SoCal ROC Meet III

Since the 2nd Meet and Greet was so successful, a lot of you SoCal ROC heads have said to me when is the next one? You make the call on this one by taking this poll...

2 locations have been brought to my attention....

Lake Perris, Riverside, CA
Cerritos Regional Park, Cerritos, CA

I have selected these dates for the next 2 meets....

Sunday, April 30, 2006

Saturday, May 27, 2006

Saturday June 17, 2006

I would like the membership to vote for the LOCATION and DATE. To make it fair to those who live in different counties of California, The 2nd place winner of the poll in Date and Location will automatically be the 4th SoCal Meet!
So vote for the Date and Location of your choice and the 2nd place winner in both categories will automatically be the 4th Meet and Greet. :)

Since lgmendez and Racer-X suggested the 2 locations, I asked them to do an advance on the sites for us with pictures, to help drum up interest. We should get reports on each soon!

Doesn't really matter where or when as long as we can all get together again!:p

Lake Perris any day its scheduled to be minimum 80 degs. May 27th is bad for me, but any other day, I'm game. June gloom? Not sure how its going to be this year, but hey, its supposedly spring and we got snow. Who knew???

Ladyridge, I wanted to thank you again for that beautiful banner. I just keep looking at the picture and it was great. I am the gal who was talking to you via speaker during our luncheon. I felt like you were our Charlie and we were your angels telling you that mission was accomplished. I hope oneday we can have an international meet...and meet all you fine people.

Thanks again.

Hugz, Kelly :)

Do you ever have any meetings on the east coast or are all meetings held on the west coast.

Me too!!!!

I completely concur Kel!

By the way. Does anyone have the complete address for either location? I'd like to google earth it and see both places. Thanks!:D

Never mind it works with the address Tony provided. Both places look great to us!

Who's going to break the "tie" on the meet & greet location?:confused:

Who's going to break the "tie" on the meet & greet location?:confused:

The Queen of course!

Pictures of Cerritos Regional Park...

Ahhhhhhh....Very good :D

I don't mean to sound pushy or bossy! Blame it on 'Command Presence' Something I have been displaying for almost 26 years, but this is what I would like to see.....

1. The 19 Ridgeline owners that came to our last meet and greet vote and show up again to the next 2 meets.

2. The other 4 or 5 who could not make it the last time make it this time.

3. The Ridgeline owners we know about, who we did not hear from the last time, make your presence known by coming to the next meet and greet so when people drive by the location, they will think Honda is having a traveling Ridgeline sale!

Give me a hell hey! if you agree with me!:D

Hell Hey!!! We voted for both places and all three days!!!:D :D :D

Lots of parking at both locations and we get to cook our own food! "No waiting!!"

Copy, roger that...I'm in.:cool:

Copy, roger that...I'm in.:cool:

Daryl you sound like me when I work the field! :)

more pictures of Cerritos

that's because I'm ex-pd.

Do you ever have any meetings on the east coast or are all meetings held on the west coast.


Jerzy, go ahead and organize one. It's up to anyone who's motivated to see it happen to make it happen. There's no one appointed to the different regions. It's just up to you and me and whoever is bold enough to get 'er done.:cool:

that's because I'm ex-pd.

Really! Which agency?

still more pictures of Cerritos...

I'll PM you.

That's right! :D

I say "What the heck, let's have a meet in each of the months......."

No better excuse to show off our trucks...right?

Come on guys and gals.......!!!

:p

YAH! I'm for that...each month I can do a different MOD to my RL and show it off...Good idea Ridgegal:D

YAH! I'm for that...each month I can do a different MOD to my RL and show it off...Good idea Ridgegal:D

My wife said 'don't even think it!'.....so I won't choose. Maybe NEXT year!!

See, I knew there was something more that I liked about you besides printing out pictures for us last week! PM me too.......;)

My wife said 'don't even think it!'.....so I won't choose. Maybe NEXT year!!

Kev,
Let me have a talk with her. Woman to woman, she'll love us..."Mrs. Kevin, please join us in making fun of your husband and oh by the way, there is food there too." hehe.

Ah, Kev, you and Mike gotta come to one of them.........

;)

I grew up very near Cerritos Regional and love the place. It's a nice and big park, but Lake Perris just has so much more to offer.

Hi kneemow, welcome to the family! Can you expound on what Lake Perris has to offer our group? Thanks buddy.

