We’re here!
We met at the Bianchi Winery in Paso Robles and got the non-tourist guided tour. Some of us pretended to not know you’re supposed to spit the wine out after tasting.
Mike and I headed back to Hwy 1 for he run up the coast and Jeff and Darin did some more wine tasting and were a half an hour behind us.
We had lunch in Cambria and then had 90 miles of mostly twisty roads. The novelty wore off for Mike after we got stuck behind a line of slowpokes with no way to pass.
Why isn’t the ocean this calm when I do this trip by boat?
Jeff pissed off some guy in a truck and was having everything but the kitchen sink thrown at him, Darin lost his AC and had one no-start episode at the winery and I lost half my gauges (my favorite half) about five miles from Pacific Grove otherwise we made it with no issues. 505 miles and 5/10ths from my garage to this garage.
Carl Nelson and the Gang from La Jolla Independent are on the next street over from us so we invited ourselves over for dinner at their place last night and drank too much and stayed up passed our bedtime.
My bedroom window looks out over Carl's wife's car.
This morning Darin went to have his AC checked and Mike went to a garage with a hoist to clean the underside of his car. Jeff and I went for breakfast.
We spent the day cleaning and detailing the cars.
All the cars cleaned and scrubbed tucked away for the night.

Tonight we’re returning the favor and having Carl Nelson and his gang over for drinks and dinner. I think it’s going to be a much earlier night for everyone though.
