A hearty welcome from downeast, a Bluenoser in this case. Sounds like you’ll fit right. Lots of varied life experience & skills around here. You aren’t the only Engineer either, there are a number here that like to get their hands dirty. All good fun! D :cool:

Greatest thing since sliced bread! You know, I worked for a very well known international company who built custom electrical/electronic assemblies as part of the final product and I even managed to get them to buy a shrink label printer (kicking and screaming) and what I got out of the...

Odd. My Mit lasts forever on a battery. D :cool:
