San Maghetto

San Mateo

We start off with pictures from the most recent evets and end with pictures of the "old days." Enjoy and come to the next one, you might find yourself here!

One very sunny Sunday I decided to have a BBQ/Picture day. So I called everyone to come head over to my house and help bring food to cook on my itty-bitty smokey-joe. Scott stepped up to the plate and cooked for me, since I can't BBQ to well. The BBQ was great, no one went hungry and not too much food was gone to waste.
Just before it started to get dark we headed over to the open school yard across the street to take pictures of all our cars

together...this is a very hard thing to do since so often so many of our cars aren't running. We did plan it well and there was a good 10 car count, not bad. We then headed out to a special road to see who was the fastest of the group...I held to my retirement and just made sure no traffic was around.
After we determined that Kevin was still the fastest even with his old motor (known as the loaner motor when in my car) we headed to BK for some dinner...much time had passed...

...I skipped some details, it was dinner time. We took the BK to go and went to eat in one of the hidden parks in San Mateo. We then proceeded to compete in swing contests, arm wresting, foot racing, and even jumping over very tall objects contests. All on video for incriminating evidence later on.
I'm not sure if Burger King food & cookies (yum!) are a good source of fuel to compete in the ever challenging series of competitions we put our selves

Party? And not at my house??? SURE I'll go. Alex had a little get together at his house to celebrate his youth. A picture of Rob and I out side on his back pattio. Before the hot tub but after the bottle of resolve went into action on the living room rug. Alex has everything a drunken fest should, good times, good company and good cleaning solutions!!!

And then there's New Years. Usually the most over anticipated, over dramatised party of the year. There's too much pressure to "have a great time" on New Years. So I decided a bar in SF so we could walk out and watch the fireworks after and some close friends.
Jen Law came down from San Rafael to join in on the festivities. I don't know about her but I sure enjoyed myself, you can tell by my intoxicated 'over-smile' in the picture to the right.
Anyone want some gum?

A pic of Rob and I after the fireworks on the Embarcadero. I think everyone was drunk and it made for a tuff trip back home on bart. Not quite as bad as Halloween. Large quantities of people, large amounts of alcohol and one train every 15min when people need to pee, puke and all around be in their own home...not good.

through. I'm suprised that none of us got sick or a cramp or too. Thinking back, that should have been my excuse as to why I went out in the first round of our arm wrestling match!!!
Our very long Suday came to a close as we left the park, but we will re-live it a few days later as we get together for a 'video re-cap' of what in the world we were thinking that Sunday afternoon?

My Pit Crew and I at one of the Las Vegas races. We're posing on the rental truck after a hard day's tow. We un-hitch the Camaro, leave it in the hotel parking lot on the trailer and head to 'the strip' to have some fun in sin city, Las Vegas.
We mostly check out the hotels (3 a night) since none of us are big gamblers or huge drinkers.

We all met up on the east bay for some pizza fun! If you're 10 years or younger you're given a piece of paper that's the exact size of the menu. Then you can draw on it, some how adding DeVino's Pizza (name of the restaraunt) to the drawing. Then they place your drawing in the plastic slot for it to be the cover of the menu. We had some entries from our 'kids' while we waited for our party of 18 to be served, our 7 orders of pizza and drinks.
One of the waitresses was hit on, in a group of 16 men, your bound to have someone try to hit on you as your just doing your job.
