Austin post

So I'm here and working now. Work is pretty good, although I've only been here for 2 days now. But so far it's everything that I was expecting. I haven't gone downtown yet, but I have driven around enough to know that this place has everything that San Jose has, just cheaper. Anyway, here's some more pictures...

Coming in on 290 to Austin on Saturday morning


Busting arse through Johnson city about 30 minutes outside of Austin


The 4Runner hitting 100K on the odometer in New Mexico


Some pictures of a pond outside of the office


More pictures of the pond


Not to make anyone cringe, but you can get a house like this for 600K. This house is on the very top of a hill in a gated community. A house like this in San Jose will go for more than 1.5M...ouch...

The long burn to Austin Texas

So I am almost in Austin, but I decided to hang out in Sonoma Texas before pushing through to Austin due to an attack from a killer headache. This was a great idea as there was an awesome steak house that actually grows their own cattle in a ranch that is right behind the restaurant. They've got their own chisholm trail from the grazing field to the slaughter house and onto the grill all within 500 yards of each other...

Well, here's some pix...


Let's get going...


Dinner in LA.


Who knew you could park your jet anywhere in the desert?


Not much else to do in the arizona desert.


Target practice? Or do the dessert critters like cactus?


Zoom...


Yawn...


A whole lotta nothing...


Looks like someone cut this mountain down the middle. On the opposite side is the exact thing.




This is Kent elementry school...or what's left of it...

But the one thing that's for sure about driving along the 10 route is that you sure get some serious dead time where your thoughts can get pretty strange.
