| Day Three - Cleveland |
Last night, a stanger joined us in the parking lot. This guy, who had apparently drank more than the Old Guys ever did, was convinced I would beat Sonny in the upcoming drag race. He thought since my wagon was running slicks, and was tubbed (how much did he REALLY have to drink?), Sonny wouldn't have a chance, and even as obnoxious as he was, I think he's right!
First thing this morning, the Old Guys did some Preventative Maintenance...Cecil pulled his spark plugs to find out why he's blowing smoke out the left bank, Sonny replaced his radio, Packard Bill replaced his carb return spring (with two paper clips and some rubber bands), and I tried to find the source of my overnight fuel evaporation (no luck).
Later in the afternoon, Kevin and AJ arrived, as did a couple of Packard Bill's sons. We went to the IX Center to register, checked out a few of the cars, and of course, I bought a shirt.
After that, we went to Flaming River Products (steering columns, rack and pinion stuff, and steering wheels) for a cook out and cruise in. We got a tour of the plant, saw some very cool cars, ate, and just after we washed our cars, got rained on big time!
Back at the hotel, we swapped out Cecil's balancer seal, which will hopefully stop the oil leak. It was accomplished WITHOUT the use of power tools, or an impact wrench.
Monte Carlo Bill (Junior) feels we should mention him in the blog. Okay, Bill, you've been mentioned!
Now it's cocktail time...tomorrow the big show begins! And you've gotta love that GPS...we still haven't gotten lost! |
