Default Re: IR Camera for $4495;00

So the class that you and John Mckenna teach is free? I thought that it was $500 or that is what it has on the website.

No. You missed my point. Have you taken any formal training, from people who know more than you (if they exist ) to learn how to do thermal imaging properly? I have. I have paid some $6,000 for this and have the formal certifictions (not including my training in college or 10 years or working at the University of Chicago).

BTW: I have NEVER recieved ANY money for teaching ANY classes. Some people have bought me beers, I admit.

I am not demeaning those NACHI educators who do charge to teach, in no way.

Maybe its just because I can, by this fact, totally deflate jerks like you.

So, you really don't know what you are doing, with regards to IR. What proof do you have that you are a "qualfiied and professioanal thermographer"?

Never claimed such. Did claim that I've done over 900 IR scans and never been proven wrong, including finding a dead cat filled with live maggets,
I can say without any reservations, I learned far more about IR inspections, , science of thermography, readiing the thermal image, emissivity, reflectivity, transmissivity, identifing moisture concerns locating energy loss, investigative procedures and liminations, etc. from a $39.00 CD ,than from your state approved CE that your so proud of.

Hey, people? WHo you gonna believe? Danny boy or the State's or Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana, as well as the NACHI convention in Toronto.

Your choice.

So, your just a know nothing poser who has hoodwinked your clients and misrepresented yourself as a Thermographer for "over 900 scans".

Are you really giving your clients your best effort?

No. But I did. I first did it back in 1981, when I taught at the University of Chicago medical school (Billings Hospital) to a class of interns, residents and attendings.

Seems like someone thought I was qualified, at least to the theory of IR scanning and thermal imaging.

Thats all, gosh you forgot to mention all your and your familys other qualificiations

No, I didn't. You kept asking so I answered.

Geez, guy! I am sorry that I have attended college, gotten degrees and that my parents also did so.

Sorry we let you down. Now I see that we should have all failed just so you could feel better about your lack of education.

Sorry 'bout that.


(Hint: scanning walls looking for moisture or cold air intrusion is a LOT easier than scanning for breast cancer, brain leisions and burn victim infections. And there is a LOT less liability.)


SO FREAKIN', WHAT? WHAT THE HECK IS YOUR POINT, ANYWAY.

LOL... LOL
Better talk to your partner. Last I heard all that info, and training is worthless in IR building inspections.

All I heard was good stuff. Granted, we could (and should) have taken a little more time to fine tune it, but that wasn't my decision.

If you have any comments that I am unaware of, please send them to me or call me (see below). If you don't (as you have never done) we can only assume that you are just plain full of it, as you have so abtly proven yourself in the past.

Put up or shut up, Dan.


So, I can only assume that you are just a stalker and have no desire to actually solve the problem (much less, clearly state it) that you have with me.

LOL. I'll leave the stalking to your buddy bushy.
I hear he's pretty good at it.
So I voted for Bush. What does that have to do with the point of this post?

Your asking me this question??

And your questioning my qualifications, what about the qualifications, and IR knowledge of the guys that payed you $500.00 [ your clients] for your IR certification training, that you admit needed more fine tuning before charging them $sss for it.





I can say without any reservations, I learned far more about IR inspections, , science of thermography, readiing the thermal image, emissivity, reflectivity, transmissivity, identifing moisture concerns locating energy loss, investigative procedures and liminations, etc. from a $39.00 CD ,than from your state approved CE that your so proud of.

Your choice.

You continue to state that Nick knows nothing, then you take his word for it about state CE.

You always want things both ways. In that way, you can continue to appear like you are never wrong.

But, I believe, the people reading this are smart enough to make up thei8r own minds.
