Show Journal 2001-08-28
Day 5 – Today started with a very nice breakfast from Kathy and a quick game of baseball with her son. His rules involve throwing the ball, bat or glove at Dave after all pitches. I like that game. We were supposed to play in San Franisco tonight but the show fell through. That sucks because we were supposed to meet up with one of Kevin’s friends and we didn’t even get to see him. Oops. We did however get a tour of the largest privately owned collection of military vehicles in the US. We can all thank Dave for that rare honor. At one point we all started yelling at Dave because he was drving really fast around the sharp corners to get to the tanks faster. This would make things fall from the roof extension onto our heads. We yelled some more until he announced that people think he is “a medical curiosity because he has 4 assholes”. I confess that was the best group insult I’ve ever heard and we were all silenced. The tank museum was ok but you have to ask Dave about that one for more info. After that we went to The Winchester House which is this crazy house built by the bride of the inventor of the Winchester rifle. She was haunted by the ghosts of the people who had been killed by his gun. She built this huge crazy house with doorways to nowhere, winding stairways that don’t go anywhere and windows that look at walls in an effort to confuse the ghosts. Crazy. Our tour guide kinda sucked so I wasn’t impressed for very long. Finally we went to Brian’s house where he treated us to an incredible steak dinner. Thanks to Brian and Lisa for the hospitality. We saw a roadside fire on the drive tonight which was a little scary but kind of cool. We slept next to the In and Out burger that we have already visited twice before. That means this is our 3rd journey up and down the I-5 corridor.
