Started in the nuclear field as a RadCon tech at Ingalls Shipyard in 1972.  16 years in the field including many sites, both commercial nuke plants and releasing a few nuke labs at Pittsburg and Schenectity (I never get that spelled right!.)  Rad engineer for 3 years at a 3 unit site out west.  One contract at Chin Shan 1 in Taiwan.  12,000 mrem lifetime occupational dose, if that matters...
After the nuke power days, moved into software engineering for the remainder of my working careers.
Retired now and unable to pay taxes and insurances and FOOD, and so on.  Y'all know the drill.

So, are there any contracts, or even long term "house" jobs for someone like me?  A major factor is a permanent disability that prevents me from walking very far at a time.  Mind is still sharp sharp and I can still count all the way up to 9...

Interests include bikini's, motorcycling,scuba, dosimetry software creation especially around the Panasonic 710/720, camping, Arduino's, hand-held SBC's (small single board computers like the nVidia boards), RV'ing, flying airplanes and drones, and many more.  [This paragraph is mostly tongue-in-cheek so the reader doesn't get too bored...)

I notice that this board doesn't seem to be as active as it used to be.
