what a beautifull day for a car show.
i hit the road early, drove through fog & mist with intermittent wipers for 1.5 hours, made it to XXXrootbeer and had a blast.
it was great to see & hang out with mike, simone, lanny, darren, mirko, chris, courtenay, tom, mark, que, annie, et al. the turnout was great, the location was pretty cool (talk about nostalgia, one could get lost in that diner looking at all the stuff on the walls), and the weather was phenominal.
i won a 10lb box of bacon in the raffle. mike politely pointed out that i would have trouble getting that across the border (\"do you have anything to declare, son?\") so i unfortunately had to decline the prize and settle for a XXXrootbeer t-shirt.
congrats to que, annie, and all the other folks that put together the show and handled the CFTC raffle. great people, great cause. kudos to all of you that were involved.
