    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!!

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

    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...

    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
