[Zackdog]

Currently retired and loving it. I spend my summers fly fishing for trout and golfing, while my winters are spent keeping my quarter mile drive blown out and ice fishing for large lake trout. I spent twenty years as an engineer in the glass container industry, until 1987, when I took a voluntary separation package and moved to the mountains of Colorado. I worked in the ski industry until retiring in 2008, not as an engineer.

Retired!
I spent 40+ years designing electronic equipment that ranged from a beacon only precision bombing system, to factory automation computers, to life support equipment (heart assist), to blood analyzers, to commercial avionics.
