    There is an amazing store in Portland, Vinopolous, with perhaps the biggest collection of rieslings in America. Very knowledgeable too.

    And I’m a fount (pun intended) of knowledge on wastewater treatment. I suspect there will be little if any need or desire for that knowledge on this forum, despite the piles of bovine and equine manure spread throughout. But hey! I’m available if and when needed......

    While we bring in several legendary Germany Riesling producers, we also bring in Burgundy, a little wine from South France, high-end Swiss wine, and soon, a highly-respected producer from Down Under. Oh, and we own an Oregon winery. So, we do a little wine.

    How many places do you want to go in a day? Are you staying in wine country? Having a meal or two in wine country? Give me some basic parameters and I can make some suggestions.

    I also know aquariums rather well. Had them my entire life. Save your jokes. They impress the ladies more than you'd think.

    Currently have a 100-gallon seahorse tank.

    Pretty sure the last one was HACH but most of any time I spent in our lab was to either grab data or to shmooze with the lab techs. So I’m not 100% sure. Whatever it was, it could be a real cranky POS. I spent the vast majority of my career in the Operations side. But I do have tales from very early in that career that involve me, my lab supervisor buddy and cylinders of nitrous oxide diverted for entertainment purposes. Fortunately I can no longer be disciplined or fired.....

    Real math consists of addition and subtraction.

    Everything else is just window dressing. :cheers:

    I vaguely remember getting 25 years experience in something or another, but I can't remember what. It doesn't matter. More important, I've watched the world, growing my hair long between each job.

    When you create an accounting system every couple of years, it comes naturally to critique the propaganda of the crappy selfish economic system, evil lowlife legal system, unimaginative religious/sexhater system, and unsustainable Stotts/Olshey hero ball system.

    My arena - Structural Steel Bending and tier two logistical coordination of permitted and oversized loads.

    Ask me almost anything about tensil and yield of different types of steel and I can get you an answer.

    My company specializes in custom spiral staircases.

    We have done such projects as the PDX airport roof, the new google building in Cali, the new stadium in texas, etc.
