Scott Wahlin, CGCS said: (To paraphrase) I have been doing irrigation R&M since 1973 and took college classes in irrigation design and installation. As I recall we were told that the pressure in the system is generated by the pressure of the pipe against the water, not the pump.
Wha.....wha.....wha......WHAT? Scotty, pressure is LOST by that friction, not produced by it. Dude, in the Kirkster's most awesome eloquent words, you should have told your irrigation design professor to "pound sand". Although, I'm not quite sure what that would have accomplished other than some nasty abrasions on his knuckles.
Okay, now that we have resolved that minor issue, I'm quite sure that we are all in agreement that this man should not be let close to a shovel, or any pipe, or any irrigation machinery, or any design programs. In fact, while you're at it, perhaps you could confiscate his pencils, drawing paper, drafting stencils, and any ability to make copies of his designs. That may require a court order, but I'm sure the ASIC would be willing to help you with that. At least with the pencils.
Paul,
I don't believe you need any "ammunition". You need two very large men with straitjackets to escort this gentleman quietly out of your board meeting. He is certifiable. I would be afraid to have him cook my hamburger. And since I sometimes frequent McDonald's, my standards are hardly up there.
Dear McDonald's Board of Directors, please don't sue me.
