TrampSteer Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 For you southern cal folks ... The long beach high performance swap meet is this Sunday. Couple of months ago we all met after a vigorous shopping experience that morning. I did promise Rod to bring my truck next time. Think I'll make it without anything falling off this time. I can show you my working parking brake!! I've also read that Jeff's truck may be legal now. Might need a shake-down run? I need to deliver a Deathbound's tool to Hank in any event. The passing of the brake adjustment tool would be a much better ceremony in the company of several people don't you think? Hank, if you can't make it PM me and we can arrange for a meet Sunday afternoon? If anyone remembers the name of that restaurant that would be helpful. I couldn't find that old thread to reference.

Desotodav Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 (edited) Try Texas Lucy's on Beach Ave coming to the ocean from Disney Land, great ribs!! I visited Texas Loosey's (Lucy's) in Torrance CA with Hank and Blanca for a meal last year and must say that it was a most memorable experience! I see that Google even has images of the waitresses 'uniforms'! The food was great too !!! Edited July 29, 2015 by Desotodav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Balazs Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Sorry Mike wrong time of the year. I already have an appointment in Dana Point. Let's see......a hot muggy swap meet and you guys.....or a sleek 30 foot lady and a day's fishing out on the big blue? I guess I really am not much of a motorhead after all. .

Plymouthy Adams Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 yellowtails...some of the better "eating" fish one can catch...you can forget any and all car shows if given a choice between the show and an off shore fishing trip...

Jeff Balazs Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Yep I definitely have saltwater in my blood. Supposedly there are some 40# -60# Bluefin Tuna popping up right now...along with some Dorado. That is all I want....Y'all can have the yellowtail..That and a cool day offshore. My shop neighbor and good buddy of many years has a sweet 30' Carver flybridge sport fisher. Just perfect......very comfortable with a nice stereo system.

Plymouthy Adams Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 you sound as if you are going sport fishing...not to fill the freezer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Balazs Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 you sound as if you are going sport fishing...not to fill the freezer... Don't get me wrong 'cause I do enjoy fresh fish.........but it is never about filling the freezer with me. I just enjoy the environment......and the hunt if you will...... and especially fooling a few with artificial lures. Beyond that it is the best "recharge" I know of. If we are lucky we will have some for the grill......and if we are real lucky I will have enough to dry smoke some up Baja style.

RodFru2u Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Jeff, Enjoy the day on the open seas. Looks like a great weekend again in So Cal. Have Fun and enjoy your time with your friend. We are getting to an age that we start loosing them way too fast. Can't get that time back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Balazs Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 Rod; So true! Almost all of my old fishing buddies are gone now. And boy do I miss them. It just ain't the same. Thanks. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see......a hot muggy swap meet and you guys.....or a sleek 30 foot lady and a day's fishing out on the big blue? I guess I really am not much of a motorhead after all. . Jeff Heard there's a lot of them out there the last couple of weeks. If you have to many, I'm sure we could all drive to your place and empty your fridge for you! I visited Texas Loosey's (Lucy's) in Torrance CA with Hank and Blanca for a meal last year and must say that it was a most memorable experience! I see that Google even has images of the waitresses 'uniforms'! The food was great too !!! Ribs for breakfast might be a little to rich for the old ticker. Not to mention the staff. Heck Ya !

RodFru2u Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 Hey Mike, I figure to get to Glory Days Sports Grill around 9:00 AM - 9:30 AM. I talked to Hank and he might make the trip in his truck. If you are going to the swap meet or find yourself in the area THIS Sunday, I'd sure enjoy seeing your truck. If stuff happens, I've made it as far as Huntington Beach in my Beater, So Costa Mesa is just a few miles down the 405. Just heard Gas is cheap again LOL See you there.

TrampSteer Posted August 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Great news, see you all tomorrow then. Jeff can send a picture from the boat to make us all jealous maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrampSteer Posted August 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Rod, The breakfast topic site I mentioned is here. Watch all episodes from the beginning. https://www.youtube.com/user/badobsessionmsport Hank, You need to take off your cloak of invisibility. PM me and I'll drive the part up to your place. We can talk 16 vs15 tires as I am pretty settled on switching to 15 all the way around - so I'll have two 16's I won't need. Jeff, Where's the fish? All, Nothing worth mentioning at the swap meet but this ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Balazs Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Aborted trip...no fish. Port engine was overheating.......bad heat exchanger or manifold and it sounds like it needs a new waterpump as well. Hopefully his mechanic can get to it this week. Bummer as it should have been a good day. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 bummer...one of my most memorable fishing trips was a Friday evening through Sunday afternoon in the Gulf of Mexico, we motored some 40+ miles out from Grand Isle Louisiana...the lifestyle and nightlife of the locals is one that has to be seen in person...matter of fact boating the bayous of the Baton Rouge area was a trip all to itself also. Probably the most fun I have ever had while on fresh waters..that would be an adventure I would enjoy repeating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodFru2u Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Mike, LOL thanks for the link. Nice seeing you & your truck in person.Too bad all you found at the swap meet was a picture of an old truck, maybe next one you'll find a Gem & maybe next time more will join us.
