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 the Essence of Japan tour worth the money?
I agree with British but not everyone has the ability to stay with a Japanese family. I had friends in Japan (Japanese friends) and could stay with them but when you're a tourist, that may not b… (View Post)2 -
Re: Tauck Clothing and Advice for February 2023 Antarctica?
I didn't go to Antarctica with Tauck, but I think every tour provides coats for the trip. If you want to keep things dry, bring some large zip-lock bags or purchase a commercial dry-bag. When I … (View Post)1 -
