I suppose that I should tell you a little about myself. I grew up in Dixon, Illinois, the hometown of Ronald Reagan, and aka the Petunia City. I have been married to Deb (Mrs Q) for 17 years. We have three children, Nick 16, Amie 14, and Jason 12. One winter a few years ago, we had a couple of -40 days. I wimped out and headed south. We landed in Easley, South Carolina.


I work in the plastics industry as a process engineer. You do not need a degree to be a process engineer, you just gotta be good. *smiles*
That symbol over there is the icon for my company, McKechnie Plastic Components. McKechnie is a worldwide organization, with the home offices in the UK. Our facility is one of four plastic plants in the US. Four years ago, I was able to visit four of the plants in the UK. Where I work, we mold a variety of plastic parts for power tools, gas pumps, trucks, and cars. My job is to get the new molds running, and to make changes to the old molds/processes to improve them.
