March 6th, 2008
It was overcast but when Linda & I left
for the Cruise-In we were optimistic about today. The Weatherman said
that there wasn't much chance for rain until later tonight. We arrived a
little later than usual around 4:25, Mike had already parked his DJ rig
in place. Roger, "Scary Larry", was wiping down his Mustang. Bill
A '63 Parisienne parked across from us. "Buffalo Bill" had his '55 Chevy
in the row behind it. Bob B was in his SSR and parked in his favorite

visit, he will have his radio's in his new ride sometime after this
weekend. John made it out in his Samurai 6 Wheeler. Lenn was in his '60

It almost looked like the night was going
to be OK, Dick brought out his 2+2. Bob, with his '68 Chevelle & Nick in
the '32 Ford parked along the front row. Francine was in the Camaro.

grandkids. Larry would be in "ITZA40" he will be with us for just a few
more weeks before heading North. Bob N. was out in his daily driver.
John & Jonathan would be out in the Camaro. Then it happened, a rain
drop, then another, it started to rain. A bunch of us went over to find
shelter at the Sonic. Kevin, KM4FSU arrived as the rain started to RAIN!
We sat for a while had a bit to eat. Graham, G4HFG from Oldham, England
checked in over the radio for some details.
Mike came over about 6:20 and said he was
going to "Call" the Cruise-In, the cars were exiting rapidly from the
Wal-Mart. Oh Well, we tried. 10 chances to Cruise this year and only
managed to get 5 in so far. Let's hope for better weather next week.
