Default Performing Arts Car Show

Went down to Coolidge, Arizona Saturday morning for a car show fund raiser they were having. It was for the Performing Arts in the area. Turns out it got to 93 degrees so most of the people and their cars stayed home. I counted between 21-25 cars there. Kind of a bummer but it was still a fun time. I didn't do any video but just took pictures since it was small. Only had a couple cars in my class and the others were a bit older. Even had a guy in a '70 Chevelle that was suppose to park next to me say "I don't park next to new cars." I thought we were all car people but he's obviously not. Anywho, enjoy the show. Can't wait for next Saturday. Got into a show at the Mesa Falcon Field Airport. Old war birds and some other general aviation stuff I'm sure. Hope it turns out good.

Congrats on the award. Even though there were only a few cars, many of them looked great.

Yeah I'm hoping I'm not setting myself up for a disappointment with the next show. I'm really looking forward to the old war birds there. Maybe get a shot or 2 with them and my car. Should be a pretty good one though no matter how warm it gets.

Well, I'm now sitting in the ER with the wife. She was outside in the backyard of our daughters place and her shoe came off her foot just as she was stepping down. It came down on top of the grass edger that was metal and sliced the bottom of her big toe. Now we're waiting to get stitches and whatnot done. The ER is crazy busy for some reason and it's taking FOREVER... I'll post the vid when I get time. Hope to get home by midnight.... ����

So sorry to hear that. I'll say a prayer for her.
Funny how life has a way of reminding us what's really important from time to time.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Thanks. She gets to keep her toe so it's going to be all good. Just time to heal.

The new video is only at 77% loaded right now. I thought for sure it would be done loading when I got up this morning. I'll check back about noon and see where it's at again. Anyone else have any issues with the slow uploading speed lately? This is driving me crazy....
