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
