Christmas?

Merry Christmas! We're hitting the road Monday. Not sure where but we'll post updates as time, wi-fi, and motivation permit. Lori drank this Christmas Eve and was out before the "Muppets Christmas Carol" was half over.  Christmas Eve Egg-Burger-Dog. Santiago Canyon Road in Orange. Close to 80 degrees. Sidecars are fun!

A Christmas Poem

Christmas 2011 It’s raining outside the Benz looks like crap. The noise from the radio’s Jingle Bells Rap. You beat up a guy for his Occupy Tee. Now off for the park to chop down a tree. The wife’s on your iPad doing live request cam, so you head for the market to steal a fat ham. Your phone starts to buzz as you head out the door. The In-laws again, they’re trying to score. Christmas will be here in just one more night, bring ’em a bottle they’ll stay out of sight. The kids left last Friday to go out and play, they always come home for the big holiday. You ride by a church and think about mass, but you know ol' Santa don’t give a rat’s ass. Arrive at the mall and the parking lot’s packed, the really good cars have already been jacked. The soon bankrupt Center’s a mile away. You snag a good space it might be your day. Down near Wet Seal you hear a loud sound. The cops have your daughter hog-tied on the ground. Y

Truck hunting on the Central Coast.

Back on December 2nd we loaded the L-Rod with cash and warm Made in USA clothing and headed to Cambria in search of a new/old truck. Lori wants a Panel Truck and I'm thinkin' '70s Stepside 4x4. I know-I know get the Panel, but I've wanted a Stepside Chevy since high school. L-Rod and Lori at Cambria Palms Motel. Check it out! Room 6...that's 66 less a 6 and the address is 2 66 2 Main Street. Coincidence? I think not. We had dinner at the Sow's Ear. This place is great, the Chicken Fried Steak is real steak.  (View from Lynn's Fruit Bin) This is Camozzi's. I was never thrown out of Camozzi's...for sure.  This a patio/garden area behind the Motel. The air was 45 degrees but the sun was so hot I had to take off my Jacket.   After breakfast we drove to to see a '62 Panel in Los Osos with short stops in Harmony and Cayucos. Harmony: Population 18. Next time you're on Highway One you should stop there. Lor
