Since you boys are feeling so cold and miserable, how about a little SoCal story?? Roll Eyes  Yesterday, I took a drive up to Montrose to hook up with Ratto and The Cape for some Mexican food and, more importantly, some highly touted Cadillac Margaritas.  After a 45 minute "Indy 500" style drive across the 210 freeway, I arrived in a cool little town I'd only heard of but never visited.  Joselitto's is on a tree shaded street in an old downtown area that still has it's 50's style bowling alley along with numerous kitschie shops to nose through.  After parking the Passat out back, I walked through the restaurant to see if the guys were there yet (they weren't  Angry) then walked out front and saw Greg Brinton headed my way on the sidewalk with Jim close behind.  Carlos was late after getting lost somehow even though he works in the area and should have known better...WTF??  By the time we got seated, we were all quite parched and guzzled our LARGE Margaritas while consuming massive quantities of chips and salsa.  An immediate buzz set in and soon there was loads of laughter, funny stories and a relentless attack on Carlos' love life Kiss Kiss Kiss followed by another LARGE Margarita, then our lunches.  HOLY SHIT!!!  I don't remember much about the food... all I know is I had one hell of a fun afternoon with three good friends!

Ratto took Sheep, Swivel Hips and myself to Joselito's a couple of times. The Platinum margaritas are dangerous. Grin

Finally today the guys finished installing my central heating. Very strange as now I am too hot in my house, whereas I have been too cold for the last two and a half years. Beer tasted OK, though...

In contrast, it has been unusually warm in California recently. I shot this picture today while goofing off after a delivery. It is supposed to be 60 degrees F all this week. January(!) in Northern California.

Would you mind redistributing the global warming a little? I think it's a bit selfish keeping it all for yourselves...  Angry Angry Angry Grin
