Default Bummer!

I was all cranked up for a show today and of course the weather man was right for the one time this year. Not too nice out. Something about sitting hours in the rain at a show that makes it not fun. I vowed after one show that I sat in the rain for hours not to do that again. Oh well there's next weekend.

Of course after a few hours it started to dry out. By the afternoon the sun had come out. Still it would have still been a mess for a 1 1/2 hr. drive to the show. I know they're just a car but it takes a little time to get them ready for a show.

Yup, same lousy weekend up here in NY as well. I kept the Vette in the garage today and used the time to install my MGW short throw!
