I think it is a "left brain - right brain" thing. Engineers can not
spell well - this one included. If it was not for spell-check people
would have good time with me:)
I am generally pretty creative, but I do have "gaps". I started taking
guitar lessons and this has really helped exercise the left brain. I am
finding my designs come easier and more often. Now if I had the time to
build all this stuff....
Have a great Roadster week everyone!

I worked with civil engineers at Black & Veatch for more than twenty
years.
One in particular that I liked working with and whom I respected, once
wrote a "spec" sheet for some motor driven equipment for a water
treatment plant project. He consistently spelled out "moter" numerous
times in the document.
Good thing it was proofread by others before it was published.
