The rain, if we get it depending on which way the wind blows, may be a good thing. The pollen is already flying around here.

I made several trips walking around today. Make sure you get some of those cashews to snack on. They are awesome.

Here are a few pics I took today.

As it turned out, we got that slight chance or rain on a few occasions.
Glad to report, no Vettes melted due to the rain.
See you tomorrow.

The auction and seeing the cars was a welcome break for me. We got out of there just before the clouds opened up. Looking forward to the next Expo. Stay safe everyone!

I hope everyone had a good time.
the weather in March is always iffy.
We had a bout 50+ cars at the Friday night cruise. the rain threat kept hte numbers down. The view at the "zip line, over look" was fantastic. A double rainbow appeared right after we arrived. As usual a couple of drivers got lost.
