Camping in the rain SUCKS…… so Paulie, I totally don’t blame you if you decide not to go. Especially since there isn’t even a covered shelter to hang out under. I know there is that little house thing, but everyone can’t fit in there.

I only might make it to Black Rock for Saturday if the weather prediction holds up. I hate to waste $50 and further cement my reputation for skipping / leaving hash campouts early, but I really don’t enjoy sitting around in the rain when there are so many other things I need to do.

Sounds like fun, so jealous.

Do you think I can get a discount since I’ll only have 8 or 9 toe nails to paint?

Well I’m not going to make it to Black Rock, 1300 miles last week, in the car, was all I could take. Plus the weather doesn’t look great and my toe would make hiking pretty sucky…

We leave fairly early on friday morning – so we can get a half day in of tastings, then 2 full days on the weekend.
By Monday we will be ready to pub crawl & drink beers in San Fran.
Fly home Tuesday……… I used frequent flyer miles for this & decided a 5 hour direct flight deserved first class seats (plus, it is sort of, kind of Allan’s birthday trip) I can’t wait, it’s been forever since I’ve flown first class.

Pedicure……. I’m ready whenever your toes are up for it.

Also Barb, after spending the last 24 hours looking at my toe, I’ve realized I’m in desperate need of a pedi…of course that is also going to have to wait awhile but I’d be up for that in the next couple of weeks as well.

I know Paulie, it’s just I try to limit myself to one or two ‘unhealthy’ meals a week, so it takes awhile for places to move up in the rotation. I can’t believe you hadn’t been there, if I thought I knew of a place before you did I’d be telling everyone. I’ve been eating there for years. Before I starting working here I would always stop by there on the way home from any hash that ended at Robin’s.

and yes, English is a little scarce there…I’m never really sure I’m getting what I ordered but what’s the worse that can happen? I took Jerry there one day, since he sort of looks like he fits in

Barb it’s a date. Have a good trip, when are you leaving?

okay Martha – when I get back from CA next week, I’ll need to get my oil changed sometime soon – looks like we have a destination…….

It is Las Tortas Loca. You’ve been holding out on us, Martha! I never said it was healthy (what good Mexican food is?).

There is a laundromat at the end of that little set of stores. I “found” Las Tortas Loca the day I dropped my car off at Lam’s.

My coworker and I were the only non-Latinos in the place. Love it!

What’s the torta place? I like Las Tortas Locas, it’s not really ‘healthy’ but I may stop there in the next week when I get my oil changed. Just need to wait for it to stop raining and the toe to get better.

I tried to check out the website for Saskatoon but its blocked by the web nanny here at work.
