Headed Out To San Francisco, For A Labor Day Weekend Show

Heading out for nine days to check out the coolest city in the US.

Somehow we blew through check-in by going to the TSA Pre check-in.

We took MARTA down to the airport and left the car at my office. Paul Amoruso would be proud.

Flight out on Delta.

We ate dinner at the In and Out burger at Fisherman's Wharf. Good burger and fries, especially if you're super hungry.

Walked up to the top of the sightseeing spot near the Fisherman's Wharf. Tam and I made it half way, the kids made it to the top and then walked down to meet us. Crazy.

While we waited for the Ferry to take us to Alcatraz we played with the camera for a bit. Rob and I were cracking up trying to take this picture.

Alcatraz on the port side.

The Fisherman's Wharf looking out to the Golden Gate Bridge.

While we walked downtown I came across a fun shot of a hotel. All the rooms have bay windows.

We surprised the kids and rented a Tesla Model X 90D. Great car for getting a group and luggage around. Every stop we had people looking at the car and checking out the doors. This picture was taken near Muir Woods.

The Tesla Model X 90D was perfect when you turned on the autopilot. We only had a few times we felt like we were going to run off the road. If the speed limit is 55 MPH and a curve shows you need to slow to 25 MPH we would continue on at 55 MPH and try and take the turn. I was all in but everyone else wanted to live a little longer.

Having fun with the Tesla Easter Egg.

Photos from the Hearst Castle. Wow what an amazing place.

Best guide at the Hearst Castle.

Pulled into the Tesla Supercharger with only 12 miles on the car. We cut it close three times while we had the Tesla. We put 1,000 miles on the car in 7 days and did not spend a penny for power. All provided by Tesla. Thank you Elon Musk.

Blowing My Mind

Items that I have collected, in no particular order, that BLOW MY MIND. I have been collecting and writing down information that blows my mind. Here is a list, in no particular order, of information that I have picked up shortly after I was born in 1958. It is crazy how much information that has changed or is changing as I grow older. The Universe In no particular order: The universe was created 13.8 billion years ago. Big Bang - Only two elements were formed one million of a millionth of a millionth of a second after the big bang. Because of heat after the big bang these two elements were created. 1. 75% hydrogen 2. 25% helium 400 million years after the big bang, the stars are formed under extreme heat. The stars start to fail and explode which created carbon, oxygen, iron, nitrogen cooked and then exploded. E=MC² shows that Energy and Mass are interchangeable which is how energy turned into elements or mass. The earth is 4.543 billion years old. Life on ea...

Mid-Atlantic Backroad Discovery Route MABDR

The BDR is a motorcycle route that goes from Damascus Virginia to the New York State border. Some of the travel is on two laneroads, while other is on Forest Service gravel roads. I started in Damascus which is a great little town the Appalachian trail goes through. You can see my bike on the right. the Appalachian trail and the Mid-Atlantic BDR slowly meander back and forth through the country. I've met a couple guys that were hiking all the way non-stop. This is a well photographed gap that is fun to go through. Sceenic overlook that I turned around for. This was taken off a dirt road. I stopped and took this photo and then a hiker appeared out of nowhere. She scared me pretty good. First night camping. Hard to sleep when you don't have your favorite body pillow and covers.

Mount Rainier July 28, 2024

Mount Rainier is an active volcano located in Washington. Wildflower meadows circle the icy volcano in July and August while ancient forests cover the lower slopes. We walked up the section that is called Paradise which is famous for its gorgeous views and wildflowers. While we were in Paradise in July, the area is known for its winter activities. You will find people snowshoeing, cross country skiing and sledding. We flew into Seattle and met Rob and Rebecca then headed on a drive to Mt. Rainier. We did see the top of Rainier, but its low cloud cover was typical for the day. Rob, Rebecca (R2), Tam and Bob The walk was up hill for a while and this old guy was hurting the next day. I have no information about the cabin located in the bottom of the beautiful valley. The flowers looked like they were professionally grown. The waterfalls were scattered all through the walk. So pretty and full of life. We even saw some wildlife.
