Hello World!

Hello everyone, my name is Rick, my wife Ana helped me make my first ever Blog. I hope that you won't be disappointed. Let me tell you a little about myself. I'm a Design Engineer with some twenty five years experience. I've worked on projects such as, valve/manifold design for the Trident and Sea-wolf submarines for the Navy. I've designed offshore oil field equipment for the Ivory Coast North Sea oil field Project and designed Emergency Lighting for the 757 aircraft at The Boeing Co. Everett Washington. I've also done some traveling, winding up in the Philippines on a couple of occasions. Most of my life however was spent in Southern California, but we have since moved to eastern Michigan where we live today. So much for warm weather!