I like both places. From the pics, Lake Perris looks fun. But I am thinking it would be kewl to do the Cerritos one in April and then plan a huge meet more toward the May/ June to kick off the summer. The weather will definitely be better and it would be sweet to bring some watercrafts or whatever. Also, by then Kev and Mike could convince Kev's wife to come then too ;)

Is this a good idea or what????? :o

Hi Kneemow, Welcome to the ROC, SoCal ROC! Will you be joining us? do you have pictures of your truck yet, do you have your truck yet? :D

I had a conversation with Racer-X tonight about Cerritos Regional Park and he told me because of health reasons, their are no public barbecue pits in the city parks. so you have to bring your own pits or food. We could also start a committee, take up a collection and buy the food and bring it to the location or have it catered? what does the group think? :)

Holly Cow Tony! You don’t sleep much either huh? I guess we could use another survey to find out what everyone like to eat? I’ve done the foot work with catering services before at work for our open house and family picnics, so I guess you have one volunteer already. I’m for catering so that way nobody’s gotta slave over a hot barbecue. Lemme know what ever else is required. :p

Good Morning,

That is right Tony, holy cow...don't you ever sleep....lol

I like the idea of just keeping it simple. Hot dogs and Hamburgers and for you veggies.....Veggie Burgers......pretty easy....just need condiments, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles, buns, and whatever you put in a burger.

We can add some side dishes like potatoe salad, macaroni salad, chips and whatever else is easy to buy and bring.

Just my 2 cents.

Okay 5 cents. :rolleyes:

Hi and Thanks everyone for the Warm Welcome.

Toobuku: I'll have some pictures of my truck after this morning as I'm heading up into the local canyons to find the perfect backdrop for it.

5S Dude: i'll skip over the obvious pros and cons about the two places and just tell you from my own perspective. i'm personally partial to big wide open spaces away from the city. LP is far enough away without being in the sticks and very wide open. As you learned last night there are no BBQ pits at CR, but they do have them at LP. As if this wasn't enought there are also bass and trout in that lake. if there are any fisherman / gourmet grillers in the group this will make for a tasty lunch. the lake in CR has catfish and the remote control plane that i crashed into it when i was 15 (there were no survivors).

Hey kneemow, cute name...lol

Welcome, I am fairly a newbee too.... I like what you had to say....sounds good. Maybe we can find your remote control plane :rolleyes: hehe. I guess that would be like finding the titanic...lol

Welcome and looking forward to seeing another Ridgeline owner

Fixed it for you

Kneemow, that’s an awesome backdrop you found to take your Ridgeline photo! Do you have any plans for future mods? Oh, and congrats for your choice in color as well.:p

very nice!

thanks! that's in the entry way for Blackstar Canyon. it's close to where i live and reputed to be either haunted or where satanic rituals occur. it's neither based on my experience. it's a great scenic place to hike with an extremely active beagle.

i'm going to add running boards for now. any future mods depend on the mods themselves. I like to go for functionality primarily, but how it looks does factor into it. changing the grill is in the back of my head, but it's not high on my list of things to mod.

When I was younger and drove an "off-brand" 4x4 mid-size truck, you used to be able to drive back into Black Star & Holly Jim's for quite a ways. I haven't been back to that area in a very long time. Lot's of great memories though. Can't wait to see everyone at SoCal #3:D

you still can for holy jim. blackstar has a gate blocking entry, but its been there as long as i can remember (20+ years). i've hiked holy jim quite a few times last year and took my 2wd passport all the way in without problems.

they're both great drives/hikes.

Gadzooks kimosabi! My buddies & I used to ride our dirt bikes up Black Star before there were any gates blocking the entrance. Is the entrance to Holly Jim’s still a large bed of large smooth round rocks? I don’t think I’ll be cruzin the Ridge up that one any time soon.:p Maybe some of the ROC-Heads that have the off-road setup will want a SoCal #4 meet up at Holly Jim's!!

Kev,

Well, Ridgegal, are you coming to Sedona??? :p


After a long weekend trip, you may feel that it may be too soon to head back after 1,000 miles round trip. Not that I wouldn't, but timing, work, etc.....I did end up taking a day off work last week to make the So Cal meet....

I won't say I will not go to another So Cal meet, but just not this soon! (I haven't even gotten back from my Las Vegas trip this weekend - will be home later today)!

