That looks fantastic! Is that Armando's new restaurant? Sounds like a great location!

I suggest you take the misses, or girlfriend, to 'Cafe M' in the Hoity-Toity indutrial district of Berkeley right off University. My Acid Test for restaurants that make it, Eggs Benedict, best I ever ate that and their pancakes... yea no kidding.

^ we will have that with us.
Mooty doesn't mess around when it comes to his sugar.


sometimes I add coffee or milk to enhance the flavor of my brown sugar powder.

instead if red bull, chew on brown sugar cubes. try it.... red bull is for the weak...

Want to live? Then open a dealership in California somewhere - like Cerritos Auto Square though real estate may be tight. If you're willing to invest in a business in the states I'm sure they will be more than happy to give you a card if you can create jobs.

I qualify after the years of experience at the corporate level to move to Canada and get on the road to citizenship. Further, Canadian rules - they are more than happy to let others from outside the country and invent in infrastructure and create jobs! That's an even faster track for acceptance.

But, how did we get from "I wanna live" to switching citizenship? It's true most of California has 99% year round driver's day. Even in fog lit San Francisco.

For Mooty, you ever drive El Pable Damn Road between El Sobrante and Orinda? Just have to watch out for the odd deer from time to time. It's rumored that Walter Rohl owns a small home in Orinda. If you want seclusion and have Highways and mass transit nearby, B.A.R.T. to take you to both San Francisco and Oakland International Air Ports.

Hands down, best almond croissants EVER! The almond-chocoloate croissants are the best way ever to a diabetic coma.

u are right about canada, cousin is there doing what you said.
yes, i both ride and drive san pablo dam road. climb up cal stadium (remember i was for 10+ years "studying"... girls) centennial pass the garden and LBL, , on my way to inspiration point, burn some muscles up south park then double back down to san pablo dam road. yes, dears and blk ice..... then back up the same route home. it's more fun on bicycle than cars.

you can also do grizzly peak, fish ranch, old tunnel road...

If the guys from the BBC TV show 'Wheeler Dealers' were doing the same business in California they would be making 2 to 3 times the margins that they do on the show in Barmy ole England. The only think I don't like about when they add up the cost of rebuilding the car is the hours Edd China puts into each car and then coming up with a number for Labour! Sometimes I would think they are just breaking even with all the work Edd is doing. Will say Edd really knows his stuff and wouldn't no doubt that he carries the equivalent of an American ASE Master's Cert, or atleast it's equivalency.

Drewling on my keyboard.
You know how many of those I can put away? I miss Armando.
Lets pay him with free laps to close up shop and take the inventory to THill...

I might blackmail him with spin video footage...
