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: cigars
You'd have to check with Tauck - but my understanding is that Tauck river ships are almost completely non-smoking (includes vaping). I think there might be a place on the top deck at the back of… (View Post)1 -

@British - If you decide to get a local tour guide, I used one a couple of years ago in Barcelona and would recommend him. I'll go ahead and put his name in. Javier of Barcelona Tour Guide - www… (View Post)1
