Disneyland was great for the kids. The food generally sucks, crowds were annoying but tolerable, overall employee helpfulness and attitude was good... but seeing a cross-section of the human race made me want to move out of this country. 50% of the people are fat fucks who are continuously stuffing their faces and bumping in to you. I saw 1,000 kids who were already obese and their obese parents were simply encouraging them to eat and be worthless.
Stayed at the grand California which is nice, got the parkhopper and used the MaxPass... which allowed for a lot of line cutting. Glad to be home and not going back for 3-4 years

Just came back from my 3 state trip. Lets start with San Francisco. Walked over the bridge, went to Muir woods to check out the giant trees, visited Sausalito and did all the touristy things like Chinatown, pier 39, twin peaks, Coit tower, Alcatraz, a boat tour of the bay, rode the cable cars, etc. We packed a lot for just 3 days. SF is fucking expensive. Gas was 4 bucks for regular while here in Florida is 2.88. I talked to my Uber driver and dude pays 3500 for a shitty apartment. I guess he has to work 8 days a week to pay rent just doing Uber. But pretty cool city. Walkable like NYC, but fuck all those hills. Very active city. Lots of people jogging and riding bikes. The fat people i saw walking around were obviously tourist.

Man, what polar opposite places... must have felt ultra relaxing after spending time in the shithole known as sf. If you ever come this way again, give me a heads up and I will set you up on a 1 day /night trip to St Helena. I have a bunch of credit at the inn at south bridge that I will never use since it’s 30 minutes from my house. Cool spot for dining/wine tasting and it gets you out of sf for a day.
Interesting to hear about South Dakota... sounds like it should be a priority of mine to get there

Forgot about this one in Colorado! Got stuck in a hail storm. I thought for sure my windshield was going to break. Look at the size of those things. I pulled up under a tree and waited it out.

If you are in to the wine/food thing St. Helena/Calistoga/Napa can be fun for an adult getaway.

Ill give you plenty of notice. Btw, if you ever go to SD, let me know. This was my second time there. I did a lot of research to find off the beaten path drives that offer some of the best views. I also stayed in 3 separate hotels in diffetent areas. So i can offer some advice of where to stay depending on what you wanna' do.

In LA on a 6 hour layover from Laredo to home. Went on a 3 day fishing trip to Magdalena Bay Baja California. Very remote area, super poor, but the people were awesome and so welcoming. Ended up catching 24 tuna, 4 wahoo, a pole of snapper and a couple grouper. Also bought 70 pounds of scallops for $3 p/pound to bring home.
Best part of the trip was the old cook for the house who made some of the greatest Mexican influences food I have ever had. Ciopino, ceviche, and scallop tomales were unlike anything I have ever had. I would go again in a heartbeat...

Hahahaha. I am like 20 min from there, actually about to literally jump in my truck and head to a project I have going on less than a block from the east runway. Before la traffic starts up.
Hope it wasn't too bad of a layover, that airport kinda sucks.

Hope it wasn't too bad of a layover, that airport kinda sucks. Ate at Wolfgang pucks pizza place which wasn't half bad. If you like Asian girls, a 12 hour layover in LA is not a bad spot to be. Got home at 3:00 and had to be up at 5:00 for work, so I am not in the greatest of moods right now. Wife wants to talk about buying a piece of property when I get home, so fuck you LAX for making my Monday suck.

Fuck a layover. Direct flight or no flight. I usually go this route but the last time I did, my direct flight turned into a 24+ hour delay due to system malfunction bullshit. It was amazing to see how stingy and unaccommodating Delta Airlines was... I was actually impressed in a fucked up sort of way. I don't sleep well in public places like an airport so I stayed up all night and probably drank close to 100 ounces of cold brew coffee through the night. By the time I boarded, I was falling asleep on my feet trying to board. I am surprised they let me on the plane, I must have looked pretty fucked up.

I'll be at the Hooter's in Sacramento multiple times in the evening next week if anyone is interested in a free beer. The guy I travel with for work can't get enough of the quesadillas at Hooters.

I went to England for summer vacation and all I got was this shitty carjacking. That didn't look like a car jacking. Looked like the guy in the blue car almost ran over the guy in the bike. Cause when he got out of the car, the guy just went back to his bike but who carries a knife like that?! Probably cause guns aren't allowed lol

Verbal, where are you from? California. Spent most of my time in LA near Malibu. And then I lived up near Stockton California for a few years and from there I'd drive into Pittsburg California on the 4 to get to work every morning. California is really hurting right now though. Over 50 percent of the population is on welfare and the homeless epidemic is insane since the sanctuary state stuff went into effect. I lived in a really nice suburb but now even the burbs are crawling with drugged out hobos from South of the border. So I'm headed to Nevada for the lower population numbers and the lower property tax rates. Trading my mortgage payment in for a paid off piece of property in the mountains. I'll post pics when the escrow closes. But cavebear is also correct, I'm also from Bent Over McManville. I see cavebear over there at the local Wal-Mart every Sunday morning...

Just finished moving. Fuck LA. Now I got a mountain in my backyard, and I own the backside of it as well. Heard I gotta watch out for cougars when I go hiking though.
