Glad you're having a great trip....weather has been beautiful. It's a redemption for our wintervgreyness. Last winter was unseasonably cold....eight days below 30 degrees, at the beach. A lot of us lost our oysters due to the freeze.

Space Needle just opened a new elevator.... two story, all glass that was part of the original design but didn't get built due to cost. A private party sponsored the build, it has reduced the wait times significantly.

Not true... It's listed on the Directv guide as "WEC endurance racing", all 24 hours of it. Also, the WEC race @ CoTA will be shown on Motor Trend TV live.

Laguna Seca was nice, beautiful weather, great restaurants. One of The JDC mechanics took our group of four into the garage and spent an hour explaining the intricacies of the 962...it was an amazing, insightful experience that really made the weekend. Thanks, Jeremy!
Oh, I'm pretty sure that Le Mans in on Motor Trend TV.

We do know how Austrians can be when they get out of control.
But, I think Helmut did win overall at LeMans in a 917. So he did drive, and apparently very well.
1971 with Gijs van Lennap. 13 cars finished. My first Le Mans.

Massive, massive party school...seriously. Not uncommon to get too F'dup and fall off the bluff down to the beach below. And the others around you are to phased to notice. Seriously.

the lack of restaurants right there in PG doesn't bother us, access to the trail however is bad ass. we will drive from Texas and we will bring bikes and ride them daily if I have my way.
We often stay in SW Pacific Grove , across from Asilomar.....it's about 1/2 mile from the entrance to 17 mile drive. I've biked in a lot of nice places, but nothing really compares to biking the 17 mile drive.

Sounds like you have shitty knives, which is absolutely fine, but if you are using even like twenty five dollar knives you throw in the dishwasher on glass boards or shitty plastic ones you are doing it wrong.
Interesting how you can ascertain the quality of my knives based on my comment regarding the price of a cutting board. Talk about doing it wrong.

The big Skykorsky chopper holds 3,000 gallons of water.
Following this fire I learned about 69 Bravo, a LAFD helispot. This is at the top of Topanga canyon off of Saddlepeak. It has four water tanks that are supplied by a well that the choppers fill up at while airborn, either by dipping their buckets or sucking with hoses. Has bluetooth actuated sprinklers to keep the dust down while the choppers hover. Also two separate fueling pads. They also have 24 hour cameras, so you can watch the birds come and go, watch the fire, or on more simple days, just enjoy the beautiful views from the top of the Santa Monica mountains.

When I was younger, this kind of declaratory statement used to really aggravate me. It still does, but not as much as it used to as I came to realize that the majority of people making these kinds of statements are either intellectually deficient or misinformed. Or both. So I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you are simply misinformed.
Every department/agency has what is called a PIO (Public Information Officer). He or she has been designated as the mouthpiece for the agency when high visibility incidents occur in that agency’s jurisdiction.Not intellectually deficient, nor misinformed. This was not a PIO, it was the actual fire chief of the city of Los Angeles. The same fire chief who wrote a letter to the mayor a couple of months ago expressing how the budget cuts to the fire department would impact the ability of the fire department to respond to wildfires. Said fire chief was on the local news yesterday, and when the anchor asked if the cuts affected their response, the chief hesitantly applied in the affirmative.

Moved out of Sierra Madre 4 years ago to the great PNW. This is pretty crazy...Altadena (sbbruin's home town) is destroyed. Watched the middle school burn to the ground on TV while the building was surrounded by fire trucks....couldn't see a soul fighting the fire. There were no fire trucks to be seen in Sierra Madre as the fire roared in the foothills above town....the numbers of lost homes there was small, given the situation. Seems like the 'first responders' are more interested in holding press conferences and spewing excuses than anything else. Fire Chief said " hydrants aren't designed for wild fires, just single building fires". Insurance companies have only begun dropping policies in California. Initially it was just the rurals, but now they can go after the metro areas. Pacific Palisades was one on the wealthier communities in socal, now it's dust. A whole lot for of Malibu and Topanga has burned that hasn't bee mentioned by the media. Mandeville and Brentwood are next.

When they get buried down in the grass they don't want to come out especially if the weather is bad. One time it had just snowed a dusting and I was hunting the edge of a corn field and CRP area. I saw some tracks lead into the CRP and followed them about 20 yards until they ended...Nothing, followed them back again and ended up in the same place. The dog didn't pick up anything and was milling around a different area.
After about 30 seconds of pondering where the bird could be I decided to take a piss and the second I pulled my zipper down a bird flew up from about 1ft away and almost knocked my hat off with it's wings. I missed that one out of shock as well.....
Yeah, they'll do that. I've had at least two bust out when I've stopped to piss - already opened the O/U and laid it down, so just watched them fly away holding my DIH.
