I am scheming a SoCal trip with at least one of my three boys, and/or a buddy and his sons.
If ever I'm there, count on a call!
I have a list of west coast rod shops I'm wanting to crawl.

and likewise for the OkC metro area.

When back out to SDA I will shoot you a note. It’s one of our markets so I am out there about once a year to check in on things.

I was in San Diego back in February, we went to nice little auto museum in balboa park. Also got to go up to Chip Foose's shop. My daughter rented us a 65 mustang to cruise up the PCH. Sure was nice compared to Buffalo ny in the winter.

When I go on a trip I try to arrange a meet with fellow FTErs on route and in the area, sometimes the chagrin of my wife. I usually end up spending more time than she likes talking trucks.

I have an idea, you could host a San Diego FTE meet!!! It's a 2300+ drive for me in the F-2, map says 31 hours which would translate into 50 hours old truck drive time plus there's mountains and desert in between, maybe add another 10 hours.

Im glad you could experience my home and had fun. On Tuesdays i drive the 101 aka PCH from Encinitas down to Clairmont to end my work day..My work is selling tools out of my mobile tool store aka Ethyl*THE*Tool Truck. Cruisen the PCH at dinnertime lots of sidewalk eateries means a lot of exposure and resulting smiles,thumbs up gestures etc I like it when I have something to do with helping people smile
