A few weeks ago, Dave pinner123 and I were talking about a restaurant from my childhood called Bob's Big Boy.

I remember going there something like once a week as a kid. I even remember being too young to have the Big Boy burger while my brother would get to have it.

My beverage of choice would always be a large, heaping glass of whole milk.

At some point in the 80's all of the nearby Bob's Big Boys turned in to Allie's and eventually closed down. Then they reopened as the all-microwave-oven Coco's we know today.

With a little research, Dave discovered that there is a Bob's nearby, in El Cajon. It's attached to a Wal-mart, of all places.

It's all about the statue in front!

I had the Big Boy, of course. Secret Sauce!

We stayed for quite a while and gossiped about our friends. We both texted pictures of our food to njbearcub1. Could have stayed longer, but it got loud.

It was way too many calories but who's counting, right? Yay, friends and food.

I was mentioned on my favorite podcast, The 619 Bearcast. Yay!
I'm such a big fan, so to hear them say anything about me is mega-neato.

Or what you should really do (unless you're, like, my sister) is check out the full podcast (episodes 71 and 57) at 619bearcast.com

Super mega thanks to my new friends Brian, jpinsd and Vito. And, of course, extra thanks to Dave!

Also:
- Dearest 50poundnote, You're in the sound clip too. Apparently I met Dave through you... :)

- I still miss the Buck and Bobaloo Show, though. Just wanted to put that out there. Hi, bobaloo.

- In the clip, JP said we've never met. But, the next day, Mark and I met him at a BBQ. He's a great guy.

The plan for yesterday was to buy and install a garage door opener. But when I heard Dave had nothing going on all weekend, I had the crazy idea of trying to get him to do lunch.

Next thing you know, we're at Rally's in Lemon Grove. We had so much fun gossiping about people we know in common and geeking out about DVDs, toys and gadgets.

I should have taken pictures. The best shot would have been when Dave got all excited about a sign that says you can get your French Fries "loaded" with chili, cheese and bacon. It was cute.

We did take pictures of our food though, of course.

Here's my lunch:

and here's Dave's

Later, Mark and I went and saw Natalie Merchant in concert. (It was really boring! Actually, the sound was beautiful, and her voice is incredible, but pick up the tempo every once in a while...)

We had sushi, at Sushi Deli 2, for dinner. It was one of the best sushi dinners I've had.

...and the sake wasn't bad either!

It's good to be me!
