Lane on the West Coast..

Will, Dave and I caught up with Lane while he was on assignment on the West Coast. A short cruise to Old Town San Diego, a great Mexican restaurant and some margaritas...

One of the big advantages to traveling is spending time with your buddies! I've gotten to hang with Cory, Dusty & LMS, and Aaron (photoaaron) from this or the spyder site.

Cool people. Even better in real life.

That was a flash-induced blink, Jimbo, I swear! I'd only had 4 or 5 by then, right?

It looks like I'll be back the week of the 17th, if anyone wants a repeat performance.

Sure Lane. Let's see, I see 3 Cokes and a mixed drink. Camera blink, my ass. Looks like you guys had a good time.

Lane.. "Flash induced blink".. LMAO.. I wonder if that would hold up in court! Lane I am glad you were able to hook-up with some of our rowdy friends here in So Cali... Next time out I'd like to join too if not still looking for work.. You gotta have priorities .. or at least thats what I hear! LOL...

Jimbo et al, we want our Lane back on the correct coast with NO DENTS in his fenders!
Lane, glad you're having a good time, pal!

Lane, I took the opportunity to forward the pics to Mrs Anderson :)

Speedster "D" - Remind me again what kind of work you do. My company is hiring.

Lane, great seeing you. Give me a call when you return and we can get together.

Lane,

Had a great time, next time maybe we can check out Phil's BBQ, the best BBQ in Dago.
Or anywhere else.
Cheers
Dave

ya know, the last time I saw that "Flash induced blink" was on someone who had just finished his 4th Tequila 'slammer' at some Mexican bar near the Moscone Center in San Fran......

"Flash induced blink" my ass.........

I must point out that the drink - the first of the evening, I might add - is nearly full. The only thing I could be drunk on at that moment was the cameraderie. So there, nyah!

Jimbo.....Did Lane grab the beer nuts on the way out???

No beer nuts in that Mexican eatery, but he did take some beer chicharons to go...

You woulda been proud!!

---< ROUND TWO >---

Ok guys, I'm comin' back for more! I'll arrive on the evening of Sunday, 11/16, and leave Thursday, 11/20, to attend MILCOM. Let's pick one of the evenings between those two to get together, if any of y'all can make it.

Aww beans! I had a trip to LA that weekend, cancelled it and I'm going to Boise instead! Could have hung out with El Guapo and a guy with a first name of Lane (LOL!).

NUTZ!

angela

Lane, I should be able to make it! If Will is able to meet up again, I will defer to his coordinating with you for a meeting date/time!

See ya then!

Paz-Fuera!

El Guapo (of the Gabacho clan)

Rats, Angela! Go ahead and cancel your Boise trip. They're probably snowed in anyway.

Jimbo - Hope to see you, and the other nutz in a week or so.

Hey Lane, read your post and I've forwarded you some info on your email address.. Thanks again for reaching out here.. that is awesome of you... BTW when you get back into So Cali is it San Diego again or LA? Obviously given the chance I'd like to headout too! Jimbo can't be the only short good-looking slightly overweight Guapo you hook-up with out here...

Speedster "D"

P.S. let me know if you got that email..

David - I'll let you know about the email when I get home. I get get to Yahoo mail here. I will be back in Sandy Eggo instead of LA. Maybe you could hitch a ride with MUSBJIM.

Aw, you guys are killing me. Great to hear the networks works. I can personally attest to the great hospitality offered by MUSB and his crew, having had opportunity on three occassions in the not too distant past to meet, eat, drink and ride w/ some of the best Goombas. And SoCal and San Diego are really not too hard to take. I look fwd to more some time soon.

If the timing is right, I'll be driving my black beauty out there to join yous guyz... right now we are transistioning from Cross country to wrestling for Brando. Dylan is off till track season.. So if you've ever been involved in High School wrestling the weekends and Thursdays are pretty much booked! LOL..

Speedster "D" Thanks again Lane...

Hi Boys,

I'm back in the land of red/white/and blue after a week checking out some islands in the southern Caribbean and blowing some bubbles. I'm up for a meet next week depending on the day you all pick (got some dental work scheduled,need to check).

Cheers
Dave

Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday work for me. I'm staying in the Best Western Hacienda in Old Town, so it should be easy to get together.

Sunday is a little iffy as I arrive around 4:30pm, assuming all flights are on schedule. I should arrive at the hotel around 6:30pm, but that time is obviously subject to change.

Lane,

My dental appt is on Mon so that is out, maybe Tue. What does everyone think?

Dave

I'm good for Tuesday!

Sounds like Tuesday it is. Woohoo!!! When/where? Since I'm in Old Town, we can just meet at a restaurant unless y'all want to go somewhere else. I'm flexible.

Hey Gerd, I know it's a hike but is there any chance you can make it down this time?

lane im kicking my ass

Dunno when I'll be back out. I didn't know about this trip until two weeks ago. That's kinda how it goes. Next time may be we can find a place halfway between - if there are any. Or maybe this time????

Take heart Lane....The local SWAT team has been advised of your arival... ;-)

...as well as NAMBLA, NATO and IROC!

Lane, MUSBJIM,Dave O et al, I just got back from a trip with spotty internet connection. Been out of the loop.I am up for Tuesday. I'm hitting then hay now, will get in touch tomorrow. Peace out!

LUCKY BASTARDS

Ok, guys, I'm here. I'm at the Best Western Hacienda in Old Town. The plan appears to be that we (the 'we' is still undecided) do something on Tuesday. Now that I've seen the post about the Ferrari exhibit, I may have to get away a little early on Tuesday so that we can make that. Will, are you the point man on this? Let's talk Monday night so that we'll have a plan.

Lane enjoy the boyz again here.. and have Guapo Jim buy the suds... I have a family dinner planned and will not make the trip... Plus still looking too! you know.. Be good, but not too good!
