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: Kempinski Ishtar Hotel
No, it was a woman and I think it was because of my good looks. She probably thought I was some movie star :) I encounter that problem often. [BTW, men wake up, look into the mirror and say, "I … (View Post)2 -
Re: Switzerland Crown Jewel September 1
@maitcarmom - You don't go to a really high altitude. We essentially live at sea level and didn't have any problems - and I didn't hear of anyone who did. But do be careful in the Ice … (View Post)1 -

I'm late posting this, but I'll offer this link for those who might be taking this tour. It may help you better understand what you will see and do on the tour. https://www.mikeandjudytrave… (View Post)1
