Wow! Between you and hamsterpower, everything but candlestick maker! 
Do you still have any ties with the copper plant? MPaul is working on an open-source controller for electric cars down in the Fossil Fuel Free section. An inexpensive source of copper bars for the controller would be fantastic!

LOL!!! Still, you have lots of hard-to-come-by experience. Candles and all!
Maybe you'll be able to help MPaul in some way on the copper part. They've had a couple of different ideas on how to drill it...

Introduction
Busypaws, My wife's company name.
Live in Tucson AZ. Work in San Jose. Engineer. Work in the defense industry.
Having fun on weekends in San Jose by Hypermilling a 97 Protege 1.5L. Concentrating on Lightweighting. Removed A/C and P/S. Just got 155/80/R13 on VX alloys. Started with 47mpg on highway and 36mpg on 5 mile commute on 35mph roads. We'll see what the VX/155 do next tank. Time to get a computer since it takes me 2.5 months between fillups.

I'm a senior at SUNY Cortland in New York, going for Business Economics... so nothing to do with engineering, though my boyfriend is at college for electrical engineering.
And right now I babysit two boys, which isn't a great job, but it's a job, so I can't complain.

...well, here goes the neighbor hood!
...it's another "zony" from the '...land-o-sand...' and the Old Pueblo, and most likely the same defense industry as busypaws.
...me? an Electrical Engineer who prefers "vacuum tube" amps over "sand power" amps and plays chordal jazz guitar.
...vehicles? (1) 2009 Pontiac Vibe 1.8L (2ZR-FE) 4spd-auto for me; (2) 2004 Pontiac Vibe 1.8L (1ZZ-FE) 4spd-auto for the wife. (3) AutoMeter 9100 ecometer to collect and display realtime MPG while driving in the '09.
...anybody remember reading HOT ROD MAGAZINE issues Aug'73, Nov'73 and Mar'74? Or, HOT ROD YEARBOOK No. 14?
