Morning SoCal!

Well I'm back out in your neck of the woods again SoCal...landed yesterday late afternoon.

Hertz gave me a pretty sweet ride this week



A Volvo C70 hard top convertible with 190 miles on the clock!

Have a great week everyone!

Joe.

Considering the money you've been spending with Hertz, it's about time they set you up with one.

Next week, request another one!

Welcome back to the Sunny Southland, Joe!

Hey Pop...

Yeah...I've spent 10's of thousands with them...

I finally broke into the "President's Circle" with them...you need to rent 42 cars in a year to reach that level!...I typically only rent one car per week...where others will travel from city to city and rent 2-3 cars in any given week...mine are more rent one and done for the week...but I did break into that circle...FINALLY...

what that gets me is GUARANTEED upgrades over what I book...so we'll see how they do with this...

I am definitely going to ask for one of these when we're on Maui and Honolulu in December!...with the top UP...there is plenty of trunk space...with the top DOWN...fuhgetaboudit!

Looks like it will be a great week out here too!

Hang in there Steph! Get a good nights rest. Had a good day in the deserts of Inner Mongolia.

1. Vitamin filled breakfast;
2. Rabbit for lunch (dang those bones are sharp!);
3. Washed down with Seabuckthorn juice (what else would you use?);
4. Real shindig (in the China equivalent of Beach, ND) with firecrackers over the sale on solar water heaters. I swear they were lighting sticks of dynamite;
5. Solar heater in use;
6. Got the wifey a nice statue of the Chairman (won't she be thrilled?); and
7. Settled in with some ole' pull tabs- Bet I can get a buck for one on Ebay (1970's vintage beverage device)

Local fast-food Mexican chain (I believe three outlets) called Mission Burrito, has $1 tacos on Tuesdays, limit of a dozen. Same tacos as they normally sell for about five bucks (they are a spin-off part of Sierra's Restaurant).

I won't go near the place on Tuesdays, as the lines are out the door, and wind through the parking lot.

Sierra's, next door (a sit-down), has the same deal on Wednesdays, and is much more civilized. We were there last night for their "two-for-one" Monday combo specials. Again, more civilized "dining"

I like it too. I imagine the guy is trying to recoup the cost of a wrecked Jetta at least.
