OK, Second try today. I will try to get postings more often than 3 years apart. Been a little busy trying to finish my degree and retire, but I finally did it. Now I can get up to speed on the Blog thing. Off to a long awaited vacation up to Vancouver then back to start up with my new retiement job, getting my master's degree. I will be working with a very energetic professor who is doing research on the feasability of growing algae for bio-diesel production. you can read about it at http://calpolynews.calpoly.edu/magazine/Spring-09/algae.html . I going to stop now while I'm ahead and publish this.
