Bronco started with a 289, went to the 302 in '71, I think.

Santa Fe Recs
Yes Chaco is better...but it's a hell of a lot more difficult to access. Long (13, 20, or 33 miles, depends which way you go) bumpy rough dirt road. No walk in the park. It's really nice to be able to spend the night there.

Santa Fe Recs
This ^^^^^^ We stopped here on our way back to our rental in SF one night. Maybe the best food we had in our week in Santa Fe. Drove back for dinner the next night.

Bourbon
Yup, we ride our bikes to Lucky Baldwins so we don't have to deal with the lovely Sierra Madre's finest on the way home. Problem with Lucky's is they have so much heavy beer, it's more of a Fall/Winter thing for us. Kind of tough drinking a Belgian triple when it's 90 plus degrees out. Total Wine charged $56.95, minus the $10 coupon for the new store opening. Came home, got the wife, dove into my neighbors recycling for her $10 coupon (this should probably be in the "cheap" forum)(it was trash day) and went back and got another bottle. Blanton's is my fave. I was up in Folsom dealing with my mom's estate and the little market had a full shelf of it, and didn't bat an eye when I bought 10.

NYAG Eric Schneiderman accused by four women of physical abuse.
Given how much of a threat Schneiderman is to Trumps presidency, I find the timing of these charges interesting...

Yeah, I go to Mission. Bought 4 bottles of Blanton's at $ 85 per, I think. Supply and demand, I understand it. It tastes a little better at $ 56.95, though. There's a small liquor store In East LA where I buy my Cuervo La Familia for $99, I've never looked at their bourbon prices. I live in Sierra Madre.

Total Wine opened near me, too. Asked if they had any Blanton's, there was none on the shelf....Oh yeah, we've got 6 cases in back. They would only sell me a bottle, but I wonder what else is "in Back"?

Bring your booze. Some of the Costcos have zero alcohol. Nine mile canyon has a lot of Native American art.

Best Round of Golf
I've played the game 3 times. One was Spyglass. Another was a par 3 in South Pasadena. Smoking and drinking, we both teed off. Spent about a 1/2 looking for my ball. Partner got impatient and putted in...there was my ball in the cup.

Flycraft rafts
I have a 12 1/2' Avon. I move my toolbox back to the tailgate, and put the raft on that and the cab. Strap from the front bumper to the nose ring, I can drive 70 easy.

What was your first concert and how old were you...
Led Zepplin, May 3, 1969 Rose Palace, Pasadena I was 15. The Rose Palace is a large corrugated steel building where they (still) build floats for the Rose Parade. Tickets were $3.50. Elvin Bishop and 'Brian Auger, Julie Driscoll and the Trinity' were the opening acts. When Jimmy Paige whipped out his violin bow on his guitar on 'How Many More Times?' the place went wild. Pretty fricking amazing first concert.

Crazy stuff you've seen at concerts
Wow, y'all are a bit older than I thought.... Grateful Dead, sometimes in the 70's @ Kesar Stadium in San Francisco. Kesar is an old concrete bowl of a football stadium where the 49's played in the 50's and 60"s. Brother lived in rural Orange County, in a house surrounded by orange groves. My roomie was a semi-pro baseball player. When the dead took their usual 30 minute break, we opened the two gunny sacks of oranges we had brought from the groves , and my roomie began to distribute them, with pinpoint accuracy, throwing to people all around the stadium....even to folks waving their arms at the very top of the rim. The wind swirled a bunch at Kesar, so his accuracy and delivery was something to see. Within 10 minutes or so, the oranges were gone. Soon, we were the recipients of all kinds of "goodies" passed to us by appreciative folk - I mean a lot. Wouldn't all fit into a large baggie. Oh... the night before the concert, we stayed in the Stanford dorm of one of my brothers high school buds. Said bud opened a bedroom door and told me that's where I'd be sleeping , and given the fact that we were drinking Mickey's big mouths and Cuervo Gold all the way from LA, I got right to it. Sometime later a beautiful blond slide into bed with me, and fun things happened.
