Strolling In And Around My Head

Martinsville Speedway Weekend I'll start out by confessing, I am not a big NASCAR fan. Growing up an hour outside of Daytona Florida, I was more into IMSA than NASCAR or Porsche's than Fords. A buddy of mine who is a HUGE NASCAR fan asked if I wanted to go in his rented Allegro motorhome so I jumped at the chance to see a race close up, and I mean really close up. We parked right at the fence and looked down on the track which was twenty feet from our bumper. The motorhome needed nothing more to keep us comfortable. If you are able, you should rent the space and motorhome and park it at the track. The sights and sounds of the cars racing around the track is hard to beat when you are sitting on top of the track looking down. We watched the crews setup and take down each night. Truck Parade Martinsville NASCAR Race We were lucky enough to get tickets to join the driver "meet and greet" and also the drivers meeting. Very cool to meet one of the best...

Charging your Tesla is chick feed Tesla Ownership I purchase my Tesla P90D with Ludicrous in February of 2018. I have had so much fun showing people the car and at sometimes acting like a salesperson for Tesla. I built the site using Amazon Web Services, Wordpress and the Twenty Seventeen theme. We stopped just outside of Lake City Florida on a trip to St. Augustine. We came across these two chickens in the wild. I am a city boy so I don't know anything about the chickens except they were fun to watch and helped pass the time while the car was being charged.

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...
