Motorcycle Road Trip

By KiKi

            On one of our week-long motorcycle road trips. At Bridgeport, Ca....1995

My brother Mando and his wife Pat were trying to steal money from the ATM machine (jk) with my wife Connie as the lookout.

Riding a Harley or any other motorcycle is one of the best ways to see and appreciate the beauty that is Highway 395. On our first night on the road, we camped at Mcgee Creek. - After we left Bridgeport, we rode 395 to Susanville. From Susanville, we rode west on state route 44; from 44, we took SR 89 to Burney Falls. The park was packed, and we couldn't find a campsite nearby, so we rode to Weed, where we found a campground. From Weed, we took SR 97 to Klamath Falls, Oregon. From Klamath Falls, we rode west on Oregon's SR 66 to the I-5. We then took the 5 home  – I've told members of my family and friends that any chance they get, they visit resorts all over the world, Cancun, Hawaii, Cabo, Europe, etc., to make time to check out the beauty in our own backyard.

Haircut and Greasy Menudo

By kiki

Even though I have not been feeling chipper lately (old age is really getting to me), I nevertheless drove this morning to Daniel's Hair Studio in Montebello for a cut and comb (I was long overdue). I started feeling hunger pains as Dan was working his magic. - I think that my imaginary friend Beto was also hungry because as Dan was cutting around my bad ear, he whispered in my good ear, "I need some menudo, dude, I need to cure this hangover" So I told Beto that as soon as Dan was done, I would find us a menudo joint. At that, Dan asked me, "did you say something?" I didn't answer him - It has been a while since I've had menudo. My La Indiana Friday morning's menudo runs are no more. I stopped doing the La Indiana menudo runs when the people that run La Indiana, in their good wisdom, changed the menudo recipe. We found a joint in El Monte. It was a nondescript joint on Durfee; I don't know if it's street, avenue, or blvd. We went in and ordered menudo, Beto also wanted a beer, but I nixed that real fast. Was the menudo good? No! It was probably the worse menudo I have had in my many years of eating the stuff. It was really greasy, and they make it without pata. The first thought that came to my head when I saw the menudo was 'no wonder they call us greaser' Beto ate some of his menudo, and I left mine almost untouched. Walking out, I told Beto the menudo was too greasy, and he said, 'greasy, and no pata makes for a bad menudo, but I ate mine because I have a hangover' Maybe I needed a hangover too!

Acid kicked me in behind

Hi guys. Sorry that I haven't been able to respond to your inquiries about my health status. And it'is not because I don't appreciate it, I do, please me believe me that I do appreciate it. And for those that asked if there is anything you can do for me, your prayers and thoughts are what I need right now.

As too what is going on?: It looks like I got hit with a severe massive acid reflux attack (had one about two months ago. Took me about 2 weeks to get over it). The pain and burning sensation that you get from these massive acid attacks can be brutal. First, you are afraid that you going to die, and when you don't you start thinking about your friends (which one has a gun that you can borrow?)

Love you guys, but please don't ask me any questions. Because I won't be able to answer them, I just don't have the strength to do so. This attack has me doing the 'old Man Shuffle' Hey! I bet Connie and I could have won many dancing contests with my new crazy moves.   I'll be checking in on your comments. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.
