Anyone want to do a dinner on Saturday night somewhere. He has to drive up from the ferry, and he will be taking the slow roads. He'll most likely go up 17 to 10 and then over to 176 Street to Golden Ears. If not, then I'll take him to one of my dives! Hope pigs ears and chicken feet are his favourites.

He will be taking the 11 o'clock ferry and has to be at Hippy's by 4. I think I'll take him to the Shake and Shingle in Ruskin for dinner. If anyone wants to join us, I am guessing 6 would be good. Never been there myself, but I have some friends in Ruskin that say it's pretty good.

Hey anyone want my tires off my PT Cruiser. I changed the rims to 16" and still have the 17" tires. I think they still have good tread.

I could have sworn I posted this already.
Intercepted Mr. Lang after he stopped off at Hippy's and got him settled into his new digs. We rushed off to KMS. He is so jealous that we can buy parts so easily. Yeah, just walk in and open your wallet. Anyhow, since we were half way into Vancouver I took him into the bright lights and loud music of Vancouver for dinner. We will be at the meet about 9.
