Sedate Sunday


MrGrumpy had no real plans for today, he spend a while in the morning chatting with LittleMissNaughty before going out to collect his laundry. As he stepped outside he could feel it was going to be another hot day.

First thing, SoftTop down and shades on and off to collect the laundry.

When he got back LittleMissNaughty got him to call up some of the hotels (which did not have online booking) and reserve some rooms for their October (SanFran / Tahoe / Yosemite) vacation / road trip.

Mid afternoon and he was getting hungry, what to eat? well he needed gas (petrol) and there was a Taco Bell pretty much next door, to he had a plan, now all he had to do was choose what to order. 

He was surprised how cheap it was at Taco Bell. Chicken Burrito, Soft Taco and a Frozen Strawberry Lemonade and it was $3.50 (just over £2.00). 
After a quick fill up for MrGrumpy it was time for the Mustang (a bit more expensive, 13.65 US Gallons @ $3.94 = $54).

He did not want to just head back, so went for a drive. After a little while he found himself in the hills on the twisty roads, these are quite enjoyable (even for MrGrumpy in a Mustang).  He followed the road which then joined Skyline Boulevard which is not quite as twisty but climbs up and around quite quickly. 
Before not too long he found the intersection where Alice's Cafe is (bikes & cars meet up here) there were quite a few bikes. He was quite thirsty, so stopped for some refreshment. A pint and soda (coke) later he had cooled down and was refreshed.

For the route back he took the 6.5 mile (quick twisty) route down to the freeway and headed back home.

Time to relax with another beer and some snacks.
