After traveling to Boston for business, last week, I found myself leaving the house around 4:30am, this past Sunday, to catch a flight to Sacramento. I spent the first of the week in Yountville (Napa Valley), and then back to Sacramento Wednesday evening. Being only an hour or so away from Ted, we made arrangements for me to meet him at his place up in the foothills. After a nice drive (for California) I found myself winding up the well manicured drive to Ted's estate. ;-) I was greeted by my friend and was quickly given the tour of his awesome place, with all of it's mechanical greatness (gearhead stuff). We found our way to his incredible wraparound porch and stoked ourselves a bowl of Peretti's #8, followed up by a wonderful cigar. The conversation was great, the fellowship even better. Thanks for your hospitality brutha. cheers dino

Dino did all the traveling I have been getting up at 4:10 in the morning to get ready and drive the crew truck "crummy" up to Alta Ca to work 3 hours a day travel plus 9 hours work and when I get back got to fuel everything for the next day plus grease tubes motor oil coolant and anything else we use. Barley made it home took a shower and Dino arrived 5 min later. Had a great visit bowl of Peretti's #8 and I good cigar. Engine's and watches among other topics of interest. I was happy to find I enjoyed #8 since I have a 8oz tin in the cellar. This visit was made possible as Dino is an excellent traveler.
