    Finally, after a brutal winter here in southern Ohio, we had a great weekend. 70's and almost the 80's with no humidity. After all of my yard chores, I dusted of the cobwebs, started up the Chevy and got to go cruisin'. The first time out after nearly 5 months is a great feeling. Lots of motorcycle, convertibles and late models out with the same idea. Here's a few shots in the park after a long winter's sleep. Did anyone do the same?

    Today, as of 1:00 PM, in ColoRODo, we are getting snowed on...forecasters are calling for 4-7 inches before noon tomorrow. Yesterday (Saturday) it was 72 degrees and we were out cruising the '60 wagon enjoying our "Spring"...

    Enjoy your brief Spring, the storm is coming your way...!!!

    Yep, got the coupe out and cruised to Clayton, New Mexico for the best mexican food in the five state area. Also pulled a small cargo trailer that we rebuilt over the winter. Trailer pulls great. If you have ever travelled in a Model A coupe you know how much you need the extra room. Always fun getting the first drive after a long winter. Will be heading to Port Aransas in the coupe in a few days. Wish us luck, that will be a long drive. Cant wait.

    Harleyjohn45, we enjoy the "Rabbit Ears Cafe" in Clayton. Named after the mountain north of town. Couple of miles south of the downtown intersection. What part of NM are you in?
