Killer party today. Yes I got home on Saturday, just 10 min ago. Might need some tires now, and a haircut, but good trip home.
Awesome drive down with Galassi and Carlos, nice tour of almost all of Southern Calif getting there
, lots of fun blasting out of toll booths, right Carlos?
Sorry if anybody didn't get any pizza
Nice to see everybody,
don't miss the toy drive cruise next month!

Looks like I missed a good one, and practically in my backyard! Still lying in bed with my meds
I was really looking forward to going too. Congrats Keith on your new book.
Can't wait to get a copy.

Oh, no... not MORE images.
We pulled up after lunch and parked next to this cat.
Most of the cars present.
Nicely done 911.
People were/are very stoked on Keith's new book.
Wocket.
Fasrnu.
Greg B. brought a round car, also.
Bill, signing Russell's book.
Russell took Bill's car for a drive on a lovely day in the uncrowded canyon. Sounds good, in theory... yes?
And off he went.
Here's Russell, upon his return... backing the car in it's space, again.
I hope that I'm not letting the cat outta the bag too soon... but here's Russell, Bill, and a title to a car. Could this be a 2-for-1 deal for Russell? Looks like a bigger shipping container will be in order, back to Scotland.
A small gathering, of sorts.
Keith and some guy trying to gain publicity. Stalkerazzi, no doubt.
Kids playin' on the lawn.
The more I see Dave's car, the more I dig and appreciate it.
Another aspect of the overall effect, such that it is.
What better spot to catch a sunset?
Cover cars, in this case, look good from any angle.
More attendees rollin' in.
Plenty of good food, bier, and great people to converse with, throughout the day.
Mr. Crawford pulled up and acquired rockstar parking status. And rightfully so.
Pilot's quarters.
Front view.
Was good to take the '67 out, today. Perfect weather, an awesome no traffic drive through a desolate canyon road, and good times in general.
The reason we all gathered.
Keith, your book is fully worth the wait. That... my friend, is a mild understatement. I can't wait to take some time and read it cover to cover. Doug & Leslie, thank you for opening your home and your generous hospitality. Sarge & Sharon, congrats on that book cover. VERY cool! To everyone else, we had a blast hangin' out with you. Like the thread title says; what a great day, indeed.

Thank you so very much

Yes, Sir! I agree. To me, the American spelling doesn't deserve my respect because most of the breweries (mainstream) produce quantity and not quality. I've always favored non-U.S. biers since I was in my late teens.
Back to the book..