I hope you can come to Sedona for this meet!! There's plenty to see and do (including real estate hunting with your friend.....). We would love to have you here!!

a couple of squatters live in blackstar now. the county seems to be ok with their living there, but probably put the gate in to keep any more from doing the same.

the ride into Holy Jim is pretty mellow. it's mostly dirt roads on the way in with a few of the smooth rock stream beds you have to cross on the way in. i imagine it's changed a little since you were last there.

Here are some pictures of Lake Perris that lgmendez found on the web...

oh yes!

HEY SOCAL ROC!

I don't know if any of you have realized what we have accomplished since 2 weeks ago! Our March 18th meet thread is still sizzling with over 8500 views! Even though I'm going to Sedona to hang out with the Arizona/SoWest ROC, I don't want our meet record broken except by US! So with that said, I would love to see all 19 SoCal ROC members from Meet 2 at Meet 3 along with those who could not make it before and I did not hear from. Remember, both meets will occure, the poll will determine which location we go to first and when! I WANT TO SEE US FILL THAT ENTIRE PARKING LOT!

Come on SoCal, LET'S DO THE DARN THING! :D

:D I'll be there!!!:D

Way to go Daryl!

Any interest from our EOC Brothers & Sisters?

Tony, how about we break the record in Sedona on Saturday? This will motivate you guys even more to break the record (again)? :p And keep in mind, you will likely be down 2 since Mike and I are 99% sure we can't make another So Cal meet for a bit:cool: (Not that I don't want too......)

See you Friday! And bring someone (like Ridgegal) along to help break the record!! We are creeping up there in #'s.......:rolleyes:

OH, I am definitely in.......:) :p :D


But what about Sedona??? Since our trucks are twins (same color and bought on the same day) they want to get together again.....:p

Did your friend buy a RL? What a great way to break in a new truck!!

And keep in mind, you will likely be down 2 since Mike and I are 99% sure we can't make another So Cal meet for a bit (Not that I don't want too......)

Kevin, you don't get it! Either way I win because I am a part of it! :D

Oh, I get it! But I know you want So Cal to keep the record.....:rolleyes:

Well, if we get 20...just know that it will be your presence that made the difference by one!! :p

After this meet, Mike and I may be able to say that we have attended 3 of the 4 largest ROC meets!

I just want the best possible turnout for my traveling friends......:p I would really hope for 16, which would be double our first AZ meet last August. That is my true goal......

You have my cell #(if you don't, email or PM me....). If you want to do dinner on Friday night, give me a shout tomorrow or early Friday. Would love to get together before the meeting! I have Friday open all day anticipating your arrival!! (And Twintym too!!)

Hope to see you FRIDAY!!

Tony, you have Satellite Nav don't you, it should change itself! Thanks I will!
no i dont, at the time of purchase, i didn't think about buying with the RL since i tend to over plan before leaving where ever i go. So i just have the RTL w/o SR or Navi.

Okay SoCal ROC'ers,

I'm back from Sedona and I am how refocusing on our next 2 meets. From what I have seen since coming back, we are tied at 10 apiece for Cerritos or Lake Perris, for April 30th. The last day to vote is April 16th for the location and date. We are bringing our own food to both! So in the event of a tie on the location, Our Queen will break that tie and the 2nd place winning location will be set for the 2nd place winning date. Any objections? :)

Works for me...:)

sounds good

yah, let her make the call Tony!:p

Can I vote twice? I say Perris!!!!!

http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=24006

Here is a link so you guys and check it out. The lake was drained somewhat for repairs, but remains very much open!!!

Here is the link for the place that rents Honda Watercraft and its off the 91. So those Ridge owners with the tow package, get ready. Maybe we can contact the owner of Jammin Jetskis and setup a ROC price??? You never know.

http://www.jamminjetskis.com/

I'm still for Lake Perris


Here's another reason why ... we can wake up early'ish and meet someplace. We then drive the Ridgeline caravan to LP.

This works!! You have my vote.

Luis .. would you happen to have a close up picture handy of the bull bar on your truck. i'm trying to find one online, but am not having much luck.

thanks

How do you guys feel about makin both events happen!

The Cerritos event could be a one day Ridgeline only meet & greets, filled with stuffing our faces with food and drinks, hanging out together in the sun shine, relaxing day at the park.

The Lake Perris event could include our EOC (Element) brothers & sisters and turn into a two day camping overnite extravaganza for those who dig camping! Tell me yer thoughts.:p

Hey Tony, any word from Sheniferous?? He hasn't answered my pm......

