Jealous, but only 'cause I had to spend last weekend working on / in the garage. Weather's been awesome around the bay area lately!

It is going to rain this weekend (rain is like water coming from the sky so they said...)
But the weekend after that we should go for a road trip before your car come.

I spent a year or so there at the old Army Language School. Beautiful place. I would love to take my C7 on the 17 mile drive, but I bet it isn't the same as it was back in the '60s. (free, then and unpatroled...)

Might be a couple of weekends before I'd have the time, but we'll sort something out.

You should have swung by Laguna Seca...Hooked on Driving was there all weekend and there were some nice Corvettes on track...plus Ferraris and McLaren's.

I need to get out more in general. We've gotten into way too much remodelling at home that most of my weekends are tied up in that. At least I got a four post lift put up as part of agreeing to help with the remodeling.

Beautiful city, got married at the aquarium there last fall. My wife picks up her stingray at the museum in April, and I get to tag along.
