Chris’ BBQ Mecca

I finally found my BBQ Mecca after years of searching! It all started around 2008. I had just started a new job where we have to hang around a conference booth in San Antonio, TX for four hours in the evening. My boss calls me at 10 am and says “We’re going out for BBQ. […]

Cincinnati

I had to go to Cincinnati for work and it turns out to be a pretty great little city. The big highlight was finding this museum just before it was recommended to me by a friend. This place is magnificent and is an american treasure. https://www.americansignmuseum.org/ The Tiki Bar, Tiki-Tiki Bang Bang, was pretty fun:

Howe Caverns

I arranged a work trip to New York so we could go to Ohana Ten: Luau by the Lake. The flights to Albany weren’t great, so I had to fly in a day early for the work part.  Last time I went to Hidden Caverns, which were pretty cool. There’s another, more popular, cavern attraction

Mesa Verde National Park

We stayed three nights outside of Mesa Verde Nat’l Park. The view from our RV park was terrific. We booked the tour of Balcony House Cliff Dwelling a couple of days before the tour date. I was very much looking forward to seeing this place up close. Had a touch of food poisoning that day,

We tried a bunch of different shipping methods: Shipping in the original boxes.  We have 20 relays, so that was a pain. Shipping multiple relays in some good cardboard boxes with 2-6″ foam all the way around. Fedex

Maui Part I

Our annual pilgrimage to Hawaii started in Oahu, followed by Hawaii (Big island), and now we’re in Maui. We’ve both been stressed lately and are just chillin’, so there aren’t a lot of pictures.  Here’s what we have so far. We went to Lahaina for the art fair. Some random beach we don’t remember.

Portland and Multnomah Falls

I’ve been to Portland and driven by the falls many, many times but I decided to actually see the sites on this Manta trip.  After my presentation in Downtown Portland, I started at Tugboat Brewery who poured me their recommendation…from another brewery.  I was a great little pub, though. I moved on to Deschutes Brewery where

Here are some more pictures from Accra, Ghana.  If the picture quality sucks, it was taken from a moving car through a window.  Enjoy.

Ghana 2012 – Day 1

The company I represent sold a test set in Ghana and I volunteered (Actually the only volunteer) to do the training so I could get my travel pin on the continent.  This trip to Africa allows me to brag that I’ve been on six of the seven continents. I looked into Antarctica but it’s waaayyy

Ningaloo Reef, Australia

Day 10 Sept. 23rd  Chris came home early and we drove 63 kilometers to Turquoise Bay in Ningaloo Reef Park.  It was a wonderful drive. We passed hundreds of red termite hills in the desert. Turquoise Bay was fun! We did the Drift part of the bay. We walked into the sea on one side
