D-500 Flogger
- Enjoy building engines/suspensions/etc that turn stock-appearing cars into sleepers. (fits my sense of humor)
- For 22+ years always pretended I was working on SR-71s...while actually maintaining avionics on C-130s > F-106s > F-16s (Block 10/25/30)
- The more I learn...the less I know. So humbling!
- Big history buff on all things of excellence & the people responsible for them
(Audio, Aviation, Autos, Computers, Music, Musicians, etc)
- Enjoy photography, always trying to hone my chops with the Nikon D7000
- drive an AWD '02 Honda CR-V...with a factory 5-speed manual. Turning 20, on a solid trajectory to outlast the owner. Maybe do the Willie The Wimp thing?
- Civilian career: I started out as an analog stranger in a strange digital land. I worked my way from the analog/digital disks, vacuum-column tape drives, and drum line printers back towards the 16 & 32 CPUs / clusters / networks at DEC. So fortunate to get to spend so much time as the dimmest bulb on the raised-floor computer-room tree...
- Gonna need to bust some rust off of my analog skills...asap!
