All work and no play?
If you know Jake Dunnum you know that he is a busy guy. As product manager for ETC's major dimming lines and all of our networking products he has very little down time at work.
Here we see Jake taking a conference call from our dinner location at the Lindl, Mark vassallo's favorite place to eat. The Lindl is in a lovely location with charming service and very bavarian style food.
Mark insists that everyone eat the garlic soup - which makes for a nice atmosphere in the conference room the next day. Just to prove that we are not all work and no play - we wound up the evening with a game of traditional Bavarian bowling called Kegelscheiben.
This single wooden lane at the Lindl has been around over 150 years - originally as a dirt lane. The Bavarian variation on the game "Holzbarteln" is very complex - involving strategies to leave certain pins up and payments of beer litres to the group for certain combinations and extra payments to the pin setter for sertain actions. We played it american style. And Jake Dunnum emerged the winner. You can see his early skills forming here on video. Don't miss Mark vassallo setting pins!
Great pains were taken to document the occasion. David Gray is truly an artist.
You can see Davids other work here. Myself, I didn't do too badly in the evenings game.
Now here is something you don't see everyday in Germany. Gunther Weidemann has a nice ride for the Autobahn.
According to Gunther this is the only 1977 Chevy Stepside in Germany! And it is a beauty. A precision tuned 350 - 4 barrel makes this quite fun on long stretches of highway. Gunther spent the last everal months doing the final assembly. He wishes he had purchased a digital camera before he began the disassembly! Special thanks to Oskar Krogell for the video clips!
Jake and I took a decompression driving trip down to Tergernsee last night after the days meetings. Here is a slide show of my pictures from that trip.
Munchen tonite. Home tomorrow.
