Final reminder that the North Texas Teslathon is this Saturday, October 
30th., from 9:00 a.m. until about 11:00 p.m. 

Bert Pool 




The 2010 North Texas Teslathon will be the last Saturday in 
October, October 30th. at Bert Pool's place. I am located about 
15 miles west of Fort Worth Texas @ 233 Remuda Circle West, Fort 
Worth Texas. Contact me off-line at P00L256@xxxxxxxxxxx 
</mc/compose?to=P00L256@xxxxxxxxxxx> (those are zeroes, not 
oh's) if you need more specific directions on how to get here. 
We have 120 and 240 volts available (50 amps) for those who wish 
to bring Tesla coils. We'll be setting up the Wart Hog outdoors 
(here's hoping for suitable weather!), so we should have some 12 
foot sparks out in the driveway, come evening darkness. There 
will be a number of interesting non-Tesla related projects on 
show this year, so if you have a cool project, bring it along. 
And we almost always drag out some lasers, microwave 
gunnplexers, and other interesting things. Wild Bill is going to 
set up his big quarter shrinker this year. If you have 
interesting equipment for sale or trade, toss it in the back of 
the car or truck and bring it along! We'll have basic grilled 
burgers and hot dogs, chips and drinks, so expect to pony up a 
few bucks to cover food costs, or you can make arrangements to 
bring food/ice/chips/dip/etc. 

If you are coming, please let me know, so I'll know how much 
food to buy. 'Thon starts about 9:00 a.m. and will run until 
about 10:00 or 11:00 p.m. 

And if you have a friend that you know would really enjoy this, 
bring him/her along. No small children, please. And no alcohol - 
booze and high voltage do not mix. 

The good sparks will all start when it gets dark, so if you do 
not want to hang around all day, then be sure to arrive just 
before it gets dark. 

The nearest motel, for any long distance travelers, is located 
at the intersection of White Settlement Rd and Loop 820 N:

Lat/long for motel is about 32.76188, -97.47934, and is about 7 
miles from Bert's house. Since I live off White Settlement Road, 
it is a convenient place to stay. I've never stayed there, but 
what can I say? A Best Western is a Best Western.

Teslaton hosts, are certainly due a little break!