I'm easy...I'll go with the flow. I'll be there :D

Daaaaaaaaaaaaam! A back to back. . . to back SoCal Meet? How intriguing :rolleyes:

I am a ez as well....I like the ideas...and camping sounds FUNNNNNNNN!!!!

Hey Paladin,

Wassup???

Ooo..sounds interesting? isn't reservation for camping already past? wouldn't be hard to reserve a site for LP?

Hey kanji, great to hear from you! Are there time limits regarding the camping availability?

Hey kanji, great to hear from you! Are there time limits regarding the camping availability?

It's cool Kanji, I couldn't wait.:)

Hi gang! I just got off the phone with Linda at the Group Camp / Group Picnic Reservation desk in Lake Perris. She told me that as soon as we lock down the dates she will be able to reserve the spaces for us. Overnight and day use camping reservations require 48 hours notice and she said it has not been very crowded yet.

"40 Ridgelines cruzin into the campgrounds!!!" (Photo Op!):D

She also told me "The sooner we all decide the better the location guy’s!

I‘ve also called the Marina / Watercraft Rental but they were already closed so I will call again on Thursday at lunch. Yeah baby!! I’m getting pumped! I have a feeling these two events are gonna be off the charts!!:p

Hey Tony! Any word from the EOC?

Are there any Hilton or Fairmont hotels near by? If we are camping I wont use room service....:D

sounds like a lot of fun!

Good Evening to all my SoCal ROC buddies!

I hope you all are looking forward to the next 2 meets coming up. I made an interesting observation checking the poll thus far. With 14 for Cerritos and 13 for Lake Perris, that's 27 Ridgelines in SoCal of those that voted.

Now check this out...I went to Lingered I's profile and clicked the signature to update the Google Earth for ROC members and to my surprise, there are many more members than the first and only one I down loaded when I first saw it. I also discovered that there is over 30 SoCal ROC members between San Diego, The High Desert, and Inland Empire alone!

Guys and Gals, if we can come out to both of the upcoming meets, that record could stand until maybe the international meet this year. But that is 30 or more Ridgelines alone. Not to mention, The EOC has been invited to join us at both meets. So I need your help, PM someone you know that was not at the last meet and greet in Laguna Beach and get them to come out to the next 2! It looks like April 30Th in Cerritos Regional Park and May 27Th at Lake Perris. It will not be official until April 17, 2006 so vote if you have not done so, but remember both meets are a go! I'll be coming to both of them! What about you! :)

Yeah Baby! We will be at both events too........:p How bout it guys, who's in for some fun in da sun?

Hey kanji, great to hear from you! Are there time limits regarding the camping availability?
This meet sounds interesting, the LP thing, how is it going to be handled? the cost for the site, how many are confirmed to stay for day or overnight?? Been there camping at LP for group camping and there's barely any trees at the group site. That would be a site to see a group of RL's traveling to LP....it's going to turn heads...please keep everyone up to date

Would you care to be a volunteer? we sure could use your expertise in handling some of the logistics. They told me they needed a 48hr advance notice for group camping and that a couple of us could bring "easy-up" canopies. Frankly, the individual camping spots look a lot more shade friendly to us as well. I believe it’s $25.00 to camp. We have a good amount of time to gather more info as the Cerritos event should be much more simple to get together. So this will be our primary focus. Stay tuned.......:p

Finalize the Lp at cerrito's, it will make things easier to figure out who's who are going. Need to some how create a position whom will be doing the planning and stuff. Don't you have to put some sort of a down payment to reserve a spot or can they let people reserve the spot by letting them know?

I’ll PM Tony and find out the skinny regarding the end dates for voting and as for creating a planner position, maybe we need another poll so we can all vote for Tony, :p heehe. As he is a natural at this stuff.

I'll also call Lake Perris again today, but she had not mentioned a deposit of any kind was required. I’ll also check the rental shop for information as well.:D

For those of you like me, that don’t read the fine print! Tony reminded me that the cutoff date is posted at the top of the poll.

Just talked with Tony and here's his answer.

END OF VOTING IS 4/16/2006. lgmendez is tasked with obtaining any info on L.P.or things that need to be done.

Lincoln has Cerritos, but that is easy.

It looks like it's going to be Cerritos on April 30th and L.P. on May 27th

so what's the deal with ceritos? is it byof? bring your own food or is it like pot luck event?

