Final Plans for Italy

With 2 weeks before we go to Italy, we have everything all planned out. Karrie and i worked on the itinerary for a long time. We've changed the places, the dates and mode of transportation several times.

We looked at options like going to Pisa but found out that the leaning tower is the only thing to see there and not worth making a special stop. We planned on going to Milan but then heard that there's nothing to do and the people are rude. Going to Pompeii or the Amalfi Coast would have been cool but we figured we are going to be sick of seeing ancient ruins and the Amalfi Coast is more of a city to drive around, not walk.

The 10 day schedule that we came up with is great. For example the first day we arrive in Rome we are going to the Vatican. That's because we noticed that September 27th is World Tourism Day and admission is free.

Last week we all purchased our 3 day Eurail passes and vouchers for the trains. We will be taking the train to Florence twice and Venice once. We felt like the train was the best way to travel because it takes us right to the center of the cities without having to deal with traffic and the hassles of renting a car. Plus after a full day of walking it will be nice to maybe sleep on the train ride back.
Here is the itinerary for the entire trip. The prices on right are in US dollars $ and Euros €. As of right now the conversion is $1.5 = 1€. We had to guess at some of the prices like €40 for dinner. After reading about what it might cost, we decided to guess a high amount. I'm really hoping that it won't cost that much, but we felt that it would be better to predict higher than lower.

This sheet has been changed and updated many times as we were planning the trip, but for now this is the plan.

GM - Tennessee and Kentucky

For work last week two of us got to go visit some more GM plants and look at their pavement. Last year i went to Reno, Denver and Ranch Cucamonga California.

We flew into Nashville Tennessee. Our first stop after the Nashville airport was the exit right near Fiddlers Inn. The same place john and i stayed when we were in Nashville. Since that trip the hotel has taken on a mythical quality.
The Dukes of Hazard "museum" called Cooter's is right next door to the hotel.
That day we drove to Bowling Green Kentucky. Ale 8 1 is a ginger ale from down there and it's super good.
This is also from Kentucky. I didn't try it.
The GM plant that builds the Corvette is in Bowling Green. It seemed like every car in the lot was different. From one to the next they had different rims, different models (z06, z07, zr1) and different prices, starting at $64,000.
These are the 100 year anniversary cars waiting to get a racing stripe painted on.
This one was my favorite. A turbo charged ZR1 with lots of carbon fiber and cost $128,000.
This is one of the racks they use for paint. All that bubbling is from the layers of paint that has built up.
I didn't know what it was until i broke off a piece and saw all the different layers of paint.
Here's the rejected body parts to be thrown out.
The next day we drove back to the old Saturn plant in Tennessee. It still had the old plantation house that the GM plant is built on.
This is where they sucked up the different paint colors for the Saturn's.
There are lots of turkey's at the Saturn plant.
Steak and Catfish
The last day we got done a little early and had time to go to the Jack Daniels distillery in Lynchburg Kentucky. It was cool, the free tour lasted a couple hours. Some of the rooms we went in were near 130 degrees, where they were fermenting the barley and hops. We weren't allowed to take pictures inside the buildings though.
Apparently Jack Daniels was only like 5'2"
This is where they make charcoal. The charcoal is put in huge barrels and the whiskey is filtered through it to remove impurities.
Also on the trip i found some interesting seeds. The top one is Osage Orange. It looks and feels very much like a brain.
I'm not sure what this tree is but i saw a bunch of them in Tennessee.

Sliderule

If you know what this is, then you are old.
If you have ever used one of these, then you are really old.
But after China detonates an Electromagnetic Pulse bomb (EMP) over the world and knocks out all electronic devices, i'll be all set and ready to multiply and divide big numbers.
Actually i was really amazed at how cool this was, once i figured out how to use it. For example in this picture i set the slider to line up with the 6.

The back of the sliderule is used for sin, cos and tangents. Again i was amazed at how accurate it was and how easy it was to use.

Banana Tree Update

Before it gets too cold i thought that i should move the banana tree to a bigger pot. The roots were completely growing out of the old one.
Here's 1 of 2 new trees sprouting up.
The bigger pot weigh's probably close to 100 lbs with all the dirt in it.
