As long as you don't come up here, supposed to be at, or over 100 for the next week.

I've had this week targeted for months to put the new front end in my '74.
Guess I'll be losing a little weight at the same time.
At least I'm stocked up on beer.

Was thinking of heading down to Brawley. But they had over 1" of rain this week. Think I'll just relax here at the hacienda instead.

Gotta get a smog check today on the '06.

5 minutes and 60 bucks later. The easiest 60 bucks made, but this is California.

Did you hear about our reps in Sacramento that had a trip plan to Texas to figure out what they were doing economically right, to spur the economy.

Our "team" was threatened if they went. Ultimately all republicans went, except for one "token" democrat who agreed.

Is Brown still mad at Gov Perry?

Only in California.

The menu said $60 plus cert, but it only cost me $40 out the door. I don't know why, and I didn't hang around protesting. I guess they charge less for diesel, since they don't really do much.

This place is right around the corner from my house, and will be my ongoing source for this kind of, uh, "service".
