Vacation to Cabo San Lucas
For the first time ever I got to go on a vacation with my sister. We thought about visiting several places like Florida, New York, or Canada and we decided on Cabo San Lucas Mexico.
I’d never been there before. Only been to Mexico City for an install once at Televisa Studios. My sister however has been to Cabo and other places in Mexico before and she speaks fairly fluent Spanish too.
We met up in Los Angeles where we flew out to Cabo on a late morning flight.
Bucket of Blood Saloon (and beer)
Location: 1 South C Street, Virginia City, Nevada
There is an old mining town named Virginia City that looks like it has been frozen in time up in the Nevada hills about 30 miles south of Reno.
The town has been a hot spot for tourists and motorcyclist alike for decades, especially during the annual Street Vibrations motorcycle event, where I first set my eyes on Virginia City while out on a local area ride my some buddies.

Road Trip to Tennessee
March 2018
This month marks one year that I’ve been living in Georgia since moving from California, and it’s been great, I still really enjoy living here.
That all said, this week I took my first road trip on the east coast to my next work site.
I drove from my house in Georgia heading up north to Oak Ridge Tennessee.
B.B. Kings Blues Club, Memphis TN
January 2018
While working in Memphis Tennessee last month I got a chance to visit and walk around famous Beale Street, home of the American Blues music.
After walking around the street for a while, checking out both sides of the street and all the shops and restaurants along the couple of short blocks, my co-worker and I decided to grab some lunch and so we headed into B.B. King’s Blues Club.
Paella Party, Placerville CA
February 2016
A few years ago I had the pleasure and good fortunate to be invited to attend a friend’s epic party up in the hills of Placerville in California.
It was a fun filled afternoon and evening at a beautiful enchanted hilltop estate celebrating our friend Tim’s birthday and his annual Paella Party.

Four years ago I used to work in the bay area a lot and one of my favorite places to go to lunch was a great unique restaurant called Lillie Mae’s House of Soul Food located in Santa Clara California.
Motorcycle Ride, LaGrange GA
February 2018
This weekend I finally had some time to fire up my motorcycle and go for a real ride.
For the first time since I moved to Georgia, I went on a 100+ mile motorcycle ride.
Heck, I just realized, this is actually the first “big” ride I’ve ever done on the east coast.
Beale Street, Memphis TN
January 2018
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
W.C. Handy, won’t you look down over me
Yeah, I got a first class ticket
But I’m as blue as a boy can be
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel?
Rendezvous, Memphis TN
January 2018
One day while working in Memphis Tennessee, my co-workers and I decided to try some local BBQ for lunch so we headed over to a famous rib joint downtown called Rendezvous. I had heard about this place before and looked forward to checking it out.
We parked in a nearby parking structure and walked to the alley where, strangely enough, the entrance to the restaurant is located. As we walked we could smell the smoke from the charcoal-fired pits all the way down the block. It was pretty easy to find the entrance just by following our noses.
Sun Studio, Memphis TN
January 2018
If you love music, especially rock n roll – then you will one day want to see Sun Studio in Memphis Tennessee where some of the most famous musicians on the planet first recorded and became famous. I was awestruck while visiting this historic building.
The Streets of Memphis
January 2018
Spent some time working in Memphis Tennessee this past January. It was the first time I had ever been to the city that I had heard so much about all my life.
Have I mentioned I am a huge fan of music? Memphis is the birthplace of Rock n Roll.
Needless to say I was very excited to be visiting and working in Memphis Tennessee!
