David and Haruko!: November '11

Hi Everyone! How was your November? We kept busy - mostly eating ;-)

We went to San Francisco with our friends Ravi and Naju.

Dinner at the Cheesecake Factory on Union Square.

We drove to my cousin's house in Desert Hot Springs during my birthday weekend.

Gary and Lorna took us out to dinner - at a vegan restaurant called Native Foods. It was a fantastic meal - I wish we had this restaurant in Stockton!

After dinner we walked along the main street in downtown Palm Springs - where we ran into Laura - another cousin (actually my cousin's daughter... so second cousin?) My mom and Gary's mom were sisters - Laura's grandfather was their brother.

I put the finishing touches on the Vectrix - this is the new gauge - it provides much more information than the original gauges.

A custom-made decal...

... two new tires... and I'm on the road again!

We drove to Sacramento to see the movie, "The Revenge of the Electric Car" - several people drove their EVs there for the event.

The Nissan LEAF, the Tesla Roadster, and the Chevy Volt.

My friend Bob and I rode our motorcycles to San Mateo for the International Motorcycle Show.

This yellow Lightening bike is an electric race bike that goes over 200 MPH.

We had a great Thanksgiving - how was yours?

Haruko cooked a feast of Tofurkey and stuffing, mashed potatoes and cashew gravy, green beans, and cranberry sauce. For dessert we had pumpkin pie a la mode... all was delicious. But best of all, Jerod and Hayley joined us for Thanksgiving dinner.
