Vapor trails...The end of the trip

After leaving the Googleplex I had plenty of time left in my last day in San Fransisco, so I decided to head over the fishermans whorf. The weather was perfect at 74 degrees. It was a Wednesday so there wasn't a ton of people out. I met a few shaddy characters out there and just had to get a few selfies with them.





Then I went out for dinner at the Bistro Boudin. What a great place to eat. Friendly staff, great food, great atmosphere.


The meal was fantastic as you can see. The trip was just what this Duck needed. Time to recharge my batteries without doing a total reset before the big holiday push at work.

On returning home I had to fly to Seattle to catch a plane to the Redmond airport. Now I am a huge Duck fan (but thats not why my nic name is Duck) My whole family are Oregon Duck fans. So I was just a little disapointed in the plane I had to fly home in.


I have been training new hires just about everyday sence my return, should be a good season as they are all doing really well. The stress level is back to normal and I am ready for my fathers 80th birthday bash.Now on to the holidays and the headlong flight to the new year. "Bring it on" I say.

Oh and I'm looking forward to the Note Edge or the Note 4 from T-Mobile coming next month as one of those phones will be mine.

Until next time (who knows when that will be I am working 6 days a week or more and I don't see it slowing down for a few months) Keep your feathers dry....

Vapor Trails...... Stan

So as I was sneaking around last week at the Google complex (actually I was told I could go there) I went to building 43. As I was coming to the dorrway I seen this statue of a T-Rex. He was full of flamingos. There were flamingos in his belly, on the ground and one was hanging off his ass even. No one told me I wasn't supose to take pictures there... Until it was to late that is. Of course I didn't say that it was already a done deal, but it did prevent me from moving to the other side of it to get better shots. I found out later that this T-Rex has a name and history. His name is Stan, he was named after the man who found the fossil remains that was used as the mold for it. The flamingo's are another story. they are there "picking his bones clean" So here are the shots I got of "Stan" the secret dino of Google.
