What do you do when you are not on this Forum?

Masu, your explanation is exactly on the mark .... I only speak of personal experience, of course, as other engineers, like many physicists and mathmaticians, may have differing viewpoints.

Being someone (probably like you) who enjoys a good read, a fun debate, an occasionally rib-tickling laugh and copious amounts of obtuse engineering explanations, all available during the cocktail hour as well as during the morning's work, I hope you don't mind indulging us in this little exercise.

"I hope you don't mind indulging us in this little exercise."

Absolutely not, it's things like this that make life interesting and more enjoyable.

I check CR4 regularly for updates etc. Also check into the Straight Dope although it is not particularly challenging.

My daily dream job is to make it thru today and wake up to a new day in the morning.

I had a new job of a lifetime at $37.50/hr offered to me in May. At 80 + (72 Mos.) that is a major accomplishment.

Also write fluff stuff for posting here and there when I have the inspiration and/or something to make it an interesting story such as "Men In Black"
