another geek

I spent 5 years as a EE designing stuff for a government nuclear site and then coding the device drivers, moved into Project Mgt / Program Mgt for about 15 years with Digital Equipment. Went independent for a while and started a small consulting operation. Now I am director of QC for an electronic funds transfer company ( we do stuff similar to the FED moving $,$$$,$$$,$$$,$$$ between banks). Had our first $3T day this week.

On the car side I started playing wrench in high school, worked at an autoparts store and fixed their delivery trucks. A buddy and I painted and fixed cars to get through college in Buffalo. It really sucks to bust your knuckles rounding off another rusted bolt, then reach for a beer in an unheated garage and find out it was frozen. 8~( Graduated and got out of Dodge to head South.

I got bored with the American cars about 5 years ago and started playing diesel. Unfortunately not as much time as I want to play right now.... still waiting for time and $ to converge to fix the SD.
