Since we can't update the "About me" field, I thought I'd put some information here. I'm a retired electrical engineer, having spent the majority of my career in communications. I hold 32 US patents, mostly on communications subjects. Although it was not the focus of my career work, I have a decent knowledge of power distribution, both in the US and internationally, especially for residential service. I also have some knowledge of three-phase and single-phase electric motors and their control systems, but mostly only smaller motors maybe up to 10HP. After I retired, I took classes in woodworking and developed some level of skill. I've taught woodworking classes, short courses, in veneering, carving, dovetails, and box-making. I’ve built a lot of furniture for our home, to the point where my wife told me she doesn’t have room for any more in our house😊 My wife, Judy, and I travel a couple of times a year and I document our trips on our blog, www.mikeandjudytravel.com

  Even a 600-750 passengre ship doesn't rock and roll unless the seas get really bad. Cruise ships have staibilizers that conteract the rolling motion. See - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stabiliz…

  I looked at it but chose Yellowstone in Winter over it. I thought the Yellowstone in Winter gave more of a view of the park. And I chose winter because summer is just too crowded.
