Sunday 10AM

Don's House
1100 E Salt Lake St
Long Beach, Ca 90806

Doing a few mods to Tracy's and my car. Jam to Cisco's for breakfast right after.

Just a quickee..... Also great photo op at West Coast Choppers next door.

 

I need to see what all the excitement is about at Cisco's anyway.
West Coast Choppers. Is that Jesse James and the Monster Garage?

 

Yes Sir it is. Cisco's is just a burger joint but a good one. Jessie owns it as well, WCC will be closed but there are some cool gates to take shots by. As mentioned, a quick install and removal, then go eat. We all have stuff to do later that day.

 

Isn't the Long Beach Grand Prix on Sunday?

 

I was wondering about that too, Charles--if it will be a problem.

Mike, they have GREAT coffee and yummy breakfast and awesome burgers.
And some of my fav photos of Blackie were at Jesse's place next door.
Even Stubby has been there!

I'll be there.

 

I think so, usually is in the downtown area of LB. Far from my house and Cisco's.

 

Would it be better to take the 170 or just go the 405? Charles would probably know. But the 405 is more than likely out of his way. The 405 isn't too bad, it is just that bottleneck at the Getty. There are 2 other freeways merging there. At least it would be early morning traffic. I'd have to leave the house before 8:30 to get to Long Beach around 10-ish.
Oh, by the way, Wednesday morning driving home from work we had snow flurries up here. These 50 knot and better winds have been a pain, had to keep my SS in the garage. We had tumble weeds flying and rolling all over the place, not to mention the occasional metal panel from someones storage shed. But they say it will be in the 80's up here this weekend.

 

I think a straight shot down the 710 would be the best. Cisco is right off the 710. That is the way we came back from Ruby's. Coming back we took the 710-5-2-210.

 

Very cool Mike, long way to go for breakfast but will love to have you come down brother.

 

But, Google Earth and MS Virtual Earth are telling me it is a 1 1/2 hour drive. So, if I leave before 8:30 I should hope to get to Don's place by 10 if under ideal traffic conditions. As long as traffic is flowing at or near 70-80 mph, I should be there before 10. I haven't driven my SS since putting on the splash guards. There's been too much stuff flying through the air. What with sand, rain, snow, tumble weeds and other solid objects, I kept it in the garage.
I still haven't made up my mind on the rear wiper removal. I'm thinking of something to put in it's place. I was entertaining the idea of one of those cow-girl kickers that truckers have on their mud flaps, you know spline it onto the wiper motor shaft and turn on the wiper motor to have her put on a rock-ette like can-can show.
Or, stick some kind of reflector there over the hole with the motor removed.
Hmm, stage-one kit, 290 hp, maybe some day.
Angie, how is the tea at Cisco's, I don't drink coffee. It would be more of a brunch any way.
