Arrived in SoCal Thursday stopping at the Outpost on Route 66 and 395 for an always good lunch. The Outpost still cooks "Truck Stop" food the way it used to be and it's always served by friendly people who make you feel welcome. (You over-thirty travelers know what I'm talking about, the rest of you should ride up and see what you've been missing).


We picked up our truck and were reminded of the part that fell off it the day we left and went shopping for a new truck. Haven't done anything yet but between that and getting a little work in we wasted a good part of the day.

I've started captioning photos but quit trying to arrange them properly, it's a pain in the butt. I'll continue with the captions and will have the links and wrap post before the end of the week.

Orange is having their big street fair so we're avoiding the shop and downtown 'til Monday...and already going stir crazy missing life on the road.

Thanks for your patience with orders, we won't process your cards 'til we ship!

Update: I captioned all the pictures from the trip. They're not all in order but as I said It's a pain in the butt.


Zoom in and read the sign above Lori! All these years and I never knew...

Pantera motor spotted at Belmont Shores car show today. Thanks for humoring me. This is a test for the mobile blog thing. It finally worked! Since you're here...this car really had a gold plated drivetrain and lots of trim including custom made bumpers. Believe it or not it looked really cool in a strange way. Here you go Barbary Buzzard. Lori got better shot of engine compartment. and the bumpers.

Mike Hodis of Rising Sun Jeans hosted a post Inspiration party Sunday with all the trimmings. Rising Sun hand crafts denim and work wear on antique sewing machines using traditional techniques and the highest quality materials. Mike's passion for quality is only rivaled by his knowledge and skill. Took the R100S out Santiago Canyon to try out the new throttle cables...they work, and had lunch at the Silverado Cafe . This place is pretty good. It reminds me of the cafes found in small towns far away from California. The waitress was real nice, the food was good, and lunch was less than $10 including coffee! I'm going to try breakfast next time. Cafe Racer Lunch Counter at Silverado Cafe I was honored to be allowed to drink from Rosemary's pretty cat mug. We got more Schott 141 Cafes and 689H Retro Horsehides. We're still waiting for  Women's One Stars. The NHRA Winter Nationals were this week and I hung around the ...

I Googled my grandfather and learned he was born in Missouri. I'm pretty happy about that because I liked riding Route 66 through Missouri last summer and everyone we met there was really nice. Wendy and John who we hung out with in Seligman, AZ are from Missouri too! My Grandfather's parents, brothers, and sisters in 1894. He was born in 1895 and didn't make this photo.
