Cigar Musings

So, I needed new brake pads anyway and had my mechanic check on the warning light. He determined what the issue was and was able to fix it. As I was paying the mechanic for his services, He advised me to give it a good run over the weekend to make sure the light didn’t come back on and if it did to give him a call on Monday to bring it in.

I had to take my little Mini Cooper in for new brake pads and have engine checked out as that annoying little check engine light came on. A couple of weeks ago, after I filled it up with gas I had an issue with getting it to start. It finally started but, the check engine light came on. I thought maybe I didn’t put the gas cap back on properly and after I made sure it was on properly the light no longer came on, until recently.

I gave the Mini a little run after I picked her up on Friday but, I decided to give it a really good run on Saturday. Saturday was a very nice day, a little break from the all of the cold and rain we have been getting here in California, my Lovely Wife and I decided to go for a drive. After giving the car a good run, I decided it was time for a bit of refreshment and pulled into my favorite winery, Wilson’s Creek. Did I ever mentioned how much I love the winery? Just to be on the safe side, I love Wilson’s Creek. Anyway, after a bit of a refreshment, we decided to go to Old Town Temecula, another one of my favorite destinations. I digress….

We decided on stopping by the Be Good Restaurant for a quick bite to eat. Not looking to have a full meal, just an appetizer, we were thinking of going to dinner elsewhere. I have to recommend the A HA’ Ahi Tuna. It is A HA-mazing!!! See what I did there? Anyway, I highly recommend getting two of them if you are sharing. After the first one, you literally crave more. It is that delicious. Its a, it melts in your mouth and not in your hands kind of experience. My Wife had a margarita, which are delicious; however, I wanted to try their Bloody Mary. Let me tell you, their Bloody Mary’s are phenomenal. Not only are they tasty but, it comes with a huge chunk of bacon. BACON!!!! It comes with BACON!!! Awesome!!!

My Wife recommended we check out the Guadalajara Mexican Grill & Catina, just a hop, skip and jump from where we were at. She was in the mood for live Marachi music. I wasn’t too hungry and ended up eating half of the carnitas fries, washing it down with a Dois Equis. While the Mariachi were playing my Wife’s musical requests, I spotted on the back bar shelf a bottle of Whistlepig Piggy Back 100% Rye and naturally, my curiosity demanded I order a shot to give it a try. WOW! I got a spicy, cinnamon flavor off of it. Very delicious in my humble opinion. Will need to add a bottle to my personal bar.

After a few rounds of singing, laughing and drinking we decided to head home for the remainder of the Evening. It was a very good time.

Until next time, Light’em Up!!!
