Last Day

Stuck eating McDonalds. The BBQ place had a 20min wait. But now I'm
waiting atleast 20 mins for my connection flight to Moline. Something
er other about crew members flights being delayed, delaying the flight
docked in our gate, meanin we can't dock and load. Sigh.

Last Day

DFW here I am. Taxing around the place takes 12 minutes. Is that
pathetic. I thought these things could fly, and here we are rolling
around at ghetto block cruiser limp speed. Sigh. Only one flight
left... To the Mo-line.

Last Day

First leg of the homeward flight is on time. It's the fastest I've
ever made it through TSA. By far. No inspections. No bullshit. Maybe
I'm off the black list!?!?!? DFW here we go.

Last day

5:00 am and I'm ridin the gray goose back to the airport. I really
don't want to leave. It's about 50 degrees here. I'm heading into 3
degrees as a high with 4 inches of fresh snow since I left. Thanks Iowa.

Day 4 -- Part 4

Dinner, with car valleted, was at a brazillian steakhouse. Meat is
all you can eat, brought to your table and carved off every 3 mins or
so. 16 different meats to pick. Soooooo good. I'm glad I didn't eat
all day. The bill? Eesh. 3 people with one mixed drink each was 225
bones. Ouch. I spend less on groceries per MONTH in Iowa. Sooo
good. Zo got caught dancing with the breasty belly dancer. I got
pulled up later. Good times. Good mojito. Great meat. Then we hit
up the Hyatt. It's 40 stories tall, highest in San Diego, and has a
bar at the top with a view to kill for over the harbor. Drinks and
stories. What a way to end the trip. 4 am wake up call hurt after
this!

Day 4 -- Part 3

One last shot of my hotel courtyard at dusk. Then on my way to change
and head out for one last night!

Day 4 -- Part 2

Drove down to the border. Couldn't cross. No passport. So I saw
thebazaar on the American side and the two massive outlet malls. The
bazaar is straight out of Mexico. Kids walking a chiuaua in the
street. Knock off designer shit. Worth the drive. Stopped to see
Lo's restaraunt on the way up. Also drove in the country through
horse ranch territory.

Day 5-- part 1

Started out the day at the Kobye Swap meet. Or aka. San diegos
largest roving trash dump errrr garage sale. Admission was 50 cents.
Found some stuff. Like a donkey party. Too bad the one I wanted to
see only plays in Mexico.

Day 4 -- Part 4

Ended the day conquesting a Robertos Taco shack. Damn. Carnitas
burrito was godly. What an awful place to live. Beach. Sun. Tacos.
Mercedes. Silicone boobies on size 3 girls. Just awful.

Day 4 -- Part 3.

Heading back to Diego, I rolled out through a mall. Found an Slk 350.
Nice ride. Lots of nice cars here. Porsche is doing verrrrry well in
this market !

Day 4 -- Part 2.5

Also the Point served as a costal gun emplacement for the Army during
ww2. 16 inch guns and 5 bags of powder lobbed shells 25 miles with
seconds of accuracy. Not minutes. Assloads of trig with 30 second
marks gets you that kind of accuracy in 1943. Ofcourse I thought I'd
play with powder bags.

Day 4 -- Part 2

After Lo had to work, I drove out to Point Loma to sit and write on
the beach, then drove up through the naval base to Cabrillo monument.
Named for a Spanish explorer around 1530, the point is now a park with
some 200 year old light house. Stunning views. Really.

Day 4 -- Part 1.5

Here is the head of the pier -- panorama style.

Day 4 -- Part 1

Started out early today from Lo and Zo's made the three block walk to
the beach. Beautiful. Walked the path up and down took Crystal Pier
out over the water. It's about 200 to 300 yards out from the shore
with rentable cabins on the pier. 500 bucks or more per night 3 night
minimum, 6 to 12 months advance. Had huge breakfast burritos and
potatoes at Konos on the pier. This is how I ate breakfast.

Day 2 -- Part something

Long day. I'm getting sick. Feels like strep. Sigh. Say the Seaport
Village, scored a new hat, saw the USS Midway carrier. 18 dollars
admission got to me. Then hit a cigar bar before a fantastic dinner
at an Italian place. Then I paid my 36 dollar parking ramp fee. But
not before some homeless bum on a bike asked me for money then lifted
his shirt to show me a tumor the size of a cantalope. God why does
this happen to me? Calling it a night!

Day 3 -- Part 1

Starting out early today. Expecting lots of sight seeing. At the
waffle spot. Lo can't handle the penis looking sausage cartoon
characters. " giggles I wanna take a pic of the bangers next to the
sausage. Giggles"

Day 2 -- Part 3

Ended up driving back down the coast in the rain. All the locals
freak out in the rain. Tons of fun. Met up with Zo and Lo and hit up
Casa Brava for some excellent tapas and sangria. Had snail and lamb
plus some awesome patatas. Nice place. Then hit Karl Strauss for San
Diego home made brews and food. Good night!

Day 2 -- Part 2

So I'm walking up the beach and a blonde with a dog stops to talk to
me. Nothing interesting except she mentions there is a sea lion on
the beach farther down. So there I go and here it is.

Day 2--Part 1

Got up late. Bummed around. Had a Jack in the Box super combo of a
burger fries and two tacos with drink...3.25 plus tax. Walked it off
at two missions and watching the surf roll in Oceanside. Damn life is
hard out here!

Day 1 -- Part 4

Ending the day at the worlds most awesome store. Frys. Not only is
it all electronics, in better depth and breadth than a Best Buy, but
it's also bigger. All sorts of random PC preiphrials on the cheap.
And. They sell porn. Not that wannabe Playboy stuff the mall has.
But real porn. Here's proof. Awesomeness. This was followed by a
run through Taco Surf. Awesome food. Goooooooodnightnow!!!!

Day 1 -- Part 3

Throwing down on some Hodads in so cal. I'm about a block off the
ocean. Eat me. Eaaaaat me!!!

Day 1 -- Part 2

Arrival at Chicago was on time. Now the sit around and wait time
frame. Was just offered 300 dollars in vouchers to take a later
flight by the airlines. I think I'll see how despatate they are. If
the offer doubles, I'll take it! Also the larger planes now offer Go-
go wifi. Interesting!

Day 1 -- Part 1

After another lovely frisk and bitch session from TSA I'm now casually
awaiting boarding. I'm sure this is monitored. I'll be back later
from ORD.
