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: own chopsticks?
I agree with Claudia. The rough Japanese chopsticks are much easier to use than the polished ones you often see in China. Regarding children's chopsticks, a Japanese friend showed me how to conv… (View Post)1 -
Re: anyone on the July 31st Tanzania, Kenya & rwanda?
Given the poverty in Africa, I'm sure they get lots of workers who would love to be porters. And many Americans are generous and add a tip to the amount charged. Porters probably make more than … (View Post)2
