   Why not get one of those ice cream trucks to cater the event?

   I’m disappointed in you, Jim! What about the Beatles?

   Jim, I hope you post a text post with the address of that place, because I was like “The what? Where?”

   🙂

   I noticed the part at the beginning with the old Jeep. Not like a K5 Blazer, I agree, but you gotta give a little respect to the IH Scout, especially the Scout II (production 1971-1980), which the Blazer competed with:

   Jim – is that puppy in Vista your new REO from Bank of Countrywide? Why don’t they like you?

   Open houses on Los Robles. That’s where we met JtR! I shoulda’ bought that joint…although at the time, I couldn’t see past the motorcycle engine grease on the carpet mixed with the bong water smell. Shortsighted that was. Oh well, missed that one but still friends w/our host.

    CB Mark can verify where “Jim the Realtor” started – at 5385 Los Robles.

    There were times when the open house was so crowded that I has 30-40 people in the house at one time.

    Though I was wearing a tie, I thought someone might mistake me for a preacher (only realtors and preachers wear ties on Sunday) so I came up with ‘Jim the Realtor’ so people would know who was in charge.

    OK, I checked out the links to International Harvester Tractor Scout, and they did have a V-8 option later on – but did you see how ugly they got?

    The Blazer with a 350 V-8 with turbo 400 and Hooker Headers and you’re talking plain old sexy there.

    For Saturday’s party I will be rolling in my ’66, plus Cheese is bringing his camper with bathroom for the ladies, and I think I have an ice cream man who can help – thanks swm for the idea!
