The Old Guys were determined to get just one more show in before the end of the summer, and it was the perfect opportunity for Sonny and I to do a shake-down cruise with the convertibles before the Route 66 trip next month.

So it was off to Eustis, which would give us both a couple hundred miles of cruisin', as well as a great destination!

We arrived Friday afternoon, and...surprise, surprise...there's a Frogger's restaurant right next door to the hotel, and they just happen to have a bar!

We had burgers for lunch, and pizza for dinner. BOTH were done to perfection, and are highly recommended! The rain started at lunchtime, and continued through dinner, finally stopping sometime in the early AM.

Packard Bill arrived Saturday AM, as did Keith and Julie, and Cecil, and we arrived in Eustis well before 4:00 PM. Phil and Nancy were there, as were Rob and Dawn, and Ron Simmons...a serious Mercury gathering!

The show is downtown, and the streets are blocked for display cars. Not only did we spend the evening with good friends, we also saw lots of cars we've never seen before.

Of course, the rains eventually came, as the do almost every day in the summertime, and we decided to re-convene at Frogger's, where they were showing the UFC Chamionship fight on ALL their TV's.

Frogger's was packed...all the tables filled, and two-or-three deep at the bar! The fight was excellent. Couture methodically beat Gonzales to the ground, and we all noticed the announcer calling him an Old Guy several times.

Well, as REALLY Old Guys, we don't see Couture, who is 44, as REAL Old Guy, although in fighting age, he surely is, he WAS retired, and he IS a winner, so we've awarded him Old Guy status in our gang!

We're anxiously awaiting the end of September, when we cruise Route 66, and attend the Festival. And we hope to have a treat for y'all...Bill "Boss Hog" Strall III, live and uncensored from Springfield. Be sure to check back regularly!
