It appears that 4 years ago Greta Lint, his girlfriend. needed an idea to promote the Statesville Pumpkin Festival. <br /><br />Well, Joel instantly responded, why not catapult pumpkins with political caricatures painted on the pumpkins down a field to predict the results of the 2004 election? Thus the Great Heads of Stateville Exit Poll was born. <br /><br />Believe it or not it was 80% accurate at predicting the races. And ironically it also discovered that John Edwards had a bad habit of misfiring-- oh that is another story-- but anyway with 2008 Election weeks away on October 24th they will be launching at least 20 more pumpkins. This time Mitchell Community College Physics and Industrial Maintenance classes have built and welded the catapult and an 8th grade art class will be painting the pumpkins.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZMTWMiN0Qfc/SPKzkhf5lDI/AAAAAAAAAOM/DygCzrLdpSM/s1600-h/Pumpkinchunkin.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZMTWMiN0Qfc/SPKzkhf5lDI/AAAAAAAAAOM/DygCzrLdpSM/s200/Pumpkinchunkin.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256461155143619634" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /> What Joel is particularly pleased is that it also helped launch the careers of several future engineers.

With the stockmarkets going down, the foreclosures rates going up, gas prices still outrageous, unemployment going up-- it is always comforting to know that where you can get your comfort food and the Joelburger ranks very high on many people's stress reliever lists. <br /><br />Well, we had a little scare recently upon seeing the front page of the local Greensboro News & Record. Lots of Joelburger fans were nervous that they would not be able to go to Elm Street and get future Joelburgers at Fincastles as negotiations on lease arrangments appeared to be on life support. <br /><br />We learned that on Friday that Fincastles has signed an amenable lease to all parties. Whoopee! Let's all celebrate by going to Fincastles and getting a homemade milkshake, Joelburger and fries. <br /><br />Good thing Congress didn't have to get involved or the Joelburger may be involved in a downward spiral.

To remove the viagral spammers who commented while away, decided to delete and repost. Joel is now back and is busy recuperating from Jetlag before developing pictures. However he did report that the 9 day excursion to Europe exceeded his wildest expectations in business and in the epicurean treasures he uncovered. He also fulfilled his mission for his father. A future post will be created to explain further. <br /><br />However he was delighted to return and sink his teeth into the simple ecstacy of the World Famous JoelBurger. And since the dollar has sunk more against the Euro, it appears that more Europeans will be taking vacations to try to the burger for themselves. <br /><br />------------------<br /><br />Joel Leonard departs Greensboro onto another flavor expedition into his homeland of Germany and then to speak in Brussels at Euromaintenance Conference. 10 generations ago, Valentine Leonhardt in 1746 went down the Rhein River and boarded the vessel Neptune in Rotterdam and then sailed to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Later he settled in Davidson County, NC and later fought in the battle of Guilford Courthouse. Afterward Valentine was later ambushed in home by revenge seeking tories who assasinated him.<br /><br />That story Dr Joel Leonard used to tell his son Joel over dinner with pride and he showed off his fluent German. Last year Dr Joel succumbed to his battle with cancer. On this trip back to the area of his origin Joel will sprinkle his Dad's ashes into the Rhein River as a special tribute to his father and his ancestors. <br /><br />We do not have long on this earth and that why Joel strives daily to live and enjoy life to its fullest!<br /><br />And as Dr Leonard said "CARPE JOELBURGER!"Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36791962.post-77085084947863746922008-03-23T23:56:00.002-04:002008-12-10T22:57:09.558-05:00On a Wim and a prayer<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZMTWMiN0Qfc/R-cmr7Hxv9I/AAAAAAAAANs/7ZT-khY8ry4/s1600-h/Wim-VancauwenbergheCROP.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZMTWMiN0Qfc/R-cmr7Hxv9I/AAAAAAAAANs/7ZT-khY8ry4/s200/Wim-VancauwenbergheCROP.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5181152432359587794" /></a><br /><br />Above is a picture of a big man from a small country. On his back he is courageously lifting the economies of Europe and striving to educate the world about the benefits of maintenance and engineering. So in Tribute to the European Maintenance Evangelist, Joel Leonard lifts his Chimay Belgian beer glass and says cheers. <br /><br />In two weeks Joel will be visiting Brussels to contribute to the European Maintenance Engineering Conference, the largest ever to be held in Europe. Together Joel, Wim and thousands of engineers hope to elevate the profession. www.euromaintenance.org<br /><br />Also they love to have fun and Joel hopes his European brethren can visit Fincastles and get to also enjoy the splendid tastes of the World Famous JoelBurger. <br /><br />Wim- Cheers to you and all that you do!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36791962.post-25235073866110890122008-03-14T17:51:00.003-04:002008-12-10T22:57:09.794-05:00Letty me have a JoelBurger!<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZMTWMiN0Qfc/R-Kn0bHxv8I/AAAAAAAAANk/DVnzGXM_pQw/s1600-h/DSC02165.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZMTWMiN0Qfc/R-Kn0bHxv8I/AAAAAAAAANk/DVnzGXM_pQw/s200/DSC02165.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5179887040504905666" /></a><br /><br />Above is another Joelburger Fan, Letty Steggman.

