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: Is it time to boycott cash tips to get Tauck to join the modern era?
On one Tauck tour, I was talking with the TD about small groups compared to standard sized groups. She preferred the standard sized groups because she got more in tips. She said Tauck used to pay mor… (View Post)1 -
Re: Salzburg versus Cesky Krumlov
If you go to Salzburg, go to the Augustiner Bräu Kloster Mülln beerhall. Best beerhall I've been in. Much, much better than the Hofbräuhaus in Munich. The Hofbräuhaus is a tourist place. Augusti… (View Post)1 -
Trip Cancellation on Crystal
I received an email from Crystal today announcing "Peace of Mind Promise". Reading the blurb, it says that you can cancel up to the last day before your cruise and you'll receive a cru… (View Post)3
