Very fun read, thanks. :smile:

I especially liked this part from early high school...
One of the most profound experiences I had was discovering how math made understanding electronics much easier. I could not understand feedback. But I wrote the equations and all was clear. Nor could I understand the phase shift of capacitors and inductor’s – but read about the phasor representation and just by differentiating all was clear. That’s when I knew mathematics was the key to understanding. Later as I learned more and more it simply reinforced it was the real key.

Very interesting! What a journey, @bhobba !
 
Just ONCE, I wanted to see a post titled Status Update that was not a blatant, annoying spam post by a new member. So here it is. Today was a good day here in Northern Wisconsin. Fall colors are here, no mosquitos, no deer flies, and mild temperature, so my morning run was unusually nice. Only two meetings today, and both went well. The deer that was road killed just down the road two weeks ago is now fully decomposed, so no more smell. Somebody has a spike buck skull for their...
