Yup, finally back. I bought Donn's Mag Red Cpe and I got Root Beer on my mind.

So, what did I miss while I was gone?

Hey! Great to see you back. We've had a few cruises to XXX, a tour of Mossyrock Dam, and a tour of the shipyard where Peabody works.

Last Sunday some of us met at XXX for the annual Spring opening. Lots of great looking hotrods there along with several Vettes.

See ya around...

I rolled the car out today and gave it a wax between showers. Boy, oh boy, did I miss that.

I really did want to go to the boat factory. Can't remember why I missed, but I know I had my mind set on it. Too long aog to remmber,

Hey man welcome back!! Yep, too bad you missed the tour of the boat shop although I did post a lot of pics several months ago under what I think is now the socal forum. We probably had about 25 cars show up that day from all over the Seattle area.

In fact for those of you who were on the tour, the Hovercraft is being lifted out of the factory and into the watter tomorrow
