As #spring is here, it’s time to resume our own form of #EthicalTourism or #EcoToruism (day trips involving travel only by #bike and #PublicTransport – #Trains, in this case). As I’m a #StructuralEngineer, I like seeing interesting #structures and so I picked #Portsmouth. Quite recently, it had a #tower built called the #SpinnakerTower as it resembles a #spinnaker #sail. It is by no means unique, nor is it the tallest, but it’s comfortably within a day trip’s distance of us.
Long post...
I live near #Boise, #Idaho. #GenX. I have about 27 years of experience working as a #StructuralEngineer designing mostly steel structures, but also have experience designing concrete, masonry, and wood structures.
I volunteer as a local youth #WaterPolo coach and like to play in our local adult rec league.
My interests are #WaterPolo, #Fitness, #CollegeFootball (#BoiseStateUniversity, #UofTexas), and #Music. Some of my favorite listens are #LedZeppelin, #BenHarper, and #Cake.
A much overdue #introduction:
I'm a #StructuralEngineer by day, working mostly in #steel and #concrete. I do everything, but a lot more moving #bridges and #canal locks than most. Some #dams. All my stuff is old, so it's mostly about safety and reliability.
Second job: very willing farmhand for @PickwickSheprd, who I think mostly puts up with me because she was crazy enough to marry me. We raise #sheep and she trains #sheepdogs. I fix the old #tractors and help run #fences and #buildings.
I'm a #GenX living in the #Boise #Idaho area. I'm married with 2 daughters.
Professionally, I work as a #StructuralEngineer with over 20 years of experience in the profession. For fun, I play #WaterPolo with a local rec team.
My interests are:
#News
#Politics
#Humor
#Investing
#Music
I'm migrating over from the bird site & still trying to figure my way around.
Long overdue #introduction,
I’m a #structuralengineer and a #software developer. I tried to do both for 5+ years with an emphasis on #structural before deciding it would be a lot better for my career and happiness to focus on the #software.
I’m currently working as a #fullstackengineer. I also do contract work related to #sustainabledesign #embodiedcarbon #sustainability
