Best day ever?, Damnnnnn! Options

[Howard]

Start out at 7:30. Get gas and head for San Pedro to meet the gang. 65 miles later, after getting lost a couple of times, find the Pacific Diner and the gang. Find a parking place after 3 laps, stand around for a while and go have breakfast. 14 or so of us. I get this great Crab, Swiss and avocado omelet, good coffee, great service. Leave there and go to the p'lot overlooking ocean. Schmooze around there for a couple of hours while the mechanical types fix Alan's brakes.
Rob and I leave to head back up the coast. A bit of traffic on the freeway, but tolerable. Decide to stop for a cool one, go to the Rock Store and mingle with the Harley guys for a while.
Then Mulholland to Decker to PCH. No traffic (OK, one SUV who pulled over and waved us by right away) and we do a nice 7/10th run to the beach. Loved listening to that hot 6 breathing down my neck. Both cars running great. Temps 65 to 80. Then he heads north, and I return home.
Take a short nap, Mrs. gets home from Costco with some great lamb chops. Fire up the BBQ, pour a couple of fingers of Stoli, end up with charred rare lamb, redskin potatoes, cobb salad, and a good Merlot.
Maybe the guy with the yacht and Carrera GT had a better day, but I'll bet not.

not much happened on the way to get the paint, food, shin guards, glasses or round-up but the drive home was great.

stopped at a road side stand to get some corn and cantalope and as we were leaving a guy in a TT stood there and stared. i mentioned this to my son (9) and he said "ya. it happens all the time." ok.......

then we were getting some new cell phones and the sales guy was trying to get me to buy some stuff i didn't wan't so i said, "well i don't need that sh.." and then my son pipes up with "...it" laughs all around!!:lol: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

then we are pulling off 28 onto a small twisty road to home and it is probably about a 155 degree hard left. well the tires were nice and warm so ~35 seemed about right. well it was, not even a squeek from the tires (going to slow obviously) and now the boy starts to grin. rounded a couple of 30 mph corners at 50-60-ish and then the last 20mph posted corner at about 45. by now he was laughing.

"that is why i like this car son"........"and if you say anything to your mother, i'll kill you" (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

and so i stop to buy some beer just before we get to the house, and the owner asks how he is doing, and what does he say?!

"i'm hot. my dad's car doesn't have any air conditioning." turd!!!!!

then as i was getting into the car, a guy standing at van next to me puts his caller on hold and says "is that a 6?" "nope. a '73 four." "very nice"...... muchas gracias...

great day though. the boy has really gotten into doing a 50+ ft climbing wall at the local sporting goods place. little weasel is quite the climber......

pretty darn close to howards day depending on your perspective!!!
