Red Tide
County officials have issued a health advisory yesterday for red tide off local beaches. The advisory warns beachgoers of the algea bloom's toxin, which can attack the lungs & eyes. It's an annual "nature" thing that just happens. 
But you guys are not going to the beach anyway, right?

I havent been there in years honestly. It used to be a 1/8 track but suppose to convert it to a 1/4 track. I dunno if they finally converted it or not.

Joe Public always gets a charge out of us. Our members have some great rides. BTW, we have made reservations for Friday night at 7:00 at the Ocean Club which is supposed to be just across the highway from the complex. They have a private room for our club. I hear there is live music and a great dance floor? Maybe we can stumble back to the wharf later that night.

Nature calling
This red tide thing (earlier post #24) has gotten worse. Thousands of fish killed by red tide are washing up on beaches along the Gulf and the Bay per the paper.

Weather forecast for next week looks great, a lot better than what we're currently getting.

I don't have a Corvette with me at the beach on this trip, but I'm figuring on coming by the show to take a look at the cars on display. See 'ya there!

The current count for pre-registered cars is 205. I've been told you can register the day of show. The forecast calls for a high of 82 and sunshine all day.

We're looking forward to it! Order some beautiful weather for us. We are supposed to get some bad needed rain here this upcoming week. We are in drought conditions, can't even wash our cars! If you see a bunch of nasty corvettes on the road that'll be us! Just need beautiful Friday SATURDAY and Sunday..and a car wash!
