turn off the hot plate and remove the cup.<BR>>Weigh the cup with fuel again and record the weight.<BR>><BR>><BR>>If there is a gram or more difference between the preheated and the postheated weights, the fuel probably contains water.<BR>><BR>><BR>>If you have questions, call me. 971-563-2477.<BR>><BR>><BR>>Have fun. Be safe. Feed Bio the cat 1 cup of food (in the conex).<BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>>On Jul 22, 2007, at 8:34 AM, Pete Kramer wrote:<BR>><BR>>guess that zac@ email is no good now, huh?..<BR>><BR>>----- Forwarded Message ----<BR>>From: Pete Kramer <pete_kramer2@ya hoo.com><BR>>To: Tamar More <[email protected]><BR>>Cc: Zac Imboden <[email protected]><BR>>Sent: Saturday, July 21, 2007 3:06:08 PM<BR>>Subject: Re: [mixmasters] Mixmaster work schedules<BR>><BR>>Thanks much for getting that info out there! I don't know how you feel, but this is a fantastic start towards getting us up and going again as a coop! Just a heads-up that I don't see on my pc any bold lettering for the expierenced mixmasters as it mentions out there.<BR>><BR>>I will be out there on Mon!<BR>><BR>>Pete<BR>><BR>>p.s. message to Zac, I saw in the log book that Bill and Tom on Wed moved the remaining fuel out of dist tote into black barrel and moved finished fuel in dryer into ditr tote and said it passed 3/27. I was at the site yesterday just to get some Bluesky fuel and had a li ttle bit of extra time so thought I would practice some 3/27 tests. Bluesky fuel passed, saw NO bubbles. Tested fuel in dist tote (actually what was left in the dist tote distribution hose) and I don't think it was even close to passing. It should definitely be checked again. And this may raise a bigger issue of testing training and working on cosistency since we will be having 5,8,10,++ different members doing our quality control tests.

I also added an area for listing additional availability which has not been scheduled, either for lack of a partner (we don't want people working at the site alone). I am posting these so if someone can team up with someone else ont he list, they can join forces without having to go throuh me. Of course, I will also be actively trying to clear that area as well. Note that there are several people in the process of being trrained, so they need to partner up for now with the more experienced mixmasters.<BR>><BR>>tamar<BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>><BR>>Shape Yahoo! in your own image.
