Having breakfast, then driving an hour and a half only to sit down and wait for lunch seems to me to be a waste of good driving time? (or lawn time...or whatever!)

I left my house at 8:30 drove 20 minutes - sat at the restaurant for a couple of hours, then drove for an hour and a quarter, then sat at a restaurant for an hour and a half then had to haul ass home in order to make a date, arriving home at about 3:30!

Besides, I just can't eat that much!

Therefore, I agree with Duane in that we should decide on either breakfast or lunch, get that planned and out of the way, then do a drive!

Default Better planning next time, that's for sure...

Yeah, if the drive is the objective of the day, it's definitely better to revolve the plan around the drive vs. revolving it around the places to eat. I got to breakfast well before anyone and both Danny and I tried to order three times only to find more time wasted not being able to order. It made no difference to get there extra early to Moonies as we found out. The first group held up not being able to order held up the second group which then had the late arrivals eating really late and not able to leave the breakfast place to join the drive - which was a bummer.

Oh well, that's why it pays to have a solid starting time and departure time to get going vs. people just showing up whenever and wanting to go on the drive... I sorta knew this but we tried the casual approach which never really works. As they say, plan or plan to fail. Hahahahaha.

It was a great drive once we got going though!

When we ordered our car from John Miller (Reno SPF) he told us we would put on weight while hanging out with the Nor Cal group. At first we didn't understand, now we do! We skipped lunch in Rio Vista. Had a great time with everyone as usual. ED