Unfortunately I'll be leaving for Hawaii on the 29th for a funeral :(
(apparently there is one hell of a waiting list to be buried on the islands)

I would have loved to go to this one (especially since it's so close).

Sorry you have to go to Hawaii for that reason. There will be others promise! Take care neighbor!

Hi All,
'Don't get onto the site much these days. Gettin' worked to death I guess, then got smashed from rear (at red light) in my new S2000 :( . . . that's kind of occupied my already unavailable time.
Thanks to JustSeth55 for eMailing me out of my ROC slumber. I made a note of dates & will coordinate w/Boss (Wifey just flew out today for a few days visiting w/Aunt & Sister in Reno . . no they don't live there).
Hope to make it . . was at the San Diego event w/ our EOC buds & that was fun. Couldn't make the last two, so am hoping we'll get to these next ones.

Hellooooooooooo!

So who's going to Cerritos next week?:rolleyes:

I'm pretty much in...what time is everyone showing up? Also what's the address for this park, i don't have navi but would like to google it so i can make some alterante routes just in case for accidents and road work.

thanx a bunch

wow lots of events going on for sure i will be there. Can't wait for the LP meet that one is going to be a blast. I have a 2005 seedoo and that will probably the first time this year I take it out can't wait!!!!!! see you all there...:D

It just came to me that the LP meet will be Memorial Day weekend right? Hmm...that will be alot of traffic on or near the 60, 10, 15, & 215 junction near ontario or even around the 210 east and west..Wonder when the gas will cap its max price? food for thought.

Hey kanji, your right i was thinking the same thing. My girl reminded me that that weekend we are going to be out (going to HAVASU). I realy think that that date sould be changed. Memorial weekend not just the gas but the wait to get in. Never been there on that weekend but I have tried labor day weekend, I knew there was going to be traffic so I arrived about 6AM no joke.
The line just to get into the place was about 1.5 miles (not kidding). We ended up going to the beach instead.

Hey SoCal ROC, I am sorry I have not been online much this past week! My Regular gig, Dodgers, and MLB had me burning the candle at both ends and by Thursday I spent the next 2 days playing atch up with rest. Just a reminder for this coming meet, IT IS BRING YOUR OWN FOOD AS PER THE POLL! Those who want to go in with another member on food that is up to you and the other member.

As for the concern for the Lake Perris meet being on Memorial Day Weekend, it can be set for another time! let me know and we can poll it or do it on the June date that is already been discussed. just let me know how you wish to do it! I look forward to seeing all from Laguna who can cme out and the one who did not make it the last time.

SEE YA ON THE WEEKEND! :D

Hey Tony! Thanks for the update on the M&G. Can anyone in the area suggest a place to pick up some food? I was going to stop at Knott's to get some fried chicken from the chicken place or ? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks and see everyone next Sunday :D

tony..sounds good on a new poll for LP GTG...it might be a little hecktic to do on memorial day weekend..and i guess everyone can finalize for LP meet in Cerrito's meet?...is there a market near by the Meet in Cerrito's to get some sandwiches or something?

Hey Tony, Whats up? Just found out about your Socal Meet IV at Lake Perris. Well guess what. I'll be in San Diago the whole week prior and plan on staying the weekend of Memorial. So if the meet stays on that date I'm there. However if traffic and other issues come up its cool, maybe another time I'll catch up with you SoCalers. I want to plan a SW/Phoenix meet but I think the weather/heat is going to be against me for the next couple of months. Just stay tuned and hopefully you'll try to make it again.

Hey Shaun, I don't know what is going to happen with the Lake Perris meet date. I am still willing to go. I may poll it and see what happens. As for your meet, have it at The Point!

I haven't seen much talk about this M&G...is anyone going:confused:

ABSOLUTELY!

This is starting to look like a Smurf meet & greet. Of the people that have recently confirmed, I count (1) silver, (1) black and (4) Steel Blue (Smurfs). I'm sure there will be others, but it looks like it's going to be a BLUE Sunday!;)

The Smurf's are taking over...:D

my gramps pulled through and i won't have to leave town, and plan to join the meet this weekend after all.

my RL is black, and a lil bit dirty.

kneemow-that's great news! Are you bringing the pup? Lets chat about the quads. see you Sunday!

FYI.
Cerritos is celebrating the city's 50th year of existence this weekend. There will be festivities with carnival rides and food at the Sports Complex, which is part of the Reginal Park. Luckily it doesn't kick off till noon on Sunday.

fanger8-good to know...thanks for that information. Does anyone know the exact gathering point for our meet????

