Occupation- Design Engineer, I'm predominately a S/W geek (drives and control systems S/W, HMI, etc).

Background- Born Loudonville, Oh in 1953; high school Elyria High, 1971; a short trip through the Marine Corps (to evade the draft); Hocking Tech College; University of Texas at Dallas.

Misc Travels- Lived a while in upstate Wisconson (that is COLD in the winter); Cincinnati, Oh (a "neat" city); Chicago (that was different); Texas (hence "ohio" mike). Made a trip "down-under" (Cloncurry, Queensland, Australia) to the outback to work on this curious machine

(problems getting it to run on 50 hz power). Yes it is ELECTRIC, you can see the extension cord running along the bank (6600 VAC).

Hobbies- Old junk cars (as you have guessed), small dark taverns (night-clubs need not apply), chasing (?) women (any one dumb enough to be married twice will probably do it x number of times).

The Hog's Breath Salon- a classic "open air" bar with great music all day long (mostly folk and acoustic).

Or Irish Kevins- When Taz is playing. Great performer, great music.
