Default Heading to LA area

I'm headin West, and have Friday free from mid-morning on. I'll be East of LA staying in Ontario. Any shark owners out there or nearby? I am thinking of driving over to 928 International for a visit, and to Greg's shop too - how bad of a commute is that?

Welcome to the Inland Empire!

The ride from Ontario to Anaheim will be easy. Going back on a Friday afternoon is typically an exercise in patience. Plan your visit for early, or arrange for dinner and entertainment so you can go back after the rush hour grand-prix.

We are 35 miles or about three friday-afternoon commute-time hours from Anaheim. Usually, if I can get down there for a late lunch, it's easier coming back west.

Let's see who else is available from the area. Maybe a visit/dine event is appropriate for Friday near 928 international.

That would be awesome Dr Bob! would love to dine with the gang and see some of these sharks that I read so much about.

it's looking like a later time for me, as I now have an 11 am (PT) conference call scheduled. I hope to be at 928 Intl around 2 or so.

2pm in Anaheim works fine for me. Rob has floating duty hours so let's get his schedule too. Tino, and any others, you are welcome to join in of course. The more the merrier!

Blakes is extremely high-brow sandwich dining across the street from 928 International. They cater the barbeque lunch at the annual Sharktoberfest events, and do a great job. Weather should be winter-cold for the area that day, in the high 70's at lunch time I predict, so dining al fresco is an option.

We'll plan for a 2pm gathering if all agree. I'll PM my contact info to scheduled participants. I'll be the white-haired guy...
