Hello everyone,
I hope that this finds everyone well. I spent the week in the work lab for technical marketing and other people. It is a huge and complex lab and it was fun working in it with the very smart guy who looks after it all. I have a piece of it now and am looking forward to writing about our cool stuff.
BTW, I noticed I have done 736 articles. Wow. Thanks to everyone who reads, or who comments. I am doing this for you!
As you can imagine, I do have a few things to share!
Have a great week!
Michael
