New and Improved Web Site

Spent a few days putting up a new and improved website with a more intuitive URL:  www.rentalsolar.com.  Dan and I have been working quite a bit with the new Regional Sales Manager: Roger Mericka.   There's a lot of activity going on, and I am optimistic there will be more news about the Citizenre Plant very soon!

Orton Park Festival

Dan and I spent the weekend at the Madison Orton Park music festival.  This has got to be Madison's largest venue for outdoor music:  Blues, Rock, and Zydeco to open and close the event.  We had to put up our 'gone dancin' sign for the last (Zydeco) band and join the dancing throng.

It was two days of gorgeous sunshine that was a very welcome break from the nearly constant rain of the prior week.  The grounds were a bit muddy - but the people came out in droves in search of great music, food, community and SUN!   We were there with our Solar booth - what could be more appropriate!

One of the Ecopreneurs on our team, Duane Faitel, also stopped out, and we were able to sign up quite a few folks to reserve their Solar Electricity sytems.

Chicago Green Home Fair

We were able to combine a business and personal trip to Chicago this past weekend.  We participated in the Chicago Green Home Fair - a small, yet well-attended event focusing on homeowners wishing to incorporate environmentally-friendly services and products into their remodeling and building projects.    We also got to met and work with our Chicago Based Ecopreneur - Bill Cardy. 

Signed up a few customers, and made some good contacts with environmentally-aware providers in the Chicagoland area.

Fete De Marquette - What a BLAST

Oh my - what a weekend!  Dan is still cleaning up the soon-to-be-famous SunnyDawn Booth from the Fete de Marquette music fest in Madison. Great food!  Fabulous people... and the Dynamite Music!!!!   

Talked to a lot of folks from the area about the REnU opporptunity, and signed up quite a number of Madison's Finest.   Lots of folks interested in Renewable Energy in good ole' Mad-Town.

Dan has been on site every second of the event - I was there Friday night and half the day Saturday... and another Ecopreneur team-mate, Duane, worked with Dan on Sunday.   I was a less than reliable helper. since I've been fighting a nasty summer cold.

Time to do the computer/paperwork... and get ready for another busy week!

Tennis woes

2007 has been a rough tennis season for me thus far - I'm playing up a level from the last several years (due to a serious glitch in the USTA computer ranking system) , and am running into some very tough competition in singles.  A few weeks ago I got stomped by a (very nice), very nice, very very tall, 19 year old woman who weighs about as much as my left leg.   Faring a bit better on my mixed doubles team...

Tonight won a nice mixed doubles match on a gorgeous evening with one of my fav tennis partners - Paul..  He's 6'4"... so we make quite a contrast on the court.  Each of the three courts on my team won tonight!  Yea team!  We have such a nice group of people on my mixed doubles team.  

At least I can amuse myself with these blog entries...    Actually - I've bailed on my womens team the last two weeks due to a very nasty and persistent summer cold, which eventually morphed into a sinus infection.  Can't do singles until I can run and breathe simultaneously!

MidWest Renewable Energy Fair

Dan and I were in Stevens Point a few weeks ago at the MREA.  We talked to a number of folks about the REnU opportunity.  This was a well-informed environmentally aware group.  A number of people were interested and signed up at the fair.  We also talked to a number of people who already had solar panels and / or were considering purchasing a system rather than renting.  

Ironically Paula's son, who attends school at UW-Stevens Point, was out of town - so we didn't get a chance to see him on this visit.  Maybe next time.

Welcome!

Welcome to Dan & Paula's Blog!  We're still experimenting with this site - so bear with us as we tinker.  We hope to post our thoughts regarding some of our more memorable adventures here. 

To start things on a positive note - we had an absolutely great experience at the recent WaterFront Music Festival in Madison, WI on the weekend of June 9-10.  Great weather, great music and great people!  We love Madison!  (Correction ... Dan loves Madison, and I love it in the SUMMER)  ... Paula... your humble fledgling web/blogmaster
