Retired!

28 Jul 2021

As of today, I am now officially retired

I decided to take an early retirement to allow for more time with friends and family, and for hobbies - including this tech/maker/creator hobby I just have not had enough time for lately.

And hey, perfect timing... The element14 shopping cart that I won for this spring's fun robot project arrived a few days ago!

All of my books are available at Lulu.com.
Please do not use Amazon, they steal 80% of my authors fee.

If you like history, there is my World War II Sea War series, currently 17 volumes with 18 ready for release in a couple of weeks.

If you want something to stimulate your brain, there is the Reverse Engineering of the Universe, where I propose a very simple solution to Quantum Theory using the photon as the source of mass/charge for inter atom interaction.

Tthat is a collection. The wall space it would take up would be considering in my small bungalow. DAB indicated he did some writing. I would be interested in looking at the list and see if any are available locally.

colporteur I don't know I have upwards of 1000 books, and most likely an equal amount in pdf. Quite a while ago I gave up on Dewy and went to Library of Congress catalog system. Most of my book have call numbers on the spine, and still packed as I lost room in the move. I can't wait to get out of this place.
