Happy New Year from the Sierra Nevada foothills.
2025:
- set up new facility for mfg of CVD diamond tech products
- replaced awful old carpets at home with bamboo wood floors
- lost 42 lbs (thanks, tirzepatide)
- secured $ for a new CVD diamond system, build starts in January
- road trip to see friends & family, some for first time in a decade
Wishing happiness, love, accomplishment and adventure to all!
- kridsdale1 9mo agoWhat are you going to bling out?
- ridgeguy 9mo agoA bunch of devices (laser diodes, microprocessors, high power RF GaN amplifiers) that'll run lots cooler on diamond heat spreaders; diamond Raman lasers (high efficiency & power); large single crystal diamond wafers - nothing most of us would pick up off the sidewalk, but might be very important. I do have 3 CVD gem brilliants (blue, pink, colorless, 2ct. each) that a local jeweler is putting into a 30th anniversary piece for my wife. That makes me grin in anticipation of the surprise gift - my kind of bling.
