I am from the small town of Independence Iowa, about 20 miles from Waterloo where your 4020 was probably made. My grandfather was a machinist for Hart Parr, then John Deere, then moved to LaPlata Missouri to focus on farming. My dad had an independent repair shop that worked on cars, trucks and tractors. I worked for him through high school, then worked for 2 years building control panels at a shop in Waterloo. I then attended Iowa State University, and graduated with the first computer engineering class in country.
I worked as a mechanic and construction worker the first two years of college, then got part time jobs in my field until graduation.
I took several different jobs after college, working in Chicago, Minneapolis, Albuquerque, St Louis, and Cedar Rapids Iowa.
I ended up settling back in Cedar Rapids to start a family.
I now own a company that does industrial controls, have about 20 engineers, with locations in Iowa and Arizona, and totally love what I do. Being in the automation industry is like getting to play with making things work, a combination of my upbringing and education.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
