Had a great weekend!

https://public.fotki.com/chevelle350/cars/lsru24/The drive in on Friday was good, a little warm, and sunnier than I anticipated so I got my annual "truck tan" (sunburnt red left arm, pink on the back of my neck, normal everywhere else). Went to a fun show/party event on South Congress Friday night and made one pass cruising down Congress on the way back to the hotel.
The show Saturday was good, though attendance was visibly down most likely due to the bad weather that was forecast to disrupt the day. It was cloudy, windy, and cool all day with some mist. Bill found me at the spot where our club had set up for the day at the show Saturday and we chatted, played show-and-tell with my Chevy, and talked about his GMC. It was great to see you, Bill!
It finally started to rain off and on later in the afternoon. We went to a party at Murpho's hot rod shop in Buda, TX where it commenced to pour for a while. Once it slacked off, we had a sketchy drive back to the hotel in light rain and road spray. I am still searching for the magic solution to getting the rain to run off my windshield rather than bead, stick there, and make the headlights blind me at night, though that's a topic for another thread.
Sunday's weather was amazing, one of those days where you have the cowl vent cracked open and the heater going on low at the same time and it's just right. We had a great drive back including a BBQ stop in Lockhart, then back roads through La Grange, Fayetteville, Industry, Bellville, and back to my buddy's shop in Hempstead for a short visit before my last leg to Spring. My little truck performed near flawlessly.
