My name is Michael T.

I was born in a barn...(as per my wife.)

I have no manners nor any plans of obtaining any in the near future.

I work for a Fortune 500 company as an E&I Tech but my paycheck must be refractive as it reflects a different light.

I don't have any friends, nor do I want any.

If you see me being attacked by a bear just go on about your biz or help the bear...as I never need help !!!

I am currently the Safety Leader on my work team and do not joke when it comes to OTJ SAFETY...!!!..."nothing we do is worth getting hurt !!!" is my motto !

I am always right and what I say is always accurate.(nor do I mispell words)

If I can help confuse any of you out there....I will !!!

I am 36 going on 18 !

I had an abusive father...he used to actually whip my butt if I misbehaved as a child....can you believe that ?

I support the troops in our armed forces although I cannot say the same for the strategy they are working under.

I got all A's and B's in school.....("A" you !...sit down and "B" quiet !!!)

All joking aside though, this is a great site and I have met some nice folks in the short time that I have been a member....keep up the good work here ....

Welcome to all new members. I haven't been very active lately because I'm in the process of building a house. When I get finished, I hope to be able to spend more time here. There are some fine folks here, so, enjoy it.

I am a new member and am learning the trade, and so far have found this sight to be very interesting and informative, and not at all lacking varied opinions and good (lively) discussions.

I am sure that I will be asking questions (or just making a comment) in the future and look forward to the interaction and to learning more and more.

I am located in Southern California (SoCal), I am a retired Marine and have worked in manufacturing, and I look forward to years of "fun & adventure" in this trade. It truly seems to be better than sitting behind a desk or running a "wiget" line all day.

Hello everyone! My name is Bill also, and I own Colonial Builders which is located in Philadelphia. My Building license allows me to do wiring up to the power box with renovations and additions so I do have some electrical background,about 15 years or so. I enjoy all the trades really but I always been fascinated with electronics. Unfortunately when you have your own business you don't have enough time to do to much of anything else. LOL. Thanks for the welcome aboard everyone.
