We are in full swing of winter and since we jinxed the LA weather... we are now experiencing non-stop rain, today being the 4th day straight.

A little rain never hurt anyone.

Especially those who are dropping off gifts. Thanks again Juan you best believe this will keep us warm for those chilly days.

Our number 1 postman AKA Perjean who is also a sneaker head was kind enough to bring us some food, just in time...we are soo swamped here at work that we don't have any time to leave the shop and pickup food!

Perjean was kind enough to drop off some Aloha Cafe' Chili. Thanks again TITO Perjean!

Not only did Perjean Drop off some delicious Chili, but the little homie "short bus" dropped off some Shrimp SHUMAI. Good things come in 2's

Speaking of gifts, Jeff just received these in mail, As a future gift to his future young one.
