So I decided to do the stopover in Berkeley to partake at the Sierra Nevada Brewery's Torpedo Room. Had a blast there and I headed for my connection to Richmond on the 546. Had a good beer buzz going and completely missed my stop and got off at Martinez. The conductor wrote a message on a seat check and punched it.
So I was at the Martinez station for the first time. Turns out the 717 (San Joaquin) is about an hour late and will arrive before the 551. So I wander around the station and even outside for 40 minutes. The 717 gets here and I show my note to a conductor, who lets me on. So many I'm late getting home, but I have an hour or so more to get over my beer buzz. Also, this isn't a California car. It's a single level car with reclining seats.
At least I didn't miss my stop on an LD train.
