September 29th

The day started off all Sunny! Well it seems that maybe this was only at our house. Then not. This Florida weather this year really is hard to figure. It is suppose to be Autumn and it was once again in the 90's.This means the weather pattern was like a normal Summer one. It was bound to rain somewhere.

After I washed both of our Cruisers, I was on the phone and IM with other Cruisers wondering trying to guess just what the weather was gong to do. With this in mind we headed out to Sonic in Saint Cloud. There were some dark clouds all around but it looked like it was clear over "Our" part of the parking lot at Wal-Mart next to the Sonic.

The Cruise-In started out rather slow, then I think most people just plan decided that they wanted to Cruise! By the closing ceremonies we had more than 75 cars that joined in with us. Including lots of Corvettes with "Mid-Florida Corvettes". they have been coming out for the last Cruise-In of the month in force the last few months.

Bob Nagro was parked in the "Cruiser of the Week" spot tonight as there really wasn't a Cruise-In last week. It was once again announced that Sharon DeBlasio was heading up the "Bake Sale" for the Halloween Cruise. Please, if you would like to be involved get on her list.

It sure was nice seeing all the cars out tonight, it is such a diverse bunch of Automobiles as well as People. Big John had his flavor of the week out as usual, this week it was a great looking '57 Chevy Belair. We never quite know what he is going to have out. Big Jim and Norma brought out the Pro-Street Ranchero, Steve & Cheryl had their '63 Ranchero parked in his normal spot. Tony and Sharon had the '69 Red 390 Ranchero out too. Tom and Edna Adams had out that great 8 door Greenbrier out tonight. There were just do many great cars out it would take me all night to mention them. You just have to make sure that you make the Cruise-In to appreciate them all. Everything from Model A's that The Wendling's and Hood's dove out. To a Anniversary Model Limited Edition Thunderbird that Jim DiCecco brought to the Cruise-In.

Jim & Craig "The Dukes" stopped by and sang us a few songs, they had available their latest CD. They autographed many for the Cruisers that purchased them. These guys are really fans of their fans! Thanks guys.

The 50/50 of $118 went home with Greg Cordero Cruiser 603, well most of it did anyway, he donated back $20 to next weeks prize fund.

The Trivia Question was answered correctly by Al Wendling, he received the $10 Beef O'Brady's certificate.

The $225 "Cruise-A-Matic" grows to $250 next week because Greg Lindburg Cruiser # 437 was not present tonight. Awwwwww.

"Cruiser of the Week" went to Cruiser # 632 Ed & Evelyn Booher with their '63 Corvair Convertible.

Just remember, Mud Daubers build nest very quickly and they like hoses and pipes, even in float assemblies.

Dan Z. Not the J!

Here are a few photos from tonight.

Congratulations to all the winners and see you at the "AutoZone" Saturday Morning! Then of course out to Old Town...
