I also have some HVAC equipment .. gauges , reclaim equipment , etc (and a refrigerant license too )
for another interest I have a 48 inch metal turning lathe , a Bridgeport vertical mill etc. ....

I will be 82 this month . wife an I been together 62 years now , with over 40 direct decendants (so far) ..... latest great grand son is a month old .....

Welcome, Don,

You may indeed be our most senior member, but we have many retirees, and I've never asked their ages.

We also have several metal turners and other assorted hobby and pro machinists here.

I think you'll enjoy our happy quiet li'l corner of the internet, and we're glad to have your experience to add to our own!

Welcome, Don! I did live in Winona for a few years; I would LOVE to go back! It is my opinion that if space aliens invade earth, it is because they want Minnesota!
