Strolling In And Around My Head

I PURCHASED A TESLA  MODEL X P90D Performance After many years of saving and talking myself into purchasing a Tesla I broke down and purchased a fully loaded (-1 option) Model X P90D. The only item I am missing on my car was a trailer hitch. Tesla Model X P90D w/Ludacris mode Nothing to see here, but a bunch of chickens.

Here is a wide selection of photos taken toward the end of 2017. Front of the subdivision after best snow of 2017 Our backyard during the best snow of the year.  Our backyard in the fall before the snow and ice. Robert and Allison were playing around at the Lowerys. Robert is really not that tall. Lowery's and the Pendley's Robert grew an extra foot in a few seconds. He should try out of basketball. A couple of Nutt's in the house. Why Robert is riding around Georgia Tech in the YouTube car I may never know, but there he is with Patrick in front. Robert on the sidewalk getting a ride and passing out T-shirts from the YouTube car. 

While in San Francisco we drove to the Google complex and also the Facebook buildings. We toured the Google area and not Facebook because we were not able to get out of the car.  Google Android Playground.  Crazy times at the Google Store . The three of us at the Android version playground. This is Donut which is the fourth version of the OS. Sourdough production.  Sailboat  passing us with Alcatraz in the background. 

We were lucky to receive two free VIP tickets from Dell to join them for the F1 race in Austin TX . We flew into Austin TX on Wednesday and stayed at a VRBO on 6th street. Small little place but it really was a fun place to stay. https://www.vrbo.com/971156 I called out to Lewis Hamilton on Friday after the practice run. From everything I have read about Lewis Hamilton he sounds like a great guy and very driven (pun intended). Sitting across from the pits during practice. The cars are so loud it is hard to think straight. I had no idea the size of each team until the car was coming in or going out of the pit area. It takes a lot to send one person around the track fast. And yes they did run low on food once the crowd started eating. The drivers going around the track waving to everyone. Lewis Hamilton

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 . Gr...

Well we stayed in San Francisco a few nights and checked out some great places to eat like The Original Joes and In & Out Burger. We made it to Alcatraz and toured around the buildings. When we headed out we went through the gift store and saw a guy, William Baker, that spent 50 years of his life in and out of jail. He spent 4 years locked up in Alcatraz. Old man that sat in his chair signing a book he wrote. Allison took this photo of Tam and I. We were holding eat other and trying to stay in the water for a few seconds. The water had to be 40 degrees and would take your breath away. I asked the cable car operator to smile. He did. What fun.  Kids held on to the side of the cable car all the up to the center of San Fran.

Map of Kiawah Island near Charleston SC. Photo of the beach on the island. Photo from the beach. Picture of Tamara's $11 beer. Picture of my beer. Yes that is right, she drank the whole beer. One of the trees in the front yard of a house on the beach. BEAUTIFUL. We were biking down one of the trails near the golf course and what did we see. You tell me. We noticed another one in the lake across from this one.
