no flat landers here
another off topic weekend post. I inserted a mapping device to the home page, austinmodhouse.com
it shows me where folks who get to the blog from that URL are located. in the past few days I've seen paris, ontario and all over the US.
I used to travel quite a bit. I was often annoyed by folks who assumed texas was all flat desert land occupied by backwards cowboys. so below I offer a pic from a weekend outing we made with the local bmwcca chapter

we had great fun on quite a spirited drive on roads that were just as twisty and up-downy as those we enjoyed in the santa cruz mountians, definitely not flat or straight.
the drive concluded at the flat creek estate winery where we tasted some italian varietal wines made by an australian winemaker and a nice lunch with new friends.
later today I'll give you a house update. I spent some time there yesterday but neglected to take the camera with me. I found that the retaining wall forms are nearly complete. we also expect and inspector to come by and give us the go ahead for drywall.
