Weather permitting, anyone want to cruise up to the Auto show at the Expo center in hartford?? Should be good weather. We could do breakfast first, or lunch or dinner after. Let me know what your thoughts are.

I will go there but due to my proximity to the show, will not cruise there.

I am flexible.

If something is set up, let me know the day/time/place you are meeting at the show and I will join you there.

Hi Barry, similar to 777 I am pretty close to the place. I may be able to attend depending on the day/time/place. Joaquin

The meat from a 1 1/2lb. lobster cut up in chunks with stuffing a little garlic and about a half stick of butter in a baking dish. Put in a hot oven to put a nice crust on top.
Simply delicious

I will be standing next to the corvette at exactly 1 pm. I will wait 5 minutes.

I set my my clock.

I can always count on you.

You're as funny as Fats Domino singing "Sugartime" in a diabetis ward.

I always try to see things from your perspective but I can't get my head that far up my a$$.

Are you going ? I'll spring for a coca-cola.

Thanks! I had my Phillies hat on last cruise, but you failed to be a part of it, so now I'm just wearing my PATRIOTS HAT!

Well......you did bring up baseball. The New York Yankees are once more World Champions. They were obviously the best team in the American League, and for that matter in the National League.

New York Yankees.....world champions ; I like the ring of that. I'm sorry, I don't recall where your team finished, it was so long ago.

You better wear your Patriot's hat. It's the last team you got.

My Knicks are no where in sight and my Giants will be mortally wounded if they don't win their next game. Woah-is me.

The auto show was good but not great. I saw no one from our group. They had a ZR-1 and a grand sport. The ZR-1 had a sticker of 121,9 ; alot of carbon fiber in that ZR-1. The grand sport was only around 75.

Generally speaking, the cars looked chincy. The doors and uphostery were real thin, the motors were small. I remember my 76 caddy ; 500 cubic inches, the the doors and uphostery were at least 8 inches thick. Those white leather seats were something else. They really don't make um like they use to. The high end cars were not bad but anything under 40 grand is ca-ca, IMHO.
