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: Cuba: A Cultural Odyssey 2024/2025
I went to Cuba in 2016. It's a very interesting place to visit and a cautionary tale for socialism. One of their major sources of their GDP is remittances from Cubans who now live in the US. The… (View Post)1 -
Re: Hurricane disruption for Bluegrass tour departing Oct 1
Off subject but I hope no one on the forum lives in the Tampa/St. Pete area. If so, stay safe (get out of town) - we'll be thinking of you. (View Post)1
