48 hours to NASCAR in Southern California! How bad have you got it? 

Looking Top Down

This is looking down into the garage. Soon a second story will be added. 

Building a Garage

I helped put the joists up for this garage. 

Building a Habitat

Worked on a Habitat for Humanity job site today with a bunch of folks from the office. Doing construction work instead of pushing a mouse around a desktop was very refreshing... But it was VERY hot today!

A Night at the Symphony

Took a trip to the Pacific Symphony playing outdoors at the Verizon Amphitheater last night in Irvine. It was pretty awesome. 

Performing...

They were playing "Thunder and Lighting Polka by Johann Strauss with fireworks going off overhead. 

Audience at Intermission

Not sure how many people where at the perfomance... but it was a bunch. 

Virtuoso Pianist Sa Chen

I was at a post-reception backstage and had someone take my picture with the virtuoso pianist Sa Chen. She was incredible! 

NASCAR is Coming....

Just 21 days to the Sony HD 500. NASCAR returns to Southern California!

Pushin the Car, Pushin the Car...

The only thing better than getting to push a racecar around is getting to drive it around. I did the first part.  

Camera Time

The #59 Taleo Mexican Grill Super Late Model

I spent part of the day yesterday hanging out with the crew and drivers of this car and the #58 at the Irwindale Speedway in Southern California. In this photo the car is in line to qualify. Lot's of fun!  

Small and Fast

This racecar is in the Legends division. Just big enough for an engine and a driver. REALLY SMALL, VERY FAST! 

120 Miles an Hour

Tough shot to catch a racecar, at speed, on a digital camera.
