    Watching this video gave me the clues for a much better design. I'll continue the prototype as I need some operational experience to prove the concept.

    My dad had a great admiration for engineers.
    At his behest, I started engineering school at northeastern in 1972.
    Physics, chemistry, computer science, mathematics.
    Much to his dismay, I dropped out after the first semester.

    I started a few years earlier, 1968, and got to my Junior year. But a low draft number, 39, and depression from a failed relationship led to the Marines 1971-75.

    Life has only gotten better ever since although there have been "lessons learned."
