I visited with Josh and his dad first thing Sunday morning at their camp. Josh did not have any broken bones, but he will be scheduling some surgery for his foot in the near future. It seems some of those little bones on top of his foot, while not broken, had been "re-arranged" a bit. He was in good spirits. His dad Sergio was good too. The FJ40 will need a windshield frame.
We're all glad the injury wasn't any worse. Luckily this was the worst accident as far as I know the only injury at resulted in a trip to the hospital.
Huge kudos to Pighead, Ige, and several others who responded and helped at the scene.
Said cruiser...
pics...a few favorites before I get the full gallery going...
Wow, Tor Johnson looks like s*** these days.
I'm pretty sure that is the femur of a young christian he is gnawing on...
LOl. Good fxxxing time. Glad to have met those of you that I did, and I look forward to doing it again.
Thanks.
Thanks.

I found the Sleemousine quite unique...

Tons of people don't even know about the "Turf" part of Surf and Turf! I've got to thank my son Nick for indulging me for a fairly late afternoon.
The run over High Mountain Rd drops you into the Pozo Saloon, built in 1858.
Where the specialty is the Pozo Martini, olives in tasty pale ale:

Ultimate Sand Chef Recipes
We all had a great time!
Can't wait for next year.
I'm still shocked we won the Ultimate Sand Chef competition.
Here are our recipes if you want to try them out on your own. (don't plan on sleeping soon after)
Coffee and spice-rubbed Salmon with a maple coffee glaze (SURF)
Inspired by fiveandspice/FOOD52
Rub
1 1/2 teaspoon Starbucks Café Verona roast, ground medium
1 teaspoon turbinado (raw) sugar
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
Glaze
1 cup brewed Starbucks Café Verona coffee
1 1/2 cups turbinado (raw) sugar
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 pounds of salmon fillets, skin on, center cut, about an inch thick
Pat your salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. In a small bowl mix together the seasonings (coffee through black pepper). Then, stir in the olive oil. Use gloved hands to rub this spice mixture all over the tops of the salmon fillets.
Mix the glaze ingredients in a pan and heat until reduced/thickened. Let cool slightly.
While glaze is heating, grill the salmon fillets skin side down on a well-oiled hot grill and cook just until it flakes easily with a fork. We finished the fillets in a 400-degree oven. Remove from the heat.
Slice, drizzle with glaze and top with julienne-cut Fuyu persimmon.
Coffee-rubbed and encrusted Filet Mignon with a BBQ coffee sauce (Turf)
Inspired by jaredpaventi /FOOD52
Rub
1 tablespoon sea salt
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon freshly ground pepper
1 packet Starbucks VIA Italian roast instant coffee
Crust
1/2 cup Starbucks Café Verona roast, coarsely ground
BBQ coffee sauce
Half a bottle of basic BBQ sauce
2 packets Starbucks VIA Italian roast instant coffee
1/8 cup turbinado (raw) sugar
Splash of Knob Creek bourbon whiskey
Filet mignon steaks, thick, 6-8 oz. each
2 tablespoons olive oil
Apply Rub to cut sides of steaks. Pour the coffee grounds in a bowl and dredge the filet edge sides into the grounds. Set aside and repeat with the next steak.
Mix the BBQ sauce ingredients and set on medium heat until combined and sugar is dissolved. Add more sugar or bourbon to taste.
Preheat a grill pan to high. When hot, drizzle the oil in the center of the pan and coat the base well.
While the sauce is heating and when the oil shimmers, add the steaks. Cook the steaks four minutes, turn them, then cook another four, or until a good crust has formed.
We achieved our desired medium rare doneness on the grill pan and rested the meat. (The recipes continues - Remove pan from the stovetop and add to the middle rack of the preheated oven. Cook 6-8 minutes for rare to medium rare doneness.)
Slice meat and drizzle with BBQ sauce. Top with chopped heirloom tomato and a pinch of sea salt.
TERRA-misu dessert
White layer
1 8 oz container mascarpone cheese
1 packet Starbucks VIA Italian roast instant coffee
Dark layer
8 oz dark chocolate pudding
1 packet Starbucks VIA Mocha instant coffee
1 package of ladyfingers (about three inches in length; can use longer sizes)
2 cups brewed Starbucks Café Verona coffee
Whipped cream
1 tablespoon Ghiardelli hot cocoa powder
¼ cup crushed chocolate-covered espresso beans
Mix ingredients for white layer and dark layer, set aside. Assemble two ladyfingers side-by-side (set 1 – will look like skis) as the base and spoon brewed coffee on top. Do not soak entirely. Spread about two tablespoons of white mixture and top with set 2 of ladyfingers and coffee.
Spread two tablespoons of dark mixture and top with set 3 of ladyfingers and coffee. Top with a dollop of whipped cream. Dust with cocoa powder and crushed chocolate-covered espresso beans.
Murphy Coffee
1/2 Teaspoon of Raw Turbinado Sugar
1 1/2 ounce of Knob Creek
5 ounces of brewed Starbucks Cafe Verona Coffee
topped with Whipped cream
Put in that order; let the sugar and whiskey blend together and then get warmed up by the hot coffee, and set the whipped on top, don't stir.
Seriously tough competitors this year! We couldn't have done it without help from MAK's spices and liquor cabinet and Tracy and her spice rack, Sue and her french press and entertaining Griffin, Mitch and his wind wall. Thanks Amando for the photo.

Anyone know this guy? He looks like he is on a mission...
awesome news! thanks for the update jim.I visited with Josh and his dad first thing Sunday morning at their camp.

damn i wanted to hit some of the inland trails!!! oh well another reason to plan another trip
Jim, thanks for another great year!
All my toys were broken this year (4runner blew a headgasket last month and Vanna the 4wd wondervan is broke in all kind of ways right now), so I was only able to make it out for the day in my POS 89 F250, utility bed and all haha! Got to visit with some friends but missed seeing many of you. Still had a blast riding shotgun for the poker run and the rest of the day. I look forward to the reunion...
Couple pics....
We saw an FJC that was driving around with the driverside looking like it was riding a little low. Flagged him down and took a look. Turns out it was....
This guy had a nice RTT
One video for now, but I have more to come
I think someone said this was "batcon", anyways, here is him launching his chair and breaking some stuff at the same time.
We didn't know he broke anything until he reached under and pulled out his driveshaft
