That sure as hell sounds a lot better than my measly "Guys Night Out" BBQ down in Los Banos! Hope you have a great weekend!

Round one down ..... what an awesome dinner at Il Fornio, lot's of wine was flowing. Top two for the night were the 2000 Dehlinger Octagon Pinot Noir and the 1997 Sterling Vineyards Three Palms Merlot. The Merlot was awesome and still had a lot of life left to it, it was amazing how the Pinot and the Merlot had a similar weight and feel to them.

Anyways, off to the Eagle Court of Honor then to a beer bar in SF that specializes in Belgium beers. There's also a restaurant next door that specializes in sausage's that we're going to hit for dinner before the art exhibits, should be another fun filled evening.

Hope you guys are having a great weekend as well!

WOOHOO!! still standing and ready for another day of fun.

Yesterday was the Eagle Court Of Honor for a young man that I had as a Scout at the age of 5! When I went up to congratulate him he looks down at me and say's "Hey Mr. Sanchez, I remember you being a lot taller" ..... punk kids :laugh: . Fun time and had a chance to catch up on old times with a few old friends.

The beer bar we visited was the Toronado in the Lower Haight of San Francisco, WOW! what a selection of beer. Something in the neighborhood of 40-50 beers on tap, we tried quite a few different beers, Damnation, Chamay triple something, Guiness, a Trapist something or another. LOL ..... I'll need to write them all down next time. Right next door to the Toronado was the Rosamunde Sausage Grill where we had a chicken/fig and smoked chicken/cherries and chicken/jalepeno/tequila sausage sandwiches. Went great with the beers.

The shows were pretty damn cool, with some very interesting people in attendance :whistling: . We finally met Josh Agle and his bother Pete who runs the business end. We had the opportunity to chat with Pete for quite a while and learned a lot about the artist and our original.

Here's a picture of us with Shag!

Off to the winery for an afternooon of wine, food, friends and cigars!
