Thanks for the kind words, but be careful what you ask for :) Actually still in the same business, it's a profession that will always be with me even if I do something completely different next. After the flood it was clear I would have to close eventually, my lab and my life as I knew it were ruined, I just kept working in the ruins. Closed my company seven years ago after my surviving equipment finally wore out, and went to an employer where I had already served them as a contractor since the 90's. Like any other place they needed help so I went right in and added an extra $million in capabilites the first year with just the gear they already had. Haven't stopped yet. Of course there's staff there 24/7 now and I'm a senior scientist so it's a straight day job for me but compared to what I am known to do it's been like retirement to have all nights, weekends, and holidays off, so I've kept up 50 to 60 hr weeks the whole time, just to keep up the pace I've always had. Get more than twice as much accomplished this way, not declining performance which many people understandably find occurs to them. Didn't stop overcoming operational problems and preparing for exponential growth, but with a few disasters hitting this company, that was not able to be deployed. So with 12 more years progress in only the last 6 years that totals more than 80 years of progressive accomplishments in only the last 40 years. Now with covid, economy is down and a bit of our equipment is idle too often, I'll be "retiring" and selling these enhanced solutions better than my employer can do. So I'll be an entrepreneur again since I've reached the point where their shareholders and myself will be better off with me on the outside after I've built about all the foundation that can be done for now. Some of the people I've been working with in the labs have said I must work like Elon Musk or something. Definitely not I said, he's much younger, I've been doing it much longer, he works like me.
