Title: Fleeing the country this weekend... (but I'm coming right back!)
Post by: squirtthecat on April 09, 2010, 07:29:35 PM
We are flying down to Mazatlan, MX for a week. There won't be any smoking (all 'Mexican Oregano' gags aside) for a while.  
I am taking a box of 'Slice & Spice Salami' mix..

Time for some R&R.   And a nice view from MrsSTC's Uncle's condo:

STC, I drove to Mazatlan from where I live back in hmmmm,

Many Moons ago.

We drove to Monterey.

Had a great time.

I'm sure it is quite different from my ancient times.

Always wanted to go back.

Have fun, and Don't Drink The Water.

;D

No worries...    Pacifico is cheaper than the bottled water.   :D

The shrimp are awesome:

Nothing better than Fresh Gulf Shrimp!

Got some yesterday (20 lbs) and they are 12/14's.

Just awesome.

Don't be like me and forget to pull the vein on that shrimp. Tastes a lot better that way.  ;D

Rest and relax down there...
You have WORK to do when you get back (with flagged toothpicks and spreadsheets)...

Wish I was there.    After some nice spring weather and all the snow melted we had a winter storm move in yesterday.   High winds, cold, and lots of snow.   Everything is all white.   So much for my weekend plans for the weekend :(

Have a good time squirt.  Get a little sun.  Bake up some Spice-n-Slice; good stuff.  Bring home a few shrimp for the cats  ;)  See ya next week.

Thanks - looking forward to it.   Had a little mishap in St Louis.  Was coming off of the freeway and lost all but a few percent of the brake system in MILs car.   One of the lines burst.   It's driveable - the right side brakes kinda work - but it will be a slow/careful drive home.

We crept to a nearby church after it happened, and I came out to find a small 'red' puddle behind the driver's side rear door.   I think the line cracked and burst.

Anyway - it's parked for the week.

Watch it when you get back to that car. Check the brake fluid cause you might be completely out by the time you get to it. Have a good vacation.

Good plan...   There is a gas station right down from the hotel in case I need some more.  (should have bought some tonight when I was there picking up some cold beer >:()
