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: Northern Spain the Rioja Valley and Madrid- a brief report
That's definitly true for us. We used to travel independently, make our hotel reservations, schlep our bags, and often hire a local guide. But those days are over. I appreciate the services Tauc… (View Post)6 -
Re: Apple AirTags and Equivalent Bluetooth Tracking Devices (for luggage and other personal items)
The batteries in an AirTag are quite small but Apple says the batteries will last about a year. That means that the AirTag is not transmitting all the time - it's listening. When an Apple device… (View Post)2
