What a CRAPPY Day!

[Karl Bebout]

Darn near, worst day , ever! Was a pitiful 63° when I walked the Big Dog at 6:30, this morning. I was at a conundrum. Shall I sit on my couch and piddle the day away? Shall I go out to the garage and admire my Cobra? May dust it off? Maybe wax it...again?
Ah hell with it. Suited up. Put my darkest shades on and took a drive. Went to Wickenburg, then Yarnell, then Prescott, then Jerome, then Sedona, then headed for home.
9 hours and 362 miles later, I pulled back into the garage. The car had dust on it, some Kamikaze bugs, and probably some more road rash. Christ, what have I done?

You seized the day! Congratulations on LIVING today to the fullest! And remember that road rash is a badge of honor among those who actually drive their cars!

Karlos I feel your pain. I had to set my alarm clock last night so I could get up early enough to pick my daughter up and cruise to the Malibu Cars and Coffee. Went out for breakfast, then off for a leisurely run through the Santa Monica Mountains. Played chase with a Porsche. A miserable 80 degrees and a little windy. Home by 11:00am. I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Darn, now I feel left out. We have had nothing but lousy weather here for the last couple of weeks. Some light rain, lots of heavy mist, a little wind, and just a little to wet and cold to enjoy driving the cars.

Forgot to mention that fortunately, I'd dressed in layers. Was a bit nipply as I gained altitude to 6000' elevation but the roads were clear and dry, the snow in shady spots made me look for non-existent run-off, did not see any LOE's until I was heading home on I17. I'd peeled off the leather coat, after a leisurely lunch in Prescott and was down to a tee shirt for the last 100 miles. According to Accuweather, it had gotten to 83° in Mesa and was a sweet 78° when I pulled into the garage at 5:15.
The day was SOOOOO much better than any excuses I could have come up with for not doing it.

I WANNA DRIVE!!

Congrats for a super day. I am hiding from the cedar pollen here in Austin. We need rain bad.

You've made me jealous!
It's still too cold here in PA.

Pretty nice here in Vegas too. This is the time of year we wait for.

You Arizona guys are killing me! I had mine out Friday night after work (44 degrees)and Saturday afternoon a balmy 50 something. Fun none the less!

Hey Mikie, Hear that.. Karl was out driving his Cobra.. Imagine that. I guess having a snow blower in New Hampshire is pretty much the same as having a Cobra in Arizona. Doesn't get used much during the high summer months.. Ah well. We miss ya.. Just thought I'd throw that in there so you'd know you weren't forgotten..
