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

I've flown LATAM a number of times and always thought they did a good job. (View Post)1 -
Re: The Danube strikes again
@DawnH - I'm afraid it's way too late for any rain to affect the rivers enough for an 8/28 departure. Whatever you see on the river today is pretty much what you're going to see on 8/2… (View Post)1 -
Re: Budapest to Prague September 8 departure. Who else is doing this one?
That's a good observation. I expect the contract between Tauck and Scylla says that if Tauck cancels they still have to pay Scylla, but if Scylla cancels, they don’t. So Tauck has to wait until … (View Post)2
