Well, we're off to the Route 66 Rendezvous in San Bernadino. Big doin's out there, they close of 2 miles of downtown San Bernadino and over 1,000 Classic Cars, Trucks and assorted other vehicles cruise around town, many with open headers, and bring the show to you! Among this year's headliners are Frankie Avalon, Paul Peterson of the Donna Reed Show fame, and Football Ledgend Jerry Rice.
Got an early start today with Mango (the Painter) showing up at 7:30am to start on the Media Room, we had to take JC's car in to get the brakes done before our trip and then JC and I made a trip to Lowes to pick up Horse Tails, a couple small Palms and 120 lbs of planting mix, Francie had to teach and then go shopping, Nick (all purpose Handyman) arrived to finish spreading and leveling the Truck load of dirt Manual moved on Wednesday. Then Franci had to teach some more this evening and JC had to get his car washed while I ran a few errands and shortly we'll be off to load the car (it looks like 6 people are going for a week...), pick-up Franci and head on our way to the lovely Econo Lodge.

Friday is check-in day and give things a the once-over, primarily to find the Hospitality "tent" which is really a whole street corner with a couple of tents, chairs, couches, food tables and of course the Bar! Saturday morning is the CRUSIN' HALL of FAME Induction Ceremony, and JC will be introducing the event's MC, David McClelland, the "voice" of the NHRA. I'll have more on that later this weekend. Also joining us for the weekend will be Black & Jim Bell - Bass player and Lead Guitar with GLASS (Ya'll know GLASS right?)
Sunday's a lazy day, JC & Franci are heading to a birthday for a 90 year old Friend, and I'll be getting a ride back to Hermosa as it'll be time to check on Stoopy & Vinnie (the Cats).
Good Friend Sandy Saemann is out of the Hospital (I know, you didn't even know he was in did you) after back surgery, and is doing well - working on his latest project, to open a small food restraunt in Manhattan Beach, HOTDOGGERS. (More on that when it's appropriate). His younger Brother Rob and wife Katie left yesterday for Italy, and a family visit (on Katie's side) in Sicily.
