Default Well gents, it's been nice knkowing you all...

as I'm selling my C4 and getting a smart car

Actually, I'm leaving Monday for San Diego to fly out to Virgina Beach to meet up with my 27yr old son. On Wednesday at the crack of dawn, we start driving back to Hemet, CA. We should be back by Saturday evening. The wife and daughter are heading off to Colorado to check out the colleges. I'm not going back to work until the 13th. My son and I will be pulling a small trailer with his F150. We plan to head south and hit the 40 going west, then in Arizona, we go south and hit the 10.

Just kidding about the selling the C4, but I'm sure I got your attention.

You don't learn do you? Don't you remember how well it went for the dog when he told us he was leaving and wouldn't be able to check in? I can see the age jokes starting already.

Seriously, have a great trip and be safe.

Your right about the age...damn feet still hurt, but my right foot has improved 95% since last November. My left foot is another story. Some days, it feels fine for a few days, then it hurts again at the heel.

All I can say, if you do visit him, make sure your A/C is in top condition, and I mean top

Same here. I know you'll be on a schedule but if time allows give me a shout. Can't promise anything about a ticket though.

Have a safe trip.

Have a great trip.

If I still lived in VB I'd buy you and your son a beer. Make sure that you hit up Catch 31 on the beach if you want some good seafood (and usually some good... ummm... scenery ) while you're out there.

Thanks. My son was living there due to the Navy. He gets out on the 5th after 6 years and 2 tours in Iraq. My wife and I stayed in VB a couple of years ago for vacation. We stayed right at the beach with a window overlooking the ocean.

Have a safe, fun trip I was on I-40 between Memphis and Nashville last week and the amount of truck traffic was unreal. Almost as bad as I-10. Be careful.

And, if you hear a sound that reminds you of a pig in distress, it's probably it's too late.
