got underway on Friday with a parade that ended up at the Civic Center for their Show and Shine today. Not exactly up to Hot August Night standards in Reno; but, there were quite a few nice old cars that showed up for the event. The parade wound through the parking lot of the defunct K-Mart store and that turned out to be a pretty nice viewing area. We arrived at the parking lot about 1630 and had to wait for about 35 minutes before the first cars showed up. We were entertained by a Canuck from the Vancouver, BC area who was a lot of fun to talk to. He even shared his french fries from the Jack-In-The-Box near where we parked. They had everything from a Rat Patrol Jeep, complete with 50 cal. machine gun, and my favorite, a 1955 (or was it a 1956) Thunderbird with three blonds. Some Old Granny Lady was jammin all by herself in a Chevy and leaving lottsa tire tread in a series of short burn outs. She was a crowd pleaser too! After the parade we had a bite to eat at the JITB and then came on home.
Lazy day today.......we haven't gone anyplace. Frank stopped by this morning......looks like he's almost over the crud and will surrive until Suz gets back from her cruise. He said he's been working on a list of things for her to do when she gets back. Smart move.............I would never have thought of that.
Later. W&B
