I see these on FB all the time so I thought I would try one here:
1. Smallest town you did a startup in: Waverly Iowa
2. Largest town you did a startup in: Chicago
3. Best foreign country you did a startup in: Canada
4. Worst foreign country you did a startup in: Mexico
5. Coldest weather you had to do a startup in: Indianapolis during an ice storm.
6. Warmest weather you had to do a startup in: Phoenix and a mining heat treating oven at that, in August.
7. Biggest startup you have done (Number of PLCs): 6 AB Pyramid Integrators with Vax modules.
8. Smallest startup you have done (Tiny PLCs): Pico Logix
9. Scariest machine/process you started up: CEM (Combined Effects Munitions) bomb-let high explosive and pressing machine.
10. Strangest machine/process you started up: Live land mine disassembly machine.
11. Most difficult startup you had: A system with a PLC-3 and 21 racks of AB 1771 IO. All of the racks had bad dip switches and when we went to run, all he!! broke loose. Beer, yeast, wort and CIP fluid every which way.
12. Messiest product you had to startup: Oreo icing line. Had to trash a pair of boots, 2 jeans and a computer bag.

20. Best hotel you stayed for a startup: A really nice executive hotel in downtown Indianapolis.
