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: Global Entry Renewal
Back pre-COVID, I had to go for an interview to renew my Global Entry, but my wife did not. Seems to be the luck of the draw. (View Post)1 -
Re: Eiffel Tower Visit?
I agree with Sealord. If you're that far up on the Eiffel Tower, you really need to go to the top, just to do it. if you don't, you'll regret it later. I went many, many years ago when… (View Post)1
