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

    @British - Yes, it's two units, one open and one closed. I sometimes wonder who chooses these things. Even without using them yourself, it should be obvious it's not very practical. Althoug…

    British is right. It's nice when someone wants to give you a gift but if it's something you won't use, all of the manufacturing chain has been a waste - from the effort of the people w…
