We participated in the last E-Town car show this year handing out candy for the "Trunk or Treat" event. We love doing anything to help out kids. It was a great event, but due to the cold I believe the turn out wasn't as good as it could have been. Check out the photos of some of the Mustangs that we parked with.

Sherri and I visited Backbone Rock back in May of last year. I love making the trip up there, especially in the Mustang with the top down. It is a beautiful drive. We then headed down to Damascus and ate at a little place that had great food, but I can't remember the name of the place.

I was lucky enough to attend the Microsoft TechEd 2011 conference in Atlanta last year. It was a great trip, even though I missed a great deal of the conference due to problems at work. I hope I get to attend this year without interference. What little bit I was able to attend was a great learning experience. I think this year will be even better considering the soon to be released new version of Windows, System Center, and other Microsoft products this year.

I was able to buy some Braves memorabilia and clothing, go to the Coke Museum, visit the Georgia Aquarium, and visit various and sundry areas of downtown Atlanta. We also stayed a couple of extra days to visit the Atlanta Perimeter Center. While at the conference we stayed at the Omni, which I do not recommend. The beds were like rocks, the rooms had a smell I cannot describe, and the rooms were very small. While at the perimeter we stayed at Hampton Inn, which was OK, but was not the best.

While there we ate at Ruth's Chris, Cheesecake Factory, Hooters in downtown Atlanta, Taco Macs which had the best cheesecake ever, some eateries in the Phillips Arena, and the restaurant at the Omni which was actually very good. Believe it or not Taco Macs was the best.

Posting a bit late, but we have been very busy. We had a great Halloween. We didn't have that many kids this year, but it was still a great deal of fun. Here is a photo of me and Sherri all dressed up in our costumes. The mask that Haley and Sherri got me was extra cool thanks to the blood pump.

Sherri and Haley recently treated me to the best birthday ever. Here are some pictures from the Elizabethton/Carter County Cruise-In:

This photo is one that I have had for years. I decided to scan it several years back due to its advanced state of decomposition. I am posting it here to share a bit of Carter County history.
