Quite some time ago my wife happened to mention to me that our electric bill seemed to be rather high. This was during summer and I suspected the air conditioner was on too much of the time. Being a technology person, I decided to purchase a meter that would measure power usage for each household device in an effort to more scientifically determine what devices were running up the cost and determine if we could cut back. I learned quite…
May 9th we found out what surgery had determined. There is a duct that takes fatty material from the intestines and moves this fluid up to the heart. Some time this duct ruptures and the fluid does not make it successfully to the heart but dumps into the lungs. This is what happened to Whiskers. Some cats are prone to this problem. The surgeons would expect to find one duct but Whiskers had multiple ducts which they cut off and…
September 13, 2010 I get a phone message that the control room switcher will not function. In a few hours I appear to check this report out. The switcher will not work but I figure I must rule out the sync generator. At first I can not see any sync signals due to my unfamiliarity to the waveform monitor.

Mom and…

Resort Check In: Check in was fast and somewhat efficient in speed. I did notice that the clerks may have failed to fully complete the check in process. I suspect it might be the computer screens that they have to work with because I notice that their…
This article is only directed toward individuals that own pretty good DVD players and flat screen displays using HDMI cables. One of my jobs is to perform technical support for a state university department. I was asked to solve a problem with a large screen TV set in a department’s class room used to show movies. The complaint was that the TV screen looked pink. My research came up with a couple of DVD test disks. I was able to…
Dear Baja Fresh, One of your franchise restaurants just closed in Brea, California at 2445 East Imperial Highway, Suite H. Our family has been going there for years. It was a shock to find they had closed. I asked a nearby restaurant owner what happened and I was told that the Baja Fresh restaurant owners could not pay their franchise fees. I also discovered that this location required very high rent. I realize that a well performing corporation needs to…
