Default A good day.......

After being snowed in for months I was able to get the car out and wash the dust off of it and take a little road trip.

My son was home for the week end and we had a great visit on the way back to school.

I forgot how much I enjoy this car.

Beautiful here today, but now all the snow is melting and the streets are a mess. Hopefully by the weekend the roads will be dry and I can get mine out.

Stop it, you're killing me. It was 55 today here (but Defcon One level dirty, so not out yet).

Supposed to be like 60 in a few days, thats way warm enough to wash it before I put it away so it may just get out then......one can only hope.

Gotta say though, the long stretches near zero up here this year heaved the end of my driveway. Vette used to slide right up coming in, no way now. Gonna have to be real careful and grab a few bags of blacktop to fill in the gaping step there now until the town gets around to fixing it.
