Oakland Hills 500' elevation...

I can go years not setting foot in SF.

That said, SF has an amazing skyline and with the Bay Bridges makes for amazing City Lights back drop.

In 2010-12 homes in her neighborhood going for +/- 250k or about $100 a square foot.

Aha! That makes sense.

I went to school at Merit College for a bit while establishing my Cali registry before entering Cal-Berkeley. Lived on Haste three blocks south from the Cal campus. Miss all the late night food dives. I'm sure most are long gone.

Merit just below Skyline??? If so you know the view!

A lot of the places like Bertolas with 59 cent drinks or Kingfish or even Giovanni's and Larry Blake's gone now...

A family friend owned much of the land below Merit but that was in the early 80's

Remember Blondie's pizza?

Yes I do know that view.

I also remember College Ave Burrito Shop... is that still around. We would buy a burrito for $5 and it was huge. Half for a midnight snack and the rest the next day. Good ole days of school on a shoe string budget. What about Top Dog! A little shack next to campus that also served us meatheads after midnight!

Yep... Top Dog with 3am closing is a local institution.

Small world regarding College Ave Burrito Shop... owned by a friend of mine and my family goes way back with the family of the owners wife... founded in 1978

That is when I came down... 79-82 timeframe.

You probably met David... hard working guy all through High School.

By the way... I called him when I was Kubota shopping as he had bought a B20 for his property in the foothills...

We talked about old times and his endorsement of Kubota sealed the deal and not long after I picked up my BX23...

An amazing view for me would not include human made structures of any kind. The only thing I can see in the distance is a couple of radio towers and that's too much.

I used to feel that way, also. I made a comment to that affect while visiting my grandfather years ago in the hospital and he disagreed immensely. His view from his bed looked out over the city which had supported him and his family for 80 years.

If I'm reading right, I don't think you'll want your acetylene cylinder to be at a 45 degree angle, it could draw up acetone into the regulator and bad things happen. They recommend letting one stand for 24 hours if it has to be transported laying down.

Correct. I rethought my design and mounted the O2 on a 45, giving me room to mount the acetylene standing up straight.
