64 years ago today, the Edsel was introduced and my Custom 300 rolled off the Dallas assembly line.

Hugh,
Lick your chops on this site, walking in the door at the Dripping Springs location of the Salt Lick.
This was at noon.

Several good things happening this week. Most important is I passed my final prostate test with flying colors. They did a one hour prostate-specific MRI on me Tuesday, and my doctor called and said it didn't show the slightest indication of any issues! Yay!! He said I'm apparently one of the few that just has elevated numbers as a norm.

The '57..........When I had my accident 4 years ago, Grundy wouldn't renew my insurance after the term expired, so I went with Haggerty. The Haggerety policy was almost double what Grundy had been, for the same coverage. Talking to a Grundy agent at the NSRA show, he told me they only check back 3 years, so I would probably be accepted back in the fold. They did!! With Grundy, I increased my coverage to 55k (from 45), have 0 deductible, and 250. towing. With Haggerty, I had no towing, 45k coverage, and my premium was $777. With Grundy 55k coverage, $401 premium!! Just about 1/2!

Got to make a decision in the next hour or so, on upcoming shows/events. This weekend is Goodguys in Fort Worth. The weather is going to be good, although a little warmer than I had hoped @ 90*. Also, this weekend is a hot rod 100 out of Oklahoma City. I did it last year and really enjoyed it. There were about 280 cars last year if I remember correctly.
Lastly, next weekend is probably my favorite. Run to the Inn of the Mountain Gods, in Ruidoso, NM, Cool mountain weather, tall pines, a lake, and a casino right at the car show. Problem is, I just checked the weather, and the 10-day forecast is showing a 45% chance of thunderstorms the whole weekend. The show is in a grassed area next to the lake and casino/resort, at the bottom of a long slope. Not going to be good if it does rain heavy.
Those are the last 3 main events I have on my calendar, but I have to watch my spending, so I need to choose one only. If I skip both events this weekend in favor of the Ruidoso show next weekend, and it rains, I won't be a happy camper.

A 45% chance isn't likely to be wet. If you skip both this weekend and it goes up you won't be happy. But...if you skip that one and do one of these and then it goes down for NM...you won't be happy.

Wasn't I helpful? LOL!!! Glad I could help you with your decision.

Good news on the exam and the insurance.  Now about the shows,  I agree with Hugh!

If your wipers work and you take rain gear, it won't rain...guaranteed.

It is an adventure!

Decided on a one-day only at the Goodguys in Fort Worth. Leaving in an hour or so.

had a great trip. Nice weather, big crowd, no issues with the car. We did have a little extra excitement when a vendor's food truck caught on fire. Sent black clouds hundreds of feet in the air...and then their propane tank blew sending a fireball up a hundred feet or so. Big crowds in the area that got cleared out really fast. I heard only a few minor injuries from shrapnel. I googled for info, and they only showed the fire, not the explosion. I was probably a 1/4 mile from it with a building in between, but still felt a little shockwave.
754 mile roundtrip. Oh, had a great stop at a casino on the way down.....1200+!
