Who are you, and what do you do?

[TubbyTubby]

Since it's almost time to go, I'll level with you guys.

My username is professor, since a couple of the younger engineers in my department years ago, began calling me that for my little lessons to them on turbocompressors/ what to do/ what not to do.
That tag came to mind when I needed a user name on my foray into computerland.

I am the R/D / New Product Development/ mechanic/welder/fabricator, working with several engineers, we are great friends, a tight knit group, have fun, and I am delighted to be with sharp, funny friends (I do have to try to dampen some of their antics).
I get to participate in the stuff they concoct and we brainstorm on projects.

I have been in R/D for more than 20 years out of 45 total
(same place, but it has grown greatly) so I have a lot of friends here, some ask me when I am going to retire? (nothing to do with a desire to get my job, I am sure)
So I get to re-iterate,
"As soon as Jesus comes back- I am out of here". "So you're going to have to be dragged out?" (no)

Hobbies- have gone from cars to motorcycles,back to cars, a little drag racing, and now, a motorbicycle, guitar playing, singing the old choruses (now playing one I replaced the tuner part of the neck on- it was free), bike riding, small tractors (10 currently-staged where they get used, they seem to multiply- all gotten cheap or free and somewhat re-built or restored by me) which I use to cut grass or snowblowing for myself, a neighbor, a couple friends, sister in law and son (kind of like a hobby).
My primary spiritual assignment is to be helpful.
I have some malady where I need to be occupied all the time. Lots of making things, furniture and restoring.

I am married, with kids and grandkids.

I never wanted to be involved with computers (old dog syndrome) but had somewhat taught myself to type long ago and being online keeps me off the street
and off my feet.
I am an information monger, particularly about where we are in time and prophecy, the internet has been fantastic for that and is why I ended up here.

Oh, I forgot, My name is Mike.

I'd love to have some beers with you Mike, your engineering field is close to mine. Without wanting to derail this thread, I struggle to understand how an individual can happily disregard evidence in favour of things unproven and yet, at the same time accept evidence as the cornerstone of their engineering discipline.

Perhaps the subject of another thread eh?