If the M&G starts at 9am, I don't see an issue with parking. I would however, suggest gathering on the north end of the Park on 195th St (and Bloomfield). This will be opposite the festivities. And for those that want to venture out to the food & games after the meet, it's still within walking distance. Just a thought.

Hi fanger8 and welcome to the ROC! I was informed this afternoon by Racer-X of the very same info that you conveyed! He and I will be there around 5:30 to try and hold spots. I bought 200 feet of yellow rope, I hope that's enough to try and hold spaces. push comes to a shove, we can always relocate to El Dorado or another park not far from my condo. It will get done!

Hi Tony~ Is there only one way in/out of the park? If not, can you tell me what entrance to go to? THANKS!:D

I wasn't sure but is there ant BBQ grills to make carne asada or do we have to take our own??

I wasn't sure but is there ant BBQ grills to make carne asada or do we have to take our own??

I think...either Racer-X or Toobuku mentioned that you can't use the grills at the park for health reasons:confused: :confused: :confused:

now i remember the birds :eek: .. well is anybody going to take one? i would but its kinda big but i will if other people need me too. or else i guess sandwiches will do:( guys let me know.....

Same problem with me...grill's too big to haul from SD.

I am sure it's posted already somewhere but I am too tired to go thru each page. Is there a particular address to the Cerritos Regional Park?

thanks Guys

Cerritos Regional Park
(562) 924-5144
19700 Bloomfield Ave
Cerritos, CA 90703:D

if i feel up to it in the mornin I'll take it steak sounds good for a picnic. do you know if the park allows BBQ grills (personal).

Anybody knows the head count for tomorrow?

I am not quite sure but I know I will be there....celebrating my Ridgey's 1's Bday...hehe.....one year ago tomorrow...he was adopted by me......

I think...will be there:

1: Ridgegal
2: Toobuku
3: 5S Dude
4: Twintym & family
5: MGUZMAN
6: Racer-X (?)
7: Fanger8
8: Kanji (?)
9: Kneemow (?)
10: Gadgetz

Not going:

1: Wiley (Had a funeral in Hawaii)
2: O.C. Ridge (Has out of town guests)
3: Bonerep (Going to a Wedding)

That's coo, 1 year tomorrow. What a b-day. celebrating with all brothers and sisters.:p

I saw a blue ridge today and stopped to put a note on the windshield about tomorrow hopefully they show. The more the better.

:cool: Smurf's RULE!

I was trying to get on earlier to post more info, but the site was down.

[COLOR="Navy"]Hi fanger8 and welcome to the ROC! I was informed this afternoon by Racer-X of the very same info that you conveyed! He and I will be there around 5:30 to try and hold spots.COLOR]

Anyway, Thanks for the Warm Welcome! I don't think it'll be too hard to secure a place, if you're there that early. There's like 3 parking areas around the outskirts of the park (1 on Bloomfield by the gymnasium, a couple more along 195th). 2 entrances that will take you into/towards the sports complex portion (1 is off of Bloomfield and the other off of 195th St). Tookuku and Racer-X will fine the ideal location and camp out. They shouldn't be hard to locate. BTW - I don't recall seeing any bbq pits at this particular park. Hope this helps.

If you see a blue RL driving around in circles...looking lost, that would be me. If you guys & gals see me flag me down.:rolleyes:

I'm out I'm taking my BBQ so if anybody wants to take meat take it.

once again 19700 Bloomfield Ave. Cerritos probably be off of 195th.

:D Lets have fun!!!!!! yea baby

Hey Kelly, What did you decide for desert?

Well gang, SoCal ROC III is in the books with 10 attendees. they were the following...

1: Ridgegal, (Kelly)
2: Toobuku & Daughters, (Anthony, Aracely, and Ariyon))
3: 5S Dude, (Ron)
4: Twintym & family, (Dan, Pam, Chelsea, and Caitlin)
5: MGUZMAN, (Miguel and Adrianna)
6: Racer-X and Family, (Lincoln, Monica, Aubrey, Ally)
7: Fanger8, (Peter and son Brandon)
8: Kanji, (Anthony)
9: Kneemow, (Steve and his back up, Bridgett)
10: Gadgetz and wife, (Daryl and Lydia)

I and Racer-X got to the park early enough to hold about 15 parking spaces. There was great food, great weather, great conversation, beautiful trucks and new faces to place with names. I finally got to meet MGUZMAN, (Miguel and Adrianna), Fanger8, (Peter and son Brandon), Kanji, (Anthony), Kneemow, (Steve and his back up, Bridgett). A great time was had by all!

