Biography

Tall, short, fat, skinny guy. Gett'in too old fast & too smart slow.
Appears to some might know too much & at same time not enough of materials engineering, propulsion, HT sensing, etc. But don't let me fool you, can still grind off some of my skin with a belt sander, or get that geared high-torque drill stuck quick enough to nearly break a wrist.

Interests

"If at all humanly possible, do it yourself!" Seems keeping this 04'TB on the road is in default.

Occupation

retired - aeropropulsion engineer
