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: Pre-Tour Recommended Activities for Venice and Dalmatian Coast
The museum is still there, as is the Synagogue, but they charge a fee to enter. Venice has seen a exodus of full time residents and I suppose that has included the Jewish residents. @sevenseas - we j… (View Post)1 -
Re: First time going on a safari!
Your comment would have been better received if you framed it as how it affected you personally. We all have a right to our feelings, such as you expressed about people who are not polite when taking… (View Post)1 -
Re: What type electric outlets in British Air lounges at LHR?
This falls into the paranoid area, but I don't like to plug into USB outlets in public places. The reason is that it can give software behind the plug access to your phone or iPad. I use a charg… (View Post)5
