Since I got those injections....much, much better.  Not perfect but a hell of a lot better than when I sold my SESG. You....how are you doing with your back issues?

There's nothing better...   :2vrolijk_21:

Maybe my last post above was a bit premature.  With the rain we've had here in the past week, the floods, etc. much more like Nor Cal.  :nervous:

It's been on the national news so I'm sure you've all heard about the flooding here in San Diego.  Guys paddle boarding down the streets, etc.  The street in front of where I work was flooded to the point that the police shut it down.  Cars were stalled in flooded streets all over San Diego.    This video was taken not far from where I'm at.....   http://www.amazon.com/Gorilla-Supply-Technology-Patented-Dispenser/dp/B00TFYT02G/ref=zg_bs_3052413011_5

We have a six story parking garage here.  The ground floor has a 35' drain well below the ground floor.  The drain pumps quit working so I had to call the installers out.  They went to cover it back up with a lid that weighs several hundred pounds and dropped the lid down in the well.

Yep, you're right.  How many people looked at that other link and didn't say anything about it.  :huepfenlol2: :huepfenlol2:

Here's the correct video from the Lambo driving through the San Diego flood last week.....

Cars were stalled/flooded all over San Diego.....San Diego River overflowed it's banks and flooded the parking lots of Fashion Valley Mall, etc.  San Diego usually doesn't get 6" of rain in a year and we got more than 6" over a five day period.  It was pretty ugly for a few days.  Go to Youtube and search "San Diego flood".....there's a bunch of videos.

He lives!  Actually, there have been a few of these snakes found up and down the coast. They say it is because of El Nino.

Good thing he didn't stop  :nervous:     Up this way we have guys that take their Lambo's out up in the hills and see how they do on gravel roads.     :o    Here's a video taken a few miles past our place where the pavement end.  And here I thought it was only deer I needed to watch for  ;D

The flip side of cars being stranded in flooded intersections all over San Diego is record breaking temps.....90F several days this week.  Sat. Andy, Ernie, Alan, Miguel and I rode De Luz Rd. and then over to Lake Henshaw and the Hideout Saloon.

Valentine's Day 2016....we hoped on AmTrack and rode it up to Oceanside.





 It was a short, quick ride of an hour up the coast.  We went out on the Oceanside municipal pier......













This little guy is sportin some designer boots......






And now I know where those youngsters get those wild hair colors and styles from.......





We ended Valentine's Day with the train ride back to San Diego and dinner at Ruth Chris Steakhouse.  Babe.....would you accept this rose?

I rode over to Coronado yesterday and parked at The Landing and took the ferry over to the Convention Center.  Yesterday was the 3rd day of International ComiCon.

Just missed this one.....guess we'll have to wait for the next one....15 minutes.

I lived in Coronado for a little over two years and never saw this kind of fog (marine layer....burns off by mid day) in San Diego bay...

ComiCon is one of the largest conventions in the nation.  Many of the attendees dress up in the costume of their favorite movie or show.  You can view some of the first few pages of this thread, from last year's ComiCon.  Some of those costumes are incredable!






Again, many of the hotels along the water front are wrapped by the studios to promote what ever movie or new series that they're trying to promote.  Some of these wraps are many, many stories high and are all removed within four days.
