It was an extraordinary Friday - one of the better ones I've had during the shelter in place. It reminded me of the sort of adventures I had in days past.
I already posted on the Cobra Kai junket (http://www.brotherhoodofdoom.com/doomFor...7#pid43627). Now Dinner with Daniel.
Daniel has been training to be a race car driver at Laguna Seca. He's hoping to race soon since he's been out of work for 18 months however he still collects on his advertising deals so he's in good shape. He bought a new house just when the pandemic hit and is up to 8 cars, his latest truck he refurbished. He drove up in a 30+ year old purple Porsche that used to be his dad's. His dad wanted something less sporty so he traded him with a new BMW. His dad hardly used it - only 70K miles - so it was in mint condition. But Daniel being into wrenching refurbished that too, keeping all the original parts that were still good (the leather interior was pristine) and juicing the engine.
We had dinner at the Crow's Nest which has outdoor seating under the huge tent that they usually use for beer and food for the free beach concerts. We chatted about politics, mutual friends, dogs, family, racing, TV, movies, and martial arts of course. He gave me an earful about Emily. It was great to connect again. It was also the first time I've eaten in a restaurant since the pandemic began. I hope it was clean (it seemed to be - staff was very mindful and we were seated far away enough).
We didn't do a selfie. I thought about doing a masked selfie because that struck me as funny. But we were keeping distance and it seemed inappropriate to always grab a selfie whenever I see him.
He would love to see Stro. He's been watching a lot of stuff said he was intrigued. Message me that link. We'll see if he really watches it because he does keep busy.
