I decided to to take a ride up north this pass weekend.

My first stop was to see my old friend Joe Kerr. I first met Joe in 1990 when we all used to hang out at the Highland House in Highland Pk. Il. It has since been torn down. Joe has not owned a car in 30 years, instead he has a garage full of motorcycles and every summer he hooks up with Reg Pridmore and does track days all over the country.Thats the kind of retirement I want! Not bad for a 70 year old guy.

I stayed at the Grand Hotel in Bolinas. It may not have been all that grand but it was the cheapest place around. The owner "vic" was a real nice guy and keeps the place clean. It has 2 rooms upstairs with 1 bathroom downstairs. I stayed 2 nights there and had a blast.

On the way back to Bolinas, I stopped at Tonys in Marshall. I got there late and he was closed but managed to hit him up for some clam chowder.

I almost forgot. In bolinas there is a bar/hotel called Smiley's and they get some kick *** bands there. Friday night they had a band called sage and these guys just plain ****** rocked. They played ukulele's and were outstanding. Sorry, I didn't bring my camera.

Honeydust played Saturday and they were equally as good. https://www.myspace.com/honeydust
