[JERSEY JOE]

SO ARE YOU GOING TO SHOW YOUR FACE BOY?? LOL LOL LOL

[Dr.E]

Jersey Joe,
I live very near Brea. Will you be in Brea long enough to grab some lunch or something? Only asking because Thursday I am free until 3:00 and Fri I will be enduring some medical procedures and Saturday the 7th I'm not sure I'll be up for the drive to the beach.

[JERSEY JOE]

ABSOLUTELY. I WILL BE THERE ALL DAY ON THURSDAY. WHEN I LAND THERE I'LL TOUCH BASE. MEANTIME I CAN PM MY CELL NUMBER

[Dr.E]

Got it...my cell # pm'd to you.

[djongeward]

I think I can be there. I'll be in Costa Mesa around that time and the wag is mobile.

[JERSEY JOE]

WHAT TIME ARE WE MEETING AT BLACKIES????????

[PlasticBoob]

I suggested 2pm, no one objected. :)

[JERSEY JOE]

OK then I'll be there around 2:00.

[Artisan]

Regretfully I couldn't pull 6 hours out to come say hello. I DID try to call Blackies and I DID talk to the barkeep and I DID try to get him to take a credit card and buy everyone a draft on me but I was told "WE TAKE CASH ONLY" and I hung up on the prick. I hope all was good.

[PlasticBoob]

Haha, thanks Artisan, that's understandable. Only a couple of us showed up. I didn't take any pics because the lot was so full we couldn't get the vehicles next to each other.

Jersey Joe is a really cool guy, and I had a good time just shooting the bull. Hope you enjoyed California Joe! :thumbsup:

[HeavyIron]

Yep,
It was a pleasure meeting you Joe. Hope you have a safe journey home and maybe you can drag some of the weather home with you :cool: Yeah the parking lot was full but there were some other cool cars as well along with a few other interesting sights too:D
Let me know thee next time you're in the area and we'll grab another brew :)

[Artisan]

Poor ol Joe, by now he is pawkin his caa fo a quatra and freezin' his New Yawk accent off back east wishin' he was back here cruzin a ragtop in the So Cal sun :p . Hey Joe, we usually BBQ for new years. Yep, no rust on the Jeeps here either! :D

I was lucky and Joe was able to stop by and look at my project for I could not go to Newport, he11 I even worked a job Sunday morning. Joe remember to get me the name of the roll bar do-dads you spoke of and again, thanx for stopping by... :thumbsup:

[djongeward]

Crap, I missed it. Wife felt it more important to take the little one to Disney Land for his free b-day pass. I got to stay home with the rest of the sweathogs at the ranch. Just as well, my Y pipe is sounding like a tractor. Sure to pull a fixit ticket from the Newport popo's. :o
