The day's weather is fantastic, The STS-123: Endeavour is due home to
KSC today while we are at the Cruise-In. It was waived off but we heard
the twin sonic booms as we turned on to our street about 8:30.
Linda and I arrived just past 4:00, Laura, KI4ZJX was on
the radio for her long trip from the "Green Swamp" to the Cruise-In.
Paul was the next to arrive in his '58 DeSoto then Bill in his '81
Blazer. Nic was there in his '68 Firebird convertible. Bill the
Photographer was out tonight, he is taking his better half out for her
birthday tomorrow night. "Scary Larry" would then park his '86 Mustang
in it's place of honor. Ron A, in his '61 Caddy was followed in to the
lot by Dick in his
2+2 Mustang, they parked in the front row. "Lucky
Louie" was out in his '52 Ford, parked just where he likes it. Ron H was
the next to make his way in, he parked his
'30 Ford Tudor next to our
'60 Ranchero. "Cousin John" stopped by in his daily driver for a little
while.
Most of the Cruisers were inside "Bites" for something to
eat, Roy arrived in his '64 Galaxie 500 XL and joined them. It was a
little later when Jim brought his '67 GTO
in and parked it just West of
the DJ rig. Fred form Michigan joined us tonight, a short 10 day stay
this time but he will be back in May. Then Andy brought his '79 deVille
in and parked just down from us, following him was the "Wookie" in his
'83 Mustang. Laura parked her Firebird next to Jim after that long ride
up from the "Swamp". Steve & Charlie were right behind her in the
'77
deVille. Emma then made her way out to the Cruise, I didn't see when
Danny made it out but there he was. Nic left in his Firebird so it left
a spot open in "Pontiac Row", well it was called that tonight. "Big Jim"
made a surprise visit in his
'88 Beretta, you know that one with
radically modified, drive train. He has been very busy with out of town
guests the last few months. Just before 7:00 Al parked his Model A next
to Laura. Jackie was out for a while to see Dick and visit for a little
while.
It was 10 minutes after 7:00 by the time George made it
to his parking place, the last to arrive.
Jim Rouse, Cruiser #209 had the winning ticket for the
$40 50/50, his number was also drawn for the $10 "Cruise-A-Matic". Next
week it starts over at $10.
"Cruiser of the Week" went home, all the way to the
"Green Swamp" with Laura Pennington, Cruiser #73 in her '98 Firebird.
