So, last night @elpacmangringo came down and striped my "Chopperdaves Pick" trophy for the Mooneyes HRCS next weekend. Always amazes me. So I ask "How the hell do you do that?" His answer: "I save all my patience for painting..." so rad. #pinstriping #family #lovethemcanns

For anyone not in so cal who has read any of the "biker" books from the 60's that always seem to refer to "ice plant". As in: "the rival club member forced him off the freeway into the ice plant". THIS is ice plant! #botany #bikerhistory

Thank you Veterans! Joseph Dreher, Jr., gives a thumbs-up to a crew member of Sentimental Journey, a B-17 vintage bomber. During the war Dreher, now 88, was a radio operator/waist gunner who flew 29 missions over Europe on a B-17 with the U.S. 8th Army Air Forces. He was shot down on his 29th mission and captured after parachuting from his flak-damaged aircraft. Thank you sir! #honored #everyoneinthearmedforcesdeseevesourthanks

Today is Veteran's Day. It's not about the government or any particular persons political ideology. It's about the people who fought and died fighting for the belief in the greater good. If you see a Vet today, thank him or her. #america #ww1 #ww2 #koreanwar #vietnam #desertstorm #anyonewhoisinthemilitarynow

Thank you to everyone who joined us last night. I wish we could thank everyone here individually but I'd be here for days.
