Kelly in SoCal...

Last night a few SoCal SOC folks met up with Kelly Frazer in San Diego for a BBQ dinner. It was a great dinner with some good friends...

The man really gets around, don't he? Dinner with me Tuesday in DC, and with you Wednesday in Sandy Eggo.

Look who's talkin!.....:)

Rosa Mexicana was pretty darned good, wasn't it?

Also there (DC) were BERT, Wolfgang, and Tortilla Bill (crhemi, two Speedsters in two weeks - sheesh!)

We're going to have to get an exercise routine set up for Kelly. I thought the Mexican food we had with him Tuesday night would stick with him a few more days. Nothing on that table looks like it would make it by my low fat, no cholestrol restricted diet. I don't see a salad there!

Make that "DOS Tortilla Bill"

Get Kelly back so he can work on my speedster this weekend --- Carlisle is fast approaching!

The day after dinner & drinks with Kelly, I was keeping my eye on the horizon over San Diego to see if there weren't any squiggly missile trails over Miramar airbase. You know what a jokester that Kelly is after a few drinks!!! :-)

Be afraid, Jim, be very afraid.

:)

Missiles??? I don't fire 'em -- I don't even build 'em. I just design 'em. Besides, why would I be lookin' to piss off the bunch of flyin' leathernecks at Miramar? I like those guys! Semper Fi, and all that stuff.

I admit that even I was amused (amazed?) at the notion of dining out w/ Wolfgang, BERT, Lane, et al. on one night in DC and sitting next to MUSBJIM wolfing down the best barbeque around the next night in SD. My mind knows that if only takes about five hours on a plane, but still -- it seems WEIRD.

It was great to meet a few new faces, vs. just the virtual kind you get here on the Forum. Too bad Sandy Eggo is having a cold snap (it's only 60 here) and these warm blooded SoCal'ers would not get their speedies out and do some cruisin'. Pierson, in an effort to fix that, suggested we get together today, but my business meeting was too long to allow that, so we're going to hook up for breakfast and such before I go for my plane ~noon tomorrow. Pictures to come if it happens.

There is not a better bunch of folks to go hang w/ than Speedster (OK, and Spyder) freaks. Very very cool. On either coast.

PS: While sitting next to MUSB, I leaned pretty hard on him about Carlisle. I explained that there was NO WAY he could not get it done. I even told him I'd drive to Gettysburgh, and we can tour that hallowed ground for four score and seven minutes. -??- MUSB: MAKE IT HAPPEN. Plus Vince and angela, and who knows who all else will be there. Gonna be a PARTY!

i think I better stop now, I'm beginning TO SOUND TOO MUCH LIKE gerd . . .

Kelly, you still around if so hit up Jimbo for C&C Orange County?

It was great meeting Kelly and talking Speedsters, sorry we dogged out and didn't bring at least one speedy.

Enjoyed the People and the food. Great night!

Cheers
Dave

I hooked up with Kelley this AM and we had a nice sunny drive in the IM! Took him to Harry's in La Jolla and on a few twistys up Mt. Soledad. Good to meet another SOC friend. Good times at dinner the other night with Dave,Chrissa,MUSBJIM, Kelly, and Debbie.

Great company and truly fine hospitality. Although visit was short, I had a fine time, and did manage some CA cruisin'

PS: I had to get back home -- much to do -- so sorry to miss the C&C ritual. NExt time, I'll stay a day or two more, if I can. C&C is way cool, and Will said he though he'd go and maybe MUSB too. So it should be just another sunny car cruisin' day in Paradise tomorrow. You guys have got it good out there on the Left Coast.
