    It will drizzle some. Then it will be over cast. Then it will sprinkle.
    Bottom line: the pavement will never be fully dry.



    I do hope to get my truck on my road about then, at which point I will do a cruise to all of the ****s locations. That may not happen but regardless go to a ****s and get a ****s Deluxe for $2.40(?) Its delicious!

    Seattle still has a great live music scene. Go check out a show at the Tractor Tavern in Ballard or the Highway 99 Blues Club downtown. Two of my favorite places.

    might have some wind too! All part of the annual slug festival from sept until june. Great time of year - IF YOU ARE A FIR TREE - except maybe for the wind part. Tree tend to tip over then. Oh, and the music scene is good and inside as well.

    Well, all the talk about wind and RAIN is correct. But I think you where talking about car events,huh! I just pulled out my show schedule and see that Nov 13 thru 15 is Motor Sports 2009 at the Tacoma Dome/Exhibition Hall Phone 253-858-8739 for info. Tacoma is a little less then an hour south on the I-5 from Seattle. I don't have a clue what the theme of this show is but its maybe somethin.

    If you've never been to Seattle before then you'll need to go down to the Space Needle, take in that whole area...the Music Experience is there, wander over to Pike Street Market, Pioneer Square, all that jazz. Take the ferry over to Bremerton and check out the shipyards.

    But the one thing you should really do is check out the LeMay car museum:

    The rain in the pnw doesn't slow us down a lot we just switch to the rod that has fenders if we have one.


    The Ballard/Fremont are has plenty going on especially if the weather is good. Not hot rod related but good bars and good food along that stretch and enough presentable ladies to keep your orbs busy.

    Tourist things, The space needle as mentioned, The Ballard locks to watch the boats lock through and the fish ladder window to watch some interesting fish swim by and it's free. The aerospace museum if you like airplanes. The Lemay museum if you like restored cars.

    the garage tour and the breakfast sound like things to hit to be able to put faces with the board names.

    Some of the suggestions will depend on how much free time you have or give yourself.
    The air museum takes a few hours to really see everything. I'm not sure about the Lemay Museum but I'd say a long day would be required to really see it.

    As mentioned earlier don't even think of going to Pioneer square at night alone. Too many thugs just looking to hit someone over the head without reason or being provoked. Daytime is ok but too far from Shoreline for a quick lunch run.

    He is right I went to one this summer i heard about by word of mouth. It was the guys place with the ferrambo(ferrari drivtrain+rambler wagon).

    If you are gonna go downtown get directions first online or by gps. I think its rated one of the worst cities to navigate. Half the streets are one way and since we got shore and hills nothing is a grid.

    I still say go to ****s. The lake city one will be closest.

    The seattle international auto show is on now or will be soon. Ya its OT but you could get one of those H.A.T.E. (hot rodders against the enviromentalists) stickers and stick it on a prius. :D
