This weekend we loaded up the Cobra and headed to the lake for Labor Day. It was the first long trip with the car. It was a blast. The curvy mountain roads are what that car was built for. And there isn't a more beautiful setting for a nice drive. It was a little chilly in the open roadster once the sun went down, but that was overcome with jackets, and the heater.

On Sunday we headed into Lake Placid for the 27th annual Olympic Car show put on by the Lake Placid Ski Club, a not-for-profit organization which provides programs that teach children how to ski. These programs take in the beginners through the Olympic skiers.

I know, it's been too long since I have posted anything new. It's been a busy summer. Time really has flown by the past few months. Summer isn't over yet, but I thought I would do a quick review of what we have been up to so far. I'll even include a few pre-summer activities. Of course the review is in photo form, so here we go...

So I left the teaser for you over the weekend. I promised an update once the mid-life-crisis purchase arrived. It was supposed to be here Monday, and I would have had an update yesterday, but instead it showed up yesterday.

Here is a picture of it before it came off the truck.



This one is of me driving it through the parking lot where it was unloaded. Notice it doesn't even have a license plate yet.



And here I am giving Rich one of the first rides after getting plates.



The weather was iffy all day,a nd I didn't have much time to get out with it, so I am sure there will be some better pictures coming soon. I think a cruise up to thatchers park on a nice day sounds like a good idea.

There are some more pictures from the previous owner and builder in the gallery

Well the mid-life crisis purchase is finally on it's way. It took longer than I expected it would. I gave you this picture as a tease a couple of weeks ago.

              

So today I will give you another teaser. This was taken at around 9:30 am this morning in Jacksonville Florida. Something was being loaded onto this truck. I cropped the something out of the picture for now... you'll get to see it next week when it arrives here and it gets unloaded.



Hopefully Tuesday the update will be posted.
