How can we be at the end of August already? Time waits for no one, I suppose. Well, enough of me channeling my inner old lady...let's get to the week's recap. We have solid hands-on articles detailing centrifugal pumps and hot-oil system cleaning. We also are tooting our own horn on a few nominations for editorial excellence. And we are taking the last of the cartoon caption submissions for the current cartoon. I promise I will get another cartoon up soon. -- Traci Purdum, editor-in-chief
