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

Re: Less Christmas Lights in Europe this year at the Christmas Markets
I assume they will use LED lights which use a LOT less power than the older incandescents. I hope they will be given a power budget and will be allowed to work within that budget. People are ingeniou… (View Post)1 -
Re: Belissima tour and The Last Supper
@AlanS - We were in Egypt in October 2018 with Uniworld. I also took a lot of pictures in the tombs with just the lighting that was there. Some examples at https://www.mikeandjudytravel.com/2018Egypt… (View Post)-1 -
Re: Belissima tour and The Last Supper
I went to see it and was underwhelmed. You purchase a ticket for a time slot. Then they take you in the room with a lot of other people and tell you you can't take any pictures. After a certain … (View Post)1
