Would it be a long commute from your place, or is it mostly work from home?

In Janesville. About 15-20 minute commute up I-90
It's on-site. Although Hybrid is possibility in the future.
Tonight I went out for a beer at the invitation of my sister to a local bar. Met a guy who is worth more than anyone I have ever met in my life. An audiophile and automobile enthusiast. Went to high school with Mrs. Mark. Rubs elbows with billionaires. Super nice guy. Makes me feel very poor. lol His Turntable costs $40k. He ordered a new pair of speakers after attending AXPONA this year. $150k for the pair. We hit it off to say the least. Offered me a cigar and I accepted. Haven't smoked a cigar in over a year. It was a very very good cigar. Invited me to join his "listening group" I have his contact info in my phone. lol

Yeah, if they bring you in for a second interview and it goes well you should be a shoo-in, whatever the hell that means.

Thanks for the update! Detailed. Love it, and sounds like a good interview. Not only answering questions well but interviewers always love when candidates bring extra skills and opportunities to the table, like you do.
Good luck. I’ve learned and seen even the perfect interviews not result in an offer. You never know what other candidates are out there, or other factors. But still…good luck!

So, it's been over two weeks since the interview and I was resigning myself into believing that I had not made the grade for whatever reason. Did I say something I shouldn't have said? Was my knowledge not up to par? Was I too old? etc.
I sent an email to the recruiter this morning asking for an update. He responded quickly and said he would call me with the update/feedback. I still felt like this was over, until he called.
They loved you! The owner and engineer were so impressed with your level of experience and knowledge that they don't want to put you in the role of "just Sr. Engineer". They think you would be better suited as a Senior Level Manager! They are currently very busy with, and waiting to see how things develop with the acquisition of the other company before making on offer. This is no guarantee but things look very positive.
What a great way to start my weekend!
I still haven't heard anything from the company in Rockford. I sent my resume, references and cover letter in last week. My contact there said he confirmed that the boss got everything and that he has 8 other resumes to go over and is currently interviewing. I hope to hear something soon there as well. It's an IT Manager position with the goal of modernization from an IBM AS400 green screen MAPICS manufacturing ERP system.

Wow. That's great, Mark.
Yesterday, I was going to ask for an update. I decided not to, thinking, "What if he didn't get it...."

Fantastic!
If it doesn’t work out, my wife is currently looking to add on three more Dog Walkers. An exciting opportunity to start at the ground level and work your way up!

I think it's fantastic Mark, you are probably almost fun to be around right now!
Seriously, I hear about so many senior-level positions where an outstanding applicant goes through the process hoops and hurdles only to find that once again, the position was actually filled some time ago, either a relative, friend, insider, etc., and the applicants were simply put through the process as an exercise in futility. I remember that over and over trying to land my first "real" job after grad school.

Not at all surprised, Mark. You know your stuff and you're a good guy.
In somewhat similar news, I was given a 3-month stay of execution at my 9-5. I'll be beyond amazed if that happens again, but this buys me pretty decent time.
