Dear Electronics Colleague:
Last month, I got to check off racing in a fat tire bicycle race from my "bucket list". This was held in the "North Woods" of Wisconsin. It was on the same trail as the infamous "Birkie" cross country ski race. It was a very challenging course!

StencilQuik(TM) Replacing BGAs Quickly
When our StencilQuik(TM) product was developed nearly (11) years ago, the primary purpose was being able to reliably and quickly allow for techs to place a BGA on a prototype or replace a BGA as part of a removal and replacement process with little equipment investment. The added benefit of being able to repair damaged solder mask has been added to this benefit.
We continue to improve this product based on customer demands. Call Chris Edwards at 847.797.9250 for further details or order online a custom version of the StencilQuik(TM) here.

Aaron from Epic Technologies was the first to answer last month's trivia question regarding the number of times Luke was hit by the combat remote. The answer was 2 times once on the left thigh and once on the left arm. There were a total of 4 people entered for the lightsaber drawing from last month.
From now until the end of the year in anticipation of the new Star Wars movie being released, we will be offering Star Wars prizes for all of the monthly winners. This month it is again a set of (10) Darth Vadar wine charms. At the end of the year all winners (right answer within (1) day of the question coming out, not just that months' winner) will be eligible to win a working light saber.
Question for March 2015:
An Imperial walker crushes whose body under its foot?
