Nice post. Thanks.

BTW, I have OCD too. And adult autism. Regarding our previous discussion about energy & power, you're cool man. If you really want to challenge the noodle, check out some of the books about Einstein & relativity theory. The basic premise is that objects in space define gravity & gravity defines time. The Lorentz transform sort of opened the door too. Feynman at Cal Tech supposedly said: "How in the hell did he think of this stuff." It was God working through Einstein just in time for the end of WW2. Whatever. Cheers.

Here's a good one.

Thanks Windforfun. Impressed by your knowledge, and curious about your background.

I took 4 semesters of calculus & physics in school, and especially loved Newtonian physics, but when it got to partial differential equations and Einstein’s theory of relativity, I’d had enough. Already being passionate about cars, and not relating that stuff to cars made me quickly lose interest. Found it way too esoteric … and over my head TBH

PS. As per my profile, I too have an interest in sailing; mostly planing dingies.

My windsurfing days are over. Just like snow skiing, it got to be too much of a hassle. Skiing is too expensive now. I'm pushing seventy.

40 plus years of optical system & complex lens design for stuff like space based x-ray telescopes, optical signal processing & data storage, precision surface metrology, DNA sequencing, etc. Lots of patents. It paid the bills.

What a long strange trip it's been.

914 Owners are an interesting group.

My career hasn't included anything as interesting as what you have done but it is unusual for a few reasons. Unfortunately, I can't share details on a public forum for another 5 1/2 years.

Secret or top secret clearance? BTDT. Mumm's the word.

It has been a long strange trip, but wouldn't have changed a thing. Herbert was one of the great ones
