Hi,

Just a quick note.

Please be patient with my ignorance of blogging!!

I saw below that I received a comment from Radha in India on a previous post. I didn't even know I COULD receive comments or questions.

I wanted to reply, but can't find the means to do so.

If anyone knows how I might do this, please leave a comment for me and then I can answer questions, make friends, etc. :-)

Radha, I'm sorry. I just now saw your comment, but my last blog entry should explain the delay in getting my site further fleshed out. I still don't quite have all my father's estate settled yet, but when I get back to the site, I'll probably finish up the basic components section then move on to what it seems that people are looking at when they visit (if I can do this)

I see you are a "Slave of Physics" hmmm. Well, I guess a proper slave will give a good reaction for every action :-) :-)

My main interest is physics as well, but since engineering is applied physics this means that while I learned the same as the physics majors, I also learned how to do something with the knowledge in making my ideas take physical form.

I'm thinking of making a 1 meter telescope using the spin casting method for the mirror. I already have plans for the casting machine. Just working out the controller mechanisms to get the right spin speed which is related to the focal length of the mirror.

Well, I hope you haven't given up and gone away. Please let me know if you visit again.

The same goes for anyone...if I can only figure out how to reply :-)

Hope to hear from you soon,

Michael

Hi,
I guess it's been about a year since I posted last!

I'm sorry. My father (age 93) suffered some serious health issues and was hospitalized since last September. I would spend between 10 to 24 hrs per day (when he was in a place that allowed me to stay overnight), 7 days a week.

Everything got put on hold, including my work and my own health. He put up a valiant effort but passed away about 2 weeks ago. Needless to say, I've had my hands full settling his affairs, but hope to get back to the web page in the next few weeks. I appreciate your patience.

I'll also have to let my clients know that I'm about ready to re-enter the work force. I've probably lost a few, but not a problem as there are always more.

I see I have "members" I have no idea what that means or how you "join" a blog/web site...but welcome! If I knew how to get in touch with you, I'd drop you a line.

Perhaps I can ask my neighbor's 14-year-old daughter. She knows all about this blogging stuff. Pretty embarassing !! Now I know how my Mom and Dad felt when I talked about the things that were new when I was 14. :-)

Well, anyway, welcome friends and I hope I can post things that will be not only helpful to you, but enjoyable as well.

Till next time, and I promise it won't be a year.

Michael
