New Orleans


This year I got to spend my Birthday in New Orleans.   Had to be there for a conference, so Candy and I went down the weekend before.   Was a first for both of us.   We stayed downtown by the French Quarter and Bourbon Street.  Was able to walk to both.
Which after spending some time on Bourbon street it was good that we could walk home.   We spent one night out dancing and drinking, maybe we drank a little much.  We stumbled our way home safely.  We ate some great food and got to listen to some great blues music.   

We spent a day in the French Quarter walking around and checking out all the vendors.  I found a cool music store and picked up a few t-shirts.   Got me Slim Harpo and Professor Long Hair t-shirts.  We went to Morton's for my Birthday dinner.   Morton's is one of my favorites and honestly I was ready for a steak after a couple days of Cajun food. 
One day we took a paddle boat ride up the mighty Mississippi.  Sat outside as the presenter talked about the various buildings and area's we traveled through.   A lot of history in the area.








To India and back....


As soon as I returned from the Golf Tournament I caught a plane and headed off to India for two weeks.   It was a good trip and spent time with our team in our India office.  The hotel I stayed at was really nice.   They took great care of me and everyone was very friendly.  I was able to get a lot accomplished at work while I was there.  It is always great to be able to spend time with the team.  This trip on my off time I spent most of my time on my own.  I did a lot of walking around and checking out the area that I was staying in.

Being there for the duration I was, they were sad to see me leave. They had a cake for me and we took a few pics. I look forward to returning in the future.





I survived the Sharkey


Had a great time at the Sharkey Clark Memorial this year.  This years tournament took place in Breckenridge Co.   Most of the crew was in attendance for the event.  I am pretty sure everyone had a great time.  I know I did and actually played some decent golf this year.

Candy made three golf towels for the winners.  She made one extra so I also have one.   Below are a few pics I took during the awards ceremony.                         
I managed to come away with a trophy this year.   Took 3rd in the handicap division.  I was in the running for 2nd until I fell apart on the last day.   Well, it happens.                                                                                                         









One More

Yes, it has been a few months since I made a post.  I have been traveling off/on for the last couple of months and will attempt to catch up with a few items.

I finished another tank.   This one came out really nice and looking to do more in this style.   With the weather changing and my travel, I haven't been to the shop in several weeks.  This was my last project before hitting the road.
