OK haven't done a blog for the longest time and think it's due time.. reason i haven't blogged in over two long years ... well just not taking the time to continue it for one reason or another.. work constraints and such have also been contributing factors ( i work a lot of hours and don't really have to much free time is what i am trying to say). Anyway was invited to a graduation in the Bay area (meaning San Francisco area) .. and had a great 4 day weekend. Started out on Friday Morning ventured up the dreaded grapevine , the grapevine is a large mountain you have to go over to get out of the big city of Los Angeles.. As i was driving up the hill saw a brush fire which slowed me down a bit with traffic and also made me a little worrisome .Worried basically they were going to shut down the 5 going North and i was going to sit in the hot sun in my high mileage car and overheat or something...Don't want to be in a hot van in the middle of city of Gorman in mid- June .. that's for sure...
