Seems a shame to sit at home and not enjoy this nice weather. What are the rest of you doing?

Been out enjoying it by driving the Corvette - 9,700 thoroughly enjoyable miles in 7 months...

I was overdue for a sunburn this summer so headed over to Moses Lake this morning where it was supposed to be 95. Didn't quite make it while I was there.

I understood the Leavenworth tour was going to depart North Bend at 8:00. I went by the last exit east at 7:56 and expected to be passed by a herd of Corvettes between there and Cle Elum but never saw them. I even slowed down a bit.

Got my annual burger fix at the XXX on the way back. Lots of people but not much to look at in the way of rides.

Had thought I'd get up early enough to dust off the Aero Lightweight (one of 42)and head out to Tacoma for the Corvette extravaganza. Decided instead to drive down to RTC and rake in the Erotics at the Town Center.

Seemed like a fairly small turnout but there were a few nice Corvettes on show. Worth the short drive from Plateaupia.

Thought maybe I'd drive out to Snohomish for the Saturday afternoon gathering in Clearview, but couldn't talk my co-signer to come along. Ended up at the Casino instead. Had a good time, but it was enough to remind me I was never going to win enough on a nickel poker machine to buy a new C7.

So, tomorrow should be a free day. I told my crew mates that I was not going to crew on the Atlas at Tri-Cities so they made me promise to stay near the phone in case I needed to go take some parts to keep the boat running through the weekend. So far, so good.

So, what's on the schedule for tomorrow?
