Well, you folks sure had fun with my name, and I must admit I got

Could you please convert 5859.375 pounds P.S.I. into Newtons of

>IF YOU SEE THIS POST..... insert the name "Newton" somewhere in

Possible topics might include the bad effects of fig newtons when
dropped behind grand fallboards, or perhaps Sir Isaac Newton as
the father of all the physics that is built into pianos, or
perhaps we could discuss the hunt we often undertake to discover
and eradicate the various piano squeaks, buzzes, and rattles. It
could all make Newton's newton hunt, uh, search very productive
in a few days.

You just became part of "it" by mentioning his name.

Or as Barrie says, one of Newton's laws. No need to get physics-al.

I bet Newton will think twice before announcing his departure and
say he will search for posts containing his name upon return.
That should be Newton's Second Law.

I wonder if Newton knows what "coyote ugly" means??

Maybe Newton knows, but he's not here now, is he?

I bet it's more humid where Newton is relaxing than it is here, now.

As they say, no Newton is good Newton (or something like that).

That may be true, but you will surely need to HUNT for that

I should have let Newton answer this one.

Even though Newton said I should get something else, I didn't
follow his advice, so now I'm having to Hunt for parts.

The silence of our esteemed brother Newton is almost deafening!!!

Hi, Newton.
Welcome back. You were missed. The list just wasn't the same
without you. We often mentioned your name while you were gone! :-)
Jim Bryant (FL)
I am sure that when Newton gets home, on Monday, that he will
agree with me.
David
We miss you, Newton!
Jon Page
Hi Newton, any interesting reading?
Avery
Welcome back Newton!!!!
Jim Bryant (FL)
Hey y'all;
Newton is back ! He has solved the problem of Kimballs top of
the line, so our faith in him was not misplaced. :-)
Welcome home Newton, we expect a short report on ceegars, liquid
refreeshments and activities during your absence
...........after all everyone has been taking up slack fo ya. :-)
Christopher D. Purdy
There are a few caveats I could think of, perhaps
Newton will have some more when he returns! (We miss you New-
ton!)

PS Did anyone mention that Kohler and Campbell once built a piano
called the "Newton"? No kidding.
Keith A. McGavern
Now that's a good one! :-)
Susan
Just to put the cherry on top of the sundae, Newton gets home today.
Barrie
Not to be confused with Newton 's Law
Roger Jolly
Kind of reminds me of that ole tooner that worked out of the
Rump, who ran a great series of articals in by gone Journals, I'm
sure Newton knew him personally. Newton day is now D minus one.
Jon Page
Newton will be back tomorrow, maybe he'll have something to say:-)
Barrie
I bet this will bring a chuckle to Newton's chops
Barrie
Maybe Newton has a stake in them as well
Susan
Or will Jerry have to wait for Newton to get some real help? That
might make him late on his estimate.
Michael Jorgensen
With Newton and CA glue it's likely possible.
Michael Jorgensen
This is a pianotech list, you should be talking about items
like technical things about Hunt pianos and Newton pianos- Did
either of them ever build a piano with nauga?
Dan Hallett, Jr. RPT
If anyone could do it, Newton could figure it out.
Rob Goodale, RPT
It is located near the beautiful and ever-so-popular vacation
resort town of "Newton", Arizona. The Nagas run wild everywhere,
and are beautiful at this time of year.

Welcome home, Newton. We've missed you, over and over and over.
and over and over....We did indeed! Welcome Home, Newton!
Don, Susan, Roger
I couldn't give a fig (Newton of course)
Newton is the all new Imperial weights and measures. A New Ton is still
heavy and equals the weight of two model D's.
Steinway will modify their brochures to read Weight=1/2 a Newton.
I wonder what fraction of a Newton Newton weighs?
Shall we all start measuring weight by fractions of two Steinway D's?
Newton! Welcome home! (whenever) How was your trip?
I hope Newton won't mind a quote from a private post:
Jan 15th is the day I return from Cuba.
Have fun and don't say anything interesting until I get back.
Can we hold out? Can we keep our standards up? Can anyone find
another meaning for the word "Newton"? Remember, it has to be fun but dull!
Welcome home, Newton. We've missed you, over and over and over.
Avery
You mean someone hasn't been saving all the "Newton" posts in
order to forward them to him? It would have been a great time-
saver for him. :-)
Roger Jolly
Question! How on earth do we police Newton to ensure that he
follows through and reads all his valuable mail? Maybe we could
devise some kind of test.
Les Smith
Probably Newton could, too!

Although I am sure that Newton will be pleased of this description of
him it might be just a little 'tooooo' much don't you think??? :-)
Now, now ... tut.
So, you want to change the subject line from:
Re: Appraisal of old Chickering
to:
"Re: Appraisal of old Newton"?
Does anyone know the minimum age for Japan's Living Treasures?
They all seem as old as the hills. Sorting through all his posts
will age Mr. N. Hunt quite enough, IMHO.
Second the motion. Does this mean he will have to attend meetings
and wear one of those hats with horns?
No, NO!! He _mustn't_ wear a hat with horns! He might be mistaken
for a Nauga! They're bringing in premium prices these days! He
would be in mortal danger, especially if he ever visited Waco!

Subject: Taxing Newton(was: HUNT for messages)
I hope Newton has time to file his quarterly income tax return
when he gets back on the 15th.
I just finished entering December's check book figures into
Quicken for last quarter results, then TurboTax will import
everything. All I have to do is hunt for more deductions.
Les Smith
Just ask Newton!
Leslie
I did hear some Newton guy was doing some marvelous things with figs...
Ron Nossaman
Maybe you should find out, make THAT your standard, and express
the weight of two D's in Hunts. We could make up a chart and
everything. BTW, he walks at about MACH .00404. Perhaps Newtons
are really a unit of velocity.

Hello and welcome home Newton!
As you can see, you were sorely missed by virtually everyone on
the list. You're right, of course. I did forget your name on
this one, but you were included on most of my posts.
Hope you had a great trip. I sincerely appreciate your contribu-
tions to the list and, most of all, your sense of humor.

I certainly agree. There's no telling how many bogus messages

I am sure that when Newton gets home, on Monday, that he will
agree with me. Conrad, I think that one of Newtons objectives
during this vacation was to visit the "nagau" ranches in the
Tampa area with an eye toward starting one at home.

Oh, we must remember to share this with Newton Hunt when he gets

Wow! What an idea! It's like....REAL bad news. My old Atlas says:
NEWTON, KOHLER & CAMPBELL, See K&C numbers for uprights,

Only four "HUNTS" are listed, with no real info.

Nothing fun going on in the ol' Pianotech Treehouse. Newton would
know what to do, he would Hunt something up.

At this point, thanks to his incredibly mature sense of humor,
kind understanding, love of his fellow humans, irrepressible
patience, adherence to moral values, admiration for technicians,
respect for life in general, and massive imbibing of rum, etc,
etc, he'll probably not kill any of us........on the other hand,
he might just delete anything that DOES have a "Newton"!
By the way, Sir Newton, if you can't find the festering wound
that started this foray,.......... yes... twas I.
