Default Wife and I went on a cruise.....
left at 1030 this AM and just got home, so 3 hours, top down sunny Florida weather, took off both sweatshirts long about 1115 or so, wife's hair got blown around but good......

Vette finally ran good, enough for me to modify the fuel pressure regulator to get it into form.....



so 3 hours in the car, just a pleasant day in the Floriduh breeze....

The Mustang was looking quite shaggy because of the pollen and shitty weather here lately. It got the full spa treatment to include a paste wax job. Right at 80 degrees here and 50 percent humidity... it was a pleasant way to spend 4 hours! Now for a beer.

After I did the yard I took my vette out for a cruise in the country. First time driving since last November.

I just fired up Knievel mobile to take a little run. It has been awhile so it is just rumbling in the garage. Mrs.Bot just rolled her eyes.

Wasn't it amazing how you could travel from Orange PArk into Jacksonville via Blanding in less than 10 minutes? That has never happened in the history of this town.

Yeh, the traffic was light for sure, made driving easy going......of course over the Buckman was an 80 mph sprint to keep up with traffic.....they keep screwing around with them merge lanes though....not that I give a shit.....

but 13 south was really nice....even wife did not recognize lots of the scenery.....been a while.....20 years of growth in the region will do that....I did recognize a few spots I not seen in some years++++......

Took the wife shopping today. Was kinda cool and overcast, so we took the truck. The truck needed gas, which is the real reason we took that. Filled up at Sam's Club for $1.859 / gallon.
