weekend in Temecula

Friday p.m., we took Rick & Shea to the L.B. Airport for their weekend Seattle adventure. They are to return Sunday p.m., after 9. Rest tonight, big day tomorrow.

On Sat. a.m., about 9:30, we left L.B. for Lanie's weekend in Temecula, coincidentally, the same place where they live. When we got there, instead of going directly to the ranch, we went to the Pechanga Casino for bkfst. Big mistake. Too much food - all u can eat in my case - not enough time before the bbq when I'll eat all over again. The casino wasn't overwhelming, but big and colorful, hardly overused, many a parking place in place, food was okay, not great, attractive bldg. and setting.

Not too hot, not too cold, not too humid, not too perfect. The day was fine, about 30 folks were there, some from last time, one family who came in from Texas for the event, many from Hemet and Mentone - nice couple, Jim Wheaton, I believe, a believer in the conspiracy of Cheney et al, as the Twin Tower perps, gave me a DVD all about this. His Mexican wife Petra was nice, I took her on a go-cart ride, then took Sylvia, got pretty good at that. That was the event of the day...last time it was swimming. Also, James, David, Daniel and oen of Phil's granddaughters gave a recital.

Relatively easy drive, about 80 mi. one way, traffic flow was in our favor, heaving coming in as we went out, opposite when we came back along the 91 between the 55 and Corona.

Today, I bought about 15 45s, 10 Lps for $40, got some interesting sides and a few duds. Bob Taylor on Yucca, Glenn Glenn on Era, several Jimmy Reed LPs, stereo Fats Domino. Guy I bought them from played with Glenn and Ricky Nelson in his early & latter years!!! I think. He
also knows about my Internet radio shows. Somebody's listening!!

This week, I've got a few juicy stories lined up, we'll see where they take me and mine.

Sylvia picked up Shea & Rick at the airport at about 10, everything went fine. To bed.
