My opinion is Mt. Hamilton by itself isn't worth it ESPECIALLY on a long weekend in the daytime when the cyclists are out in force; see my review earlier in the thread about the roads up here. Of course, you need to drive Mt. Hamilton to get to San Antonio Valley...

Mt. Hamilton ends at the observatory. Past the observatory the road changes name to San Antonio Valley and it's actually quite fun. If the road just ended at the observatory, I'd consider the drive a waste of gas. The fact that San Antonio Valley exists means that I'll happily slog through the cyclist dodging game that is Mt. Hamilton to get to the good stuff: San Antonio Valley.

Anybody around here in Fremont today? Or at least exited off of Stevenson onto the 880 North? Saw an 8 hop on right before my exit, contemplated chasing it down.

Grey, looked stock from the *** end.

If you continue north past the 3 way intersection it'll turn into Mines Rd. and dumps you into Livermore.

I'm trying to decide what to do at work. They have asked me to move into an open position which I don't think is a good career move, but everyone else seems to think otherwise. Even the engineer that I'm replacing hates the f*cking job.

I hate engineering support. There's always this dumbf*ck engineer calling for help and makes you wonder how the @#$% they even got an engineereing degree.

OK, I'll go watch ***** of Fury, I need to laugh after being pressured into this position. Perhaps we all can go to Mercado?

I'm doing support right now. But I'm planning on going back for my masters in a couple years so it's a good way to network and all that.

I've dealt with a couple of dumbfucks.

where's Mercado?

I guess job-security comes with this new positioin. We're releasing new products within the next two years so you know there's going to be problems.

Mercado is close to Great America parkway near 101. The theatres are nice. It's just an idea.
