The Second Edition for your Enquiring Minds

I recently got back from an American Public Works Association Trade Show in Minneapolis, where we discussed our product at length and distributed some samples for various public works departments around the United States. We have attended this show for a number of years and get numerous comments from people passing by testifying to Fluid Film's superior quality and variety of uses. I always find it interesting when people speak of firearm or fishing reel applications at these types of shows, since they are obviously not using Fluid Film on these items at work. Actually, I am always amazed at the number of people who talk about these types of applications at all shows we attend. We have done a limited job in promoting Fluid Film for recreational use, instead focusing on the marine and agriculture industries, yet invariably I will hear people discussing these types of applications and swearing by Fluid Film's ability to protect and lubricate their equipment. My belief is that these are items that are personal to them so they have a higher degree of interest invested there. I can be at a show talking to someone about how well Fluid Film will work in cold-weather applications since Fluid Film will not freeze and will keep snow from sticking to snow removal equipment, when I will see this little smile come across their face and I'll know that it's coming. Once they get a chance, they'll start telling me about how well Fluid Film worked on their guns during the winter, and they will go into great detail about their equipment and how they applied Fluid Film. I actually think it's pretty cool, since I can see their enjoyment and I can tell that other people are listening. It gives me a chance to take a break and shut up for a second.

Okay, back to Minneapolis. What a beautiful city it is, with a lot of glass architecture and interesting angles. I enjoyed my time there except for this one morning in the gym. I wanted to get a workout in before the show, so I got up early and headed down half-asleep. The gym was small, only consisting of a universal machine and two treadmills and two cycles. Anyway, I walk in and there is this skinny old guy with a beer gut dressed in nothing but these tiny little shorts, and he's either sweating up a storm or covered in some oil. I don't know because I really didn't want to look that close. Anyway, he would do a set on the machine and then walk to the mirror and start posing hard. I was taken back, but I just headed to a cycle and turned up the TV to try to tune him out. He went on for a while, and I did my best to ignore him and not laugh. You never know what you're going to run into on the road.

Our next stop promoting Fluid Film will be in Louisville, Kentucky, and I am looking forward to getting back there. I always enjoy Louisville, and this is a big Construction Utility & Equipment Show. Once I'm there, I'm just going to make sure I peek inside the gym before entering.
