It took me a long time to get used to the fact he wasn't in Calgary any more...

Is my status misleading? I just retired two years ago - haven't even sold the house yet.

As always, I waited till the last minute to start a few projects. Hopefully I can get it done two weeks. Looking forward to seeing you guys again.

St Paddy's annual meet is only a couple weeks away!
I know many who have attended, enjoyed the raffle in Darin's back yard.
It is always fun to watch Darin, and Charles half-drunk pull numbers out of the plastic cup and try to correctly read them.
I will be bring several wonderful items for this part of the weekends festivities.
Your donation helps underwrite the countless coolers of cold beer, great food, and clean up, for Charles and Darin!
This is a great way to explain to your significant other why you are leaving for the weekend.
Just say that you are cleaning out some old stuff that is cluttering up the place.
Thanks in advance,
Ray in Phoenix

Hmmm, so the beater 850 didn't get left at the side of the road last year. Nice looking shop, I'd like to see it sometime.

How is prep coming for everyone?
We are a month away and I am woefully behind...

Ready! One week to spare.

Catherine and I are making it a west coast adventure driving both the Oregon coast and the Redwoods. Hotels booked in Eugene, Eureka, Monterey and Santa Barbara before getting to San Diego Thursday.

In addition to addresses for the three locales, can someone recommend an authentic (in terms of food not necessarily decor) Mexican restaurant for dinner Thursday?

Not open for dinner, but I highly recommend this place for a Friday morning breakfast. Great food and no atmosphere. Be prepared to wait 45 minutes plus if you get there too late (after about 9 am or so).

If you want to drop by my house Thursday late afternoon/night (we're going down there Thursday night) we can go to our local favorite, Casa Diaz...

The Paddy 'O heater is fixed (again!) and I learned that propane tanks have an expiration date.

If anybody wants parts off this 535is come down to Carl's (La Jolla Independent)on Friday, otherwise I'm going to take off what we want and throw the rest of the car in the trash

How much for the roof coffin?

How much for the roof coffin?

not sure that's for sale, the e28 is just being used for a storage table at the moment. We use it when we go to the mountains

[Karl Grau]

It's supposed to cool down by next weekend so we got that going for us,which is nice.
