Thanksgiving Ride
Second year my Dad and I went for a ride in the hills above San Luis Obispo CA for Thanksgiving. This year my Brother and Brother in-law rode along for fun. Dad took out his new old toy which was pretty fun and went places I thought it would not. I did some 4 low climbs that would make everyone proud. Very few pics because it was so much fun and we rarely stopped; that is until the Pozo Saloon for a great meal and a gallon of beer. All in all a great weekend untill the ride home. About 45 minutes outside of SLO my truck sputtered, backfired and lost power. It was an interesting moment finding a road with no PS or PB, but it all worked out. I'm thinking it was a fuel filter with the recent sending unit work I've been doing, but I will find out this week as I had to have AAA tow it back to Dad's so the kids and I could get back to school and work this week. Keep you posted...

Re: Thanksgiving Ride
Cool. Nothing better than spending family time together with the toys we all love.

Re: Thanksgiving Ride
Those are real pretty roads back in there - Pozo is a nice watering hole. I'm glad you guys had a good time, and I hope your truck is O.K..

Re: Thanksgiving Ride
Thanks for the compliment. No thread for the truck. Just random pics here and there. Still waiting to hear from Dad on the truck. All I know is that it was dropped off with no problems. First time I ever used my AAA card.

Re: Thanksgiving Ride
...Shoot, that gum wall was famous when I graduated from Poly back in '80! SLO is pretty fun to wander around downtown on weekends, enjoy the scenery (re: coeds) have a beer, do a little shopping. It makes for a nice afternoon.

Re: Thanksgiving Ride
Great pictures and priceless time spent with dad and family. Glad the truck is ok and it wasn't anything to serious.
