22095 James Stanley <stanley@e...> 1997‑07‑16 My bio: Jim Stanley
Well, I've been lurking here under the porch for
quite awhile and I guess I should introduce myself.
My name is Jim Stanley. (No relation, but I wish!)
I grew up in a town of 900 people in Illinois called
Oreana. I have a manufacturing engineering technology
degree (BS) which I received in 1985 from Bradley Univ.
in Peoria, Ill. I moved to the LA (thats California)
in 1986. By day, I work for Northrop Corp (soon to be Lockheed)
in a group called Master Dimensions. I do numerical
control programming, computer graphics work...
Every evening I test computer software for a company
called EDS. Its a 100 mile roud trip from home, to work,
to 2nd job, to home again. Lots of time left in the day
to make chips! (That is if you have no need to sleep!)
On weekends, I haunt the local swap meets with a local
GALOOT, Chris Dunn. Chris got me started in this and 
someday I should say thanks, or make him pay. I'm not 
sure which yet.
Im 34 and live in Mission Viejo, CA with my SWMBO Linda,
my 2 GIT's(GALOOTs in training) Jimmy (7) and Tyler(3) and
BAM BAM, a 1 year old boxer. Does anyone know if these
D*MN dogs ever quit digging?!?
I have a small corner of my garage where my workbench,
my collec...er... I mean my assortment of user tools, and
my piles of half finished projects reside.
I receive my Oldtools email in digest form, and only
weekday evenings, so if, by chance you ever need to 
drop me a line, keep that in mind. 
It is a real pleasure reading the posts to the list
and I have found the info contained very valuable. 
Time to crawl back under the porch, this sun is
hurting my eyes.
