    Guys, while it's nice having Craig here with us and he may be able to offer some professional suggestions if needed, please remember he has a business repairing and restoring exotics at his day job and this is the weekend, so let's be respectful of that. Otherwise, I am just as happy to hand the guy a wrench. ;) My guess is that some of the stuff he will see will make him gack. :D

    You won't need a blindfold after you get a taste of Plugzit's moonshine

    Hey, wait a second, that stuff is reserved for degreasing and paint removal. You can finish off whatever we don't use. ;)

    WOW. This idea of a So Cal Brothers Picnic is really getting exciting. A HUGE THANK YOU to CRAIG for offering his HOME, HOSPITALITY and FOOD to a group of misguided Ferrari lovers. You have to be misguided to own one.

    My Ferrari is at home in the garage all comfy and warm under its blanket. It went to Carmel Last month and is going to Vandenberg next week so its wanted to just relax. But I quoted Bruce when I told it from now on "I was gonna drive it like I stoll it"

    Anyways I will be there with three Pistacchio Nut Mousse Pies that I have made for dessert and hope to see everyone. I think this is going to be a hell of a lot of fun and I am really looking forward to the stories, maybe a few tall tales, the food, and most of all meeting some really nice people.

    Craig, didn't we tell you?! Hmm, where is that email message...

    No worries, yes it is at my place. Everything is in prepartion. Chopped peppers tonight, will do onions tomorrow. Meat is marinading - oops got to do the second batch now. IU have bottled water and some sodas, but counting on everyone to bring beverages.

    Should be great. T0day's weather was overcast but not cold. Pool is heated to 80 degrees anyway. We have a fireplace in case it gets chilly. Otherwise, looking for a great day.

    Been busy working on my car from this end, but I'll be with you all in spirit. What a great opportunity to meet members of the brotherhood. I really hope that there will be another chance to participate sometime in the future.

    Have fun gents,

    If we see a 747 fly over at 500 ft., should we assume it's you?
