Last 2011 Cruise

We're working around the place today, taking down all of the lights & decorations of Christmas. My part is outside lights, decorations atop the kitchen cabinets (ladder work), and once bare, taking down the tree. Got to a stopping point about 3pm, glanced at the thermometer reading 60F :) and told the wife I'd be back in an hour - taking the '33 for her last cruise of 2011. Did a loop of about 35 to 40 miles, country lanes, skirted town and a blast on K10 divided highway before heading back, windows down and listening to the pipes the whole time. What a great way to being 2011 to an end!!;)

Roger, this remindes me of the that old childrens book, Hotrod, by Henry Gregor Felson, I think I read that as a kid about 100 times. If you`ve never read it, get a copy its kinda of neat, the author lived in our area, Yuba city, so the discriptions of some of the roads I can relate too. They wrote it as if all hotroders will die on the road...:LOL:

I just happened to check to see if I could find a copy on e*bay, typed in his name and they are rereleasing new prints again...cool
