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: How far out do you book your Tauck Tours & when will 2024 dates be released?
I'm trying to get on the list for two 2024 tours right now. One of them opened up as a "wait list" but the other not yet. In general, we plan our trips a couple of years in advance. Th… (View Post)2 -
Re: Electrical Outlet Number/Locations on Newly Renovated Riverboats
You can get chargers that will simultaneously charge a number of electronic devices and only take one outlet. Here's one that will do four. See if you can get your wife to purchase a 220 volt ha… (View Post)2
