January 17th 2008
It looked like it was going to be an OK day, the
weatherman said that we might get a little rain. So we headed out to the
Sonic. Bill, N2WFU and the boys along with his friend George were in the
old Radio Car on their way to the Cruise-In at the same time we were.
"Mustang Mike" pulled into the parking lot just after 4:30. Larry would
then bring out his '64 Galaxie. Bill E. would be in his '55 Chevy,
parked along 13th street, Bob arrived in is SSR and Ron A would bring
out his '61 Caddy just before Paul arrived in his Ram. Graham, G4HFG
from Oldham, England would check in over the radio. Don, KC9DFK from
Chicago also connected up to say hello to all the Cruisers. He had
visited with us over the Christmas season. Brian stopped by in his
company car to pickup his newsletter. "Scary Larry" came over in his
daily driver to take George to see his Mustang that was at home. George
was looking for one, the result is that it was just too much car.
Anyway, the rains started and stopped then started. Paul left, Larry
left, Mike called the Cruise-In at 5:30. Linda & I sat around for about
a half hour and took a lot of calls to see if it was canceling or not.
Laura, KI4ZJX was on her way from Lakeland and was disappointed that we
didn't Cruise. So were we.
The "Cruise-A-Matic" remains at $100 and no "Cruiser of
the Week" was chosen. Unfortunately we do get Rained Out from time to
time.
Tony, K4AVD called in from Wisconsin over the radio to
join us but we were already on our way home. Anyway, he tried to be with
us.
We'll try it again next week.
Here are a few photos.
See you all "Out There".
