March 2015 I’m a huge fan of Stevie Ray Vaughn. To me, he’s one of the greatest guitarist songwriters to ever live. He had a sound that talked straight to the soul, damn good music. Seeing the memorial to Stevie is a bucket list items for serious fan. Whenever I work in Austin, I try…

Murals by Diego Rivera, Palacio Nacional de Mexico
March 2015 One afternoon after finishing up work in Mexico City (a few years back), I dropped off my gear at the hotel, called an Uber car and hopped in and headed to the city center at the main plaza to check out some of the local history in the area. I had heard and…
Lake Champlain, Burlington Vermont
August 2017 Took a recent business trip to Montreal Canada and flew into Burlington Vermont to then drive across the border into Canada to my work site. This was a very interesting, educational and fun trip. By traveling this route ended up saving a good amount of money. It turns out flying into a city…
Georgia Day Trip
July 2017 I recently moved from California to Georgia with my family a few months ago and have been busy getting unpacked, settled and set-up for a while now. Turns out moving cross-country is a lot more work than I originally anticipated! This past weekend we finally had a chance to relax and get out…
Great American Beer Festival, Denver Colorado
October 2016 The Great American Beer Festival (GABF) is a three-day annual event hosted by the Brewers Association, held in Denver, Colorado. The GABF brings visitors from around the world to sample thousands of different American craft beers. Getting tickets can be tough, they sell out very fast. This is after all, America’s greatest beer…
Erie Canal, Lockport New York
October 2016 I’ve driven across New York a couple of times for work over the past year and in between all the cities and trees along the highways during the drive I always noticed the signs for canal locks and became very curious about this canal that runs east-west across the state of New…
Teotihuacan Pyramids, Mexico City Mexico
August 2016 While working in Mexico City Mexico I had an extra day in town and since it was my first time ever to Mexico I was compelled to do some exploring and had heard from a friend about some nearby ancient pyramids from a civilization that pre-dated the Aztecs by over 500 years.
Haunted Spiral Staircase, Virginia City NV
Supposedly the Old Washoe Club Hotel in Historic Virginia City Nevada is haunted. It might be true, the Travel Channel television show “Ghost Adventurers” and SyFy Channel’s “Ghost Hunters” have filmed several episodes in the old hotel. One of many things the hotel has become famous for is it’s unique spiral staircase. A long dead…
Historic Virginia City Nevada
I’ve been to historic Virginia City Nevada many times before, but always only during the big Street Vibrations motorcycle rally that’s held in nearby Reno. The motorcycle ride to Virginia City is always fun and the people watching on main street as hundreds of motorcyclists rode up and down the street all day during…
24 Hours in Venice Italy
I was working in Amsterdam this past summer and had to stay over for a weekend waiting on parts to arrive for my work so during the time I took a quick plane ride to Venice Italy on Saturday and explored as much as I could before having to return back to Amsterdam on Sunday….
San Felipe De Neri Parish, Albuquerque NM
While working in Albuquerque New Mexico I checked out the old town area and found this cool old Spanish church to check out. The church of San Felipe de Neri was started in 1706 under the direction of Fray Manuel Moreno, a Franciscan priest who came to Alburquerque [the spelling was later changed to Albuquerque]…
Seeing the Space Shuttle, Coco Beach FL
This is an actual photo that I took of the Space Shuttle about 18 years ago. I was asked to go to NASA Cape Canaveral in Coco Beach Florida to work on some network troubleshooting and repairs and I ended up working onsite in the VAB (Vehicle Assembly Building) where I got to see the…
