How did you find PF?
Internet search on a topic, which led me the forum.
Greetings,
I am almost 70 years old now, and have retired from formal employment. This was no my decision, but Company policy.
I've been making stuff since I was knee-high to a grasshopper.
Not everything worked out first time...
I love hydraulics, and structures with triangulation.
I have built more than 40 trailers of various types in my backyard as a sideline hussle.
My 3 daughters are all grown up and I have 4 grandsons, and a grand daughter under construction.
I live in South Africa and ride a BMW F800 GS motorcycle whenever I get the chance.
Mista Oros takes me into the mountains and open spaces.

Welcome.
 
Hello there, and nice to meet all of you! My name is Olga, I am from Russia. I have a PhD in laser physics, and I work at the local university. I study chalcogenide lasers. I am a pure experimentalist, and I love working with my hands, et cetera, and I do math only when I have to. Sometimes I work with biologists. I do nothing exciting in research, and after my defence, I hardly can call myself a scientist because we have a lack of financial support, and most of my time I spend on teaching...