We discussed the concern over the date of SoCal Meet IV at Lake Perris and decided to move the meet to Saturday and Sunday, June 17 and 18, 2006. That way, those of you can make arrangements in advance if you want to stay overnight there. I am hoping Luis (lgmendez) can supply and or make reservations for a group of 30+ for this next meet. In the meantime, I will be looking for lodging for the Cal ROC I Meet in Santa Cruz, CA on September 30, 2006. I did not take a picture for this one however stand by because Ron and others came through on this one! ;)

Here are my photos from today’s meet & greets. I’ve got to focus more attention on the ROC owners than always snapping pictures of their trucks huh?

To all that attended, Thank you so much for the wonderfully relaxing day together and hope to see you all soon at the Lake Perris Run to the Sun!!:D

And a special thanks to Tony & Lincoln for getting up at the crack of dawn to reserve all the parking and to Tom (T-Mac) for all your hard work making this site the very best it can be! (Your new server ROC's)

It was fantastic meeting everyone! on a gorgeous day too. i can't wait til the next one. hopefully i'll have added a few things or at the very least washed my truck.

Toobuku - you were dead on about cerritos, it happened in 1986.


here's a few pics i took

Hi yall;

Whooa! da food was off da hook today. We had korean short ribs courtesy of me and tony, some chiken ala guzman, darryl brought a wide array of food from knotts fried chicken to little snickers bars, and Ron brought Two awesome sushi platters. Practicallly everybody that attended had food in tow, it was great. The weather was perfect, we actually had two BBQ sessions with all the meat that was there, come to think of it...Hey Guzman we never fired up those steaks..hahaha. just age them till LP. It was great to see some new faces as well. I hope the next meet will be just as fruitful. Till then.

Lincoln

Here's some small mod that i showed to Linc. simple but pretty cool. some Cheeze grader type pedals to grip slippery feet or foot massage. and a small lighting mod in case you drop something at night and don't have to turn the lights on. Sorry, its a little blurry..trying to get the ambience lighting for the feet.

Thanks to All for making me feel welcome! Though in and out, and having to attend to my son, it was great meeting all of you for the first time and chating a little bit. Did however, forget about the neat trunk. I could have put Brandon in there, and engage in more conversations...j/k. Thanks to the ones that took the pix...my son really enjoyed them.

Kelly - I have a little cutie too. Perhaps you can bring him a bone also. Mayebe we can get him to talk. (All in good fun).

See you all in LP!!!

Hey Anthony...works for me.....:cool:

Has anyone noticed that the new date for SoCal meet #4 in Lake Perris, June 17th and 18th, falls on Fathers Day? Just thought I should point that out.:confused:

Hey, that's a great Excuse for me to get away...to Lake Perris!!!

A great way to celebrate all you father's out there....hehe But it could put a ringer on some of us....hmmm.....

and Fanger8, I have a bone for your doggy too :D

HOLY COW ... I'm soooooo Sorry. I forgot to Thank everyone for all the wonderful food too.

THANK YOU!

:rolleyes: hmmmmm...perhaps a new poll for other dates:confused:

:rolleyes: hmmmmm...perhaps a new poll for other dates:confused:

Daryl, I think you have a point! hmmmm

Any other ideas....maybe the weekend before?

June 10-11 looks much better to me. What does everyone else think?

June 10-11 looks much better to me. What does everyone else think?

It works for me too...anyone else? Tony, Ron, Daryl, anyone....

ummmm. I have to check my work schedule...I won't know until tomorrow (i'm off today):D

I always do the LA Roadster Show and or the Antique Nationals with my Dad and my son. So I guess I’m cut for Fathers Day as well. Plus my little baby Nicole graduates High School that weekend.

I won’t know till tomorrow about the 10th & 11th as Cindy’s working late.

Wow...great pics everyone...enjoyable day for friends to hang out and xchange stories and mods..Tony..you know, you shouldn't ramble on about things you're going to do to your ridge and not tell everyone and let everyone wait...geez. Here's more pics.

SNAP :eek: ....another special date i missed. thanx for the reminder..Hmm another power tools or a gazeebo for dad??

