Free beer! Free tacos! At Nick's Crispy Tacos

Is this the best taco in San Francisco?
Well. Yeah.

Our local neighborhood eatery/nightclub/sports bar Rouge / Nick's Crispy Tacos runs a regular "Taco Tuesday" Facebook promotion:
"Taco Tuesday Raffle! Planning on checking out Taco Tuesday tomorrow? Well then you will want to enter this raffle. Winner gets a 6pack of famous tacos from Nick's, a 6pack of Bud Lights from Rouge & a high in demand Booth reserved from 8pm till we close! **Just like this status and Please check back at 12pm tomorrow(Tuesday) to see if you Won!**"
I supplemented  my entry with weeks of whining and begging in the comments. Finally they caved and made me the winner. Invited cousins Sean and Katie to enjoy the repast.

I suspected they ran this promotion to get traffic on a slow night. Wrong.  The line was around the door. But since we were the winners,  restaurant manager Manny cut us in front of the line, across the velvet rope and guided us through the crowd to our premier booth:

The fish tacos, were not part of the promotion, so I went with the carnitas.  I suppose I could complain about the choice of beer, but it was - you know - free, so that might seem ungracious of me.  Anyway, Bud Light is not so bad with Margarita chasers. Great food and a fun night catching up with Sean and Katie.







Life is good.

19th hole

Walked down the street to the Tee-Off to properly celebrate Zach's inaugural round at Lincoln Park. He had the Bad-a-Bing, or as it is know in the U.P. - a Cudighi. The Chron recently reviewed the bar calling it a "Five Star Dive".  I hope they don't let it go to their head.

Alright. I've delayed long enough. The scores:

BP 85
ZN 88
MW 101

I have self esteem issues.

Live blogging Lincoln

We made it through the SF marathon traffic obstacle course in time for our 8:30 tee-time. This is Zach's first time ever playing the track. Lincoln cooperates by properly setting the stage with fog,  mist, and wind.

19th hole

The Reuben was good. The beer was good. My score sucked.

My second shot on 18.

That is Rick's drive in the far distance.  Rick insisted I include this picture in the blog. Did I mention that I birdied 17?

Rick's approach on 17


That's my drive in the far distance.  I'm on my way to a birdie. First time I've birdied 17.  There is no picture of my birdie, because Bob does not have the technical chops to handle a smartphone.

19th Hole


 The second leg of the EssEff Public Golf Triple Crown is in the books.

BP 92

MW 100
RE 112

Had a great back going with three pars until I triple bogeyed the last three holes. This is a frustrating game. At least I improved on my performance at Harding.  My next shot to break 100 will be at Sharp on Sunday.
