Route 66 Days



Saturday, being my last day of vacation, I decided to head up out of the heat to Flagstaff for the day to attend the Route 66 Days car show. A few other gallant (and smart) souls headed up as well, and we were treated to a grand day of cool weather, very cool cars, and general frivolity! We started by having lunch on the patio of the Lumberyard Brewing Co., with spicy wings & cold microwbrews - woo hoo! Then it was on to several hours of looking at some awesome vehicles. My Porsche & Mustang clubs were both in attendance, with the 'Stang club really turning out in numbers! We took a respite for my ankle, then continued to gaze (along with hundreds of other people) at the cars. After this, my friend Barry took us to a local new restaurant which a former client of his had opened, and my what a treat. Exceptional food and beverage, I have to say - thanks Barry for the dinner and drinks! Then it was back down the hill to Phoenix, but the sun had gone down and the temperature was once again nice. All in all, a great way to spend a Saturday.
100+ more pics of the day's events in the photo album!

Labor Day @ the Ozarks

Just got back from a great time - spent a week at Lake of the Ozarks, and got to hang with family and friends. The rain even played along - it rained the first night I got there, and then after I had put the boat up for the weekend. Except for a minor boat problem (easily solved) and a REALLY windy day on Monday, all was perfect! Here a few pics of friends/family I got to see - the rest can be see via the photo albums.
