I have tried to make time to get it out but things just were not working my way. I hope to do better in the future or if someone else would like to give it a try, I will be glad to help you get started being the editor. How can we stir the interest in this association? We would like to get more members and get the members we have to take an active interest in this association. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy seeing and being with those of you who come to the meeting and classes and make the effort to help out. I also want to get more people involved in this association. With more people, we could get bigger and better training. Manufacturing reps would send people to train us and give away free samples and information. They like to do that only for larger groups of people. We have tried to have classes and training on a frequent basis, but we have a hard time filling a class. Why? What can we do to make it better for you the member? Let us know and we will try hard to make it happen. I am open for suggestions. See you at the meeting. Your President, Mike Middick, CML CSCLA 3 This Months Meeting Van Show & Office Locks This month at the meeting we will be having a Van Show and a hands on training session about office locks. Barry Meyer of Acoma Locksmith Service will be talking to us about office furniture locks, cabinet locks and other locks you might find in an office. If you have tips, tricks, or information to share about this type of locks, bring it to the meeting and share it with us. Come and give Barry your support. What is it? Can you guess what the object is in the picture? Bring your guess to the meeting and if you are right you will get a free scam ticket.

CSCLA 7 The Office of Vice President Tips For The Workers Getting more power from a screwdriver, at least more grip. Sometimes we use screwdrivers that seem to slip when we think they should grab and turn the screw. From what I read the tip sometimes will hold the tip away from the bottom of the screw head, meaning that the tip slips before turning the screw. If we remove a little of the very tip of the screwdriver (removing the pointed part) the tip of the screwdriver will go in deeper and allow more torque to be used. Just need to do this before the head is stripped. Maybe a larger screwdriver would also work, or the next size up at least. The next one is on running wire in walls or ceilings. We can use a piece of pex tubing to give us a clear point to point run. Guess it will even plow through insulation in the wall to get to the outlet. Believe the pex tubing is what they use for water runs in buildings. It is bendable enough to turn corners or start at the top on the header and go downward to the outlet hole. Once the pex is in place the rest is simple.. Run the wire and then remove the pipe and connect the wires as needed. This is something I will be trying the next time I am running wire in a wall. 8 CSCLA The last one I will be trying next week. The caulking gun I just bought and want to use for a few years, I will spray some WD40 on the large washer that goes into the tube when working right. Anyway it always seems to get gunk all over it and is hard to remove. WD 40 makes the material release and clean.
