X 1000. Looks like you went 10 years longer than you had to. Congrats on the retirement. Only 2 decades to go for me (sounds better than 20 years).Thank you for all your years of service.

Dang, and I was complaining about shoveling our driveway for the 3rd day in a row. We have about 8 inches total and the schools around here will most likely be closed all week.The entrance way to our Boston office....7-8 foot high snow bank....View attachment 17297
Congratulations! Now, go leverage that puppy!
I have ZERO idea what that is .... but for sure, I am IMPRESSED ! Totally !~Space Environmental Simulator at work
Basically just like it sounds, it simulates the environment of space. You put a satellite inside it, pump out the air to a near-perfect vacuum, flood it with liquid nitrogen and helium to get to near-absolute-zero temps, and see if the thing still works. Can also use the heat lamps on top to mimic radiation from the sun, to simulate heating and cooling cycles as a satellite orbits the earth. Pretty neat chamberI have ZERO idea what that is .... but for sure, I am IMPRESSED ! Totally !~
