Fall Colors...

Took a drive through the Sauk River Valley after work today. The colors are just starting to change. Hope to be back in a few weeks when the colors should be more dramatic. Off to New Mexico next week and I just got a report from a friend that the aspens around Santa Fe are starting to change.  Can't wait....

Greetings from Chicago

Its been a great week here in Chicago. The IMTS exhibition has been fantastic. Millions of $'s of equipment sold & thousands of leads to follow up on. Wouldn't know from this week there was an economic slowdown.

Did get out a few days with my camera but the weather has not been real co-operative & at the end of the show each day dinner sounds real good.

Images from Chicago will posted to my Flickr site once I have chance to go the 5 Gig I shot.

Party Crasher

Out smokin' a Cohiba Anniversario cigar with my boys in Paso when Jason jumped up and yelled at me just before this baby was about to crawl across my foot.

Headed Home

Headed back from a nice 2 day business trip to Seattle. Didn't take my regular camera gear as I knew I wouldn't have time to use it. Next trip up will be early fall and we'll be making a trip through the Cascades. Real camera equipment will be required for that trip.

I spent 2 days at Boeing Aircraft. Sorry, no cameras allowed. But, my minds eye recorded it all. We had an awesome tour of the assembly floor. Talk about humungous; this one building covers 54 acres; its over 2.5 miles around it.

What did we see?

Up close and personal assembly of 757's, 67's, 77's ,and the brand new Dreamliner 787.
And we're not talking about off in the distance from a roped off aisle. We were walking under wings, fuselages, landing gears, horizontal & vertical stabilizers and avionics bays. We got to walk under, in, and through fixtures as big as warehouses used to fit sections together. We saw machinery used to make wing assemblies that are so big they ride on railroad tracks and the operators ride on them.

We saw the 787's they are rigging with sensors in preparation for static testing. Even the one that they'll bend the wings on until they snap. Some engineerd are betting they'll be able to bring the tips over the top of the plane without breaking. Either way, I'd love to be there for it.

Talk about a gearheads dream come true....

Unfortunately, no pics allowed so all you get are these crummy shots from my cell phone camera of my flight home from San Jose.
