The weather would keep most Cruisers away. About 20 or so would actually
stay to the end. So I really don't know what to call it. Half Cruise?
Half Rain Out? Or a lesson for the pessimists? It was still a good night
out with friends.
It was raining heavily when "Mustang Mike" and I talked on the phone at
3:30. He decided that he would come over in his Truck and leave the
trailer at home. See, who would show up, if anyone. Linda & I arrived
just after 4:00 and parked under the canopy at the Sonic. The rain had
let up in this part of town but it did look like we would get more.
John, KG4BFJ, had been ahead of us on the highway and said it was
pouring at Indiana and 13th just a few blocks away to the West. Bob was
the first to arrive in his SSR. The 3 of us headed for the Sonic for
something to eat and wait to see if anyone was going to show up. It
didn't take long and Ron parked his Caddy in his favorite spot. Roger,
actually in a Cruiser!, parked it next to him. Troy arrived in his
Camaro. Then Bob in his '68 Chevelle followed by Nick in his '32 Ford
with Ashley and Daniel, Fran would join them later. The 3 Stooges parked
the '64 Corvair, the '65 Mustang and the '36 Ford "Humpback" next to one
another. Mike & Kristen arrived in their '64 Corvair, and parked under
the canopy. John, KG4BFJ, arrived and joined us at the sonic. A little
while later we would move the 2 Corvairs to our favorite spots. Roy
showed up in his '64 Ford convertible. Doc came out in Suzanne's
Charger. Dick & Jackie came out in the daily driver, still working on
his 2+2. Hank was out in his Baja Bug. Al parked his Model A next to us.
Paul was out in his daily driver, Bill in his Blazer. We all wanted to
have a 50/50 so "Mustang Mike" and Bob headed to get the trailer.
We had entertainment for the last hour, it is always a lot of fun when
ever we get together. Because of the small turn out we decided not to
advance the "Cruise-Matic" or choose a "Cruiser of the Week" and just
give all of the proceeds out in the 50/50 drawing. $45 was split into 5
prizes along with the regular "Beef O'Bradys" and Whistle Junction
giveaways and one drawing for the other $45. Not bad for a small group!
Kristen, Cruiser #456, who also appeared on last weeks cover had the
winning ticket for the $45. Congratulations.
"Mustang Mike" reminded us of the Whistle Junction Cruise on Monday
night and mentioned that Lenny's would like to have a monthly on a
different Monday as well. Then he told us about the "Main Street Grill"
Cruise on the 3rd Saturday Downtown Saint Cloud.
As always a Big Thank You! To:
The BOA (Bank) Staff for using the spots along 13th Street -
AutoZone - Beef O’Brady’s -
Sonic - Sonny’s (Pleasant Hill Road) - Saint Cloud NAPA - Whistle Junction
and all those that continue to

every week.
Here are a few photos.
