DOWN WITH THE BREHMS, 23 APRIL 2012

KEEPING THE DUST DOWN

Sorry it's been so long for an update. I have decided my two best excuses are: 1) Not much has happened here at Pio Pico, and 2) We have been busy doing all the things we do before taking off for the rest of the year. We will be hitting the backroads and super slabs in a couple of weeks.

Our biggest events have been our Great Granddaughter's 3rd birthday (that's) Jocelyn in the previous picture...............

CHOPPERS UP

watching the helicopters picking the powerline poles up from the campground, and planting them in holes up on Otay Mt. Pio Pico leased out a part of the campground for SDG&E to stage and build up the power lines. Because the choppers raise so much dust, a water truck (previous pic) wet the whole area down. Those chopper pilots are very good and precise in placing the poles and equipment.......

MUST BE THE POLISH AIR FORCE

Flying poles, get it? ha ha. This is one of the poles being transfered from the playground, dubbed "SDG&E base camp" to pre-drilled holes up on the mountain running South toward Tijuana.......

CHEVY POWERED FORD

Another exciting event is the annual Simpson's Chili Cook Off & Car Show. There were many great hot rods and customs. This year, I passed on the chili cook off sampling. Mixing that many toxic porridge recipes can create a weapon of mass destruction rivaling that of North Korea. I had the sense to go to Brody's Beer & Burger Pub after the car show instead.........

"40" Ford

I believe ever since I was 15 years old, I dreamed of having one of these babies. There were 3 of them at the show for me to drool over..

RAT ROD MAGNAFIQUE

A typical old "30's" open wheeled roadster sporting a 472 Hemi.....nice for a paper route.

Other than loosing our great friend and companion of 20 years, Rossie, these have been the biggies in San Diego area. We hope you are all doing well and are having a splendid spring. We will be leaving soon, probably North through Oregon & Washington, then East to South Dakota to renew our driver's licenses in Oct. Please stay in touch and let us know where you are.......