HOLY COW ... I'm soooooo Sorry. I forgot to Thank everyone for all the wonderful food too.

THANK YOU!
I too forgot to thank everyone....I am soo sorry (gotta use less O's), thank you all for the great food, meeting new wonderful friends, and (racer-x)Linc's special cooking. I may need to find Linc a nice white chef's coat that says " Ridgeline owner's club WEst coast chef/BBQ'r " :D .

Yeah, Lincoln is da bomb behind a grill! I really like his mom’s rice too.:D

I vote for Lincoln - Official SoCal ROC'er Chef :p

So...kelly, what are you using to make your bed so nice and clean..even with my tannau on my bed doens't look as clean and sparkles like yours.:D

Great pics all! Glad to see you guys had a ROC'n time! I was thinking about you while I was working :( Keep the pics coming if there are more!

So...kelly, what are you using to make your bed so nice and clean..even with my tannau on my bed doens't look as clean and sparkles like yours.:D

You want me to give away my secret??????????? :eek:

Kelly let her secret slip at the meet.......1st - She never uses her (truck) bed and 2nd - She Armor-Alls it. I told her my bed didn't look that good when I bought it. Lincoln was a close second on who had the cleanest bed. Ron wins for the bed that most resembles an actual truck bed. The rest of us fell somewhere in the middle.

Sunday was great and my family and I really appreciate everyone that planned and helped with the meet. Special thanks to everyone that brought the great food and to those that cooked it. We're glad we added some new SoCal meet attendees this time. ROC has been a great source for new friends!:D

don't ask but i just figured out how to re-size the pictures.... and here they are.. I'M HUNGRY!!!!!:D

We Should Do This More Often

Here Are More

Late in getting these pictures out but i did it. Well let me start by thanking all of you for such a warm welcome, sometimes you never know what to expect. Adriana at first didn't want to go, I finally convinced her to go but she wanted to come home early, as you all know we were the last to leave. All of you were awesome the food i cant even begin to say WOW......I ate for at least 2-3 days, well not really. After the meet Adriana and i headed to Manhattan Beach Tony & laura's house (friends) and we scarfed down the steaks we never got to grill. Sorry no aging aloud. Got home late and today didn't go to work but was out all day working on MIKEY the RIDGE.
Was at the dealer for the door clip recall, the LOOSE MOLDING, and the WINDSHIELD NOISE. that sucks i was the only one with these issues. was there for about 3 hrs didn't mind since i was watching the NASCAR race. well replaced the clips ordered the clips for around the molding and the will look into the windshield noise when i take it back for the molding clips. I also felt the odd one since me and kneemow were the only ones without the rear mud guards, so i got them easy to install 5-10 min max...Linc thanx for the info on the intake, and thanx for being the chef.... Another vote fore you.....
late and tired hope to see all you soon check out MIKEY the RIDGE in what you tow with your Ridge thread... see ya I"M HUNGRY ;)

I too forgot to thank everyone....I am soo sorry (gotta use less O's), thank you all for the great food, meeting new wonderful friends, and (racer-x)Linc's special cooking. I may need to find Linc a nice white chef's coat that says " Ridgeline owner's club WEst coast chef/BBQ'r " :D .

Hi Guzman, I'll have a Mango Margarita on the rocks with a shooter of Grand Marnier on the side. Thank you very much!:D

or

This layered drink uses Kahlua, Bailey's, and Grand Marnier. You can do them in anything from a 1:1:1 ration to putting in 1/2oz Baileys to 3/4oz Kahlua to 1oz Grand Marnier.

Put in the Kahlua first. Now using an upside down spoon, pour the Bailey's gently on the spoon so it fans out against the inside of the glass, drizzling gently on top of the Kahlua. It'll form a second layer. Do the same with the Grand Marnier for the top layer. Enjoy!

Hi, I got a 2006 RTL, and when cold in the morning, I back out and put it in drive and when i start to excelerate slowly, at 5 to 15 miles per hour, I hear a clunk that sounds like it may be coming from the trans or some gear case. I think it may be the anti-lock brake system resetting, and clunk is herd.
I called several dealers and all they say is to bring it in and leave it over night for testing.
I have a 2001 Accord that has the ABS system that cycles every morning when I start out making a straing sound
I need a master mechanic to tell us what happens when starting out in the morning in the $32000.00 Ridgeline.....
Please tell me what is going on, Thank you
