heyo!  #introduction time.  i tend to be #verbose, so i understand if my first #toot is seen as #tldr.

i have been a strict #vegan for 10 years.  my #family is small.  my only #son is an #electrical #engineer who is a #licensed #PE in 4 states.  i live with 3 #dogs - an older #yorkie and 2 much younger #biewer terriers.  i also keep an #aquatic #turtle and maintain a #worm #farm for him.

i'm twice #retired, first from the #military, and then from a #normal life.  i'm an #intel #alumnus, having spent 12 years in #post-silicon #validation of #processors and #chipsets.

i'm quite new to the #fediverse.  in #discord they call me #grey or #wolf.

in that #platform i'm either in several #Crypto servers, or in servers full of social/gaming #bots (the #OwO #bot is my #escape from the #ratrace).

my #interests are mostly #technology, #animals, and #music.

i built my first #x86 #computer in 1993.  i've been #crypto #mining for 7 years.  i build my own #rigs.

and now i've reached the limit.