You might be surprised to learn that he’s a multifaceted guy who has a sandwich named after him. And, he blogs about it. When you visit Fincastle’s Diner in Greensboro, N.C., to order a Joelburger, you get a double Angus pimento cheeseburger served on sourdough bread. How can one go wrong with that sort of feast? Any calorie-starved mouse can learn more at www.thejoelburger.blogspot.com. If you can’t get to Greensboro, you can dream."</em><br /><br />Who knows perhaps Russ someday we may be able to make your dreams come true and give your tastebuds the enormous pleasure of biting into the first burger to inspire it's own Blog!

We thank all of the vets for all of their sacrifices so that we have the opportunity to enjoy the freedom to enjoy the gluttoneous pleasures and not have to endure tyranny.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36791962.post-45853722849445571442007-11-17T10:46:00.000-05:002008-12-10T22:57:12.548-05:00No competition from Collard Green Sandwich<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZMTWMiN0Qfc/Rz8NM4Z8jzI/AAAAAAAAAMc/hUdcfV7ZicA/s1600-h/Joel+Chicago+Greta+Collards+052.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ZMTWMiN0Qfc/Rz8NM4Z8jzI/AAAAAAAAAMc/hUdcfV7ZicA/s200/Joel+Chicago+Greta+Collards+052.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5133836615176458034" /></a><br /><br />We are always in constant search for a better sandwich. Above is a picture of a Collard Green Sandwich, which the locals of Maxton, NC, rave about. However the World Famous Joelburger is still the best sandwich. Sorry Maxton, as good as collard greens may be, they just can't compete with fresh grilled Angus patties with pimento cheese and Sourdough Bread.<br /><br />However the soup prepared from the local Campbell's plant will go great along with a Joelburger.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36791962.post-11521742001324441482007-11-06T22:36:00.000-05:002008-12-10T22:57:12.840-05:00Fincastles Diner-- The best in the Triad!<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZMTWMiN0Qfc/RzEzE8F8-WI/AAAAAAAAAMU/LxIAWBxnOeI/s1600-h/076.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZMTWMiN0Qfc/RzEzE8F8-WI/AAAAAAAAAMU/LxIAWBxnOeI/s200/076.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5129937610495293794" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36791962.post-49046333444456046772007-11-06T22:24:00.001-05:002008-12-10T22:57:13.283-05:00Europeans Love the Joelburger<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZMTWMiN0Qfc/RzEwO8F8-VI/AAAAAAAAAMM/EIGOVwZ69WY/s1600-h/085.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZMTWMiN0Qfc/RzEwO8F8-VI/AAAAAAAAAMM/EIGOVwZ69WY/s200/085.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5129934483759102290" /></a><br /><br />Recently, Joel met a German and a Czech visitor to Greensboro at a European beer tasting. Later they tried the World Famous JoelBurger and loved it!<br /><br />Joel hopes to make a return trip to Europe in 2008 to speak at the EuroMaint conference and perhaps win over more converts to the splendors of the Joelburger.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36791962.post-47038150967174440122007-11-06T21:17:00.001-05:002008-12-10T22:57:13.502-05:00Ometa got to eat a Joelburger<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZMTWMiN0Qfc/RzEgh8F8-UI/AAAAAAAAAME/-hi9d3ESKFU/s1600-h/091.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ZMTWMiN0Qfc/RzEgh8F8-UI/AAAAAAAAAME/-hi9d3ESKFU/s200/091.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5129917217990572354" /></a><br /><br />Friendly neighbor, and highly capable maintenance woman, Ometa Kenan, loved to eat a Joelburger. With the time change, the sun set early. Joel was in a jam. He was trying to assemble his new smoker/grill that his darling Greta gave him for his birthday. <br /><br />Ometa came to the rescue and helped Joel screw (ok keep a clean mind) the cooker together for the Joelburger cookout. She said later after finally getting a chance to eat the World Famous Joelburger, "This is a great burger! No wonder people love it!"Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36791962.post-50733576685461809182007-11-06T21:10:00.000-05:002008-12-10T22:57:13.839-05:00Future fans of the Joelburger?<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZMTWMiN0Qfc/RzEexMF8-TI/AAAAAAAAAL8/yYRA2Y2oT1g/s1600-h/016.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ZMTWMiN0Qfc/RzEexMF8-TI/AAAAAAAAAL8/yYRA2Y2oT1g/s200/016.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5129915280960321842" /></a><br /><br />Maybe so, maybe not. Each year for the last three years Joel has donated the morning of his birthday to speak to area kids about career options. As opposed to saying "cheese" each kid said "getta job!"<br /><br />Hopefully many of the these kids may fill the shoes of retiring workers, so that our economy may still grow - and that more people will have enough discretionary income to buy lots of Joelburgers.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
