Phil, what exactly do you do?

I'm an electromechanical engineer. I work on radiologically-sourced high-speed scanning systems used in large-scale manufacturing (petro-chemical, chemical, paper, plastics, metals, etc.). Same electronics as I worked on in missile guidance and radar systems. Only the pay is better then in the military, I don't have to run 12 miles a frickin week anymore, I don't get shot at, am home every evening, get overtime pay, and I can afford to build up my hatchery without the fear of receiving unexpected deployment orders.

Oh, forgot to mention that I also receive a pension check every month for my 20+ years in the service. That doesn't suck either.

Wow you just summarized how a typical addicted fishkeeper feels. You should be like president of mfk or something.

i thought he was.

anyway thats a damn shame as that was some tank.

We should all be so intelligent. Glad I'm not in your situation. I wouldn't want to deal with all the paperwork of having so much money. LOL

You swap out PCB's too... jk's

When something "breaks" do you fault find to component level or board level? do you design as well as repair?

I have to get a diploma in electronic/electrical engineering to get the job i want or to move up pay levels..... and they only go to board level doesn't make sense... after the first month in the course i could do the job.


Sorry about your tank mate, glad your ok.

Wow...that would have to be everyones nightmare...

Could it have been the height of the tank? That is a high tank for only 1/2 inch.

I'm certified in micro-miniature repair. But, for field-level contracts (like my current contract), repairs are to the module level. The high speed scanners have alot of proprietary hardware that my company doesn't want known. T/S is to whatever sealed module has a bad output. Pretty simple for T/S and the company makes a bundle replacing whole modules instead of replacing a bad internal component.

This is like a nightmare to me.. thank god you were not hurt and did not have much damage and also thank goodness you did not have it all set up with fish..
