It’s Monday. Had another good weekend. The weather was beautiful on Saturday so I went out to the Route 66 Dragstrip where they were hosting the Super Chevy Show. They had a huge car show, drag races, swap-meet, food, and music throughout the weekend. There was so much automotive goodness that I will have a very hard time picking out my favorites to share with all of you. Aside from the incredible collection of cars, I’d have to say my second favorite attraction was the jet cars. One cannot describe what it’s like of seeing and feeling these things race down the dragstrip at well over two hundred MPH—it has to be experienced. Absolutely unbelievable.
After leaving the Super Chevy Show, I met a friend out at a marina on the Des Plaines river. It was a gorgeous day so there were plenty of people out on the water. It was nice just hanging out and having some drinks while watching an endless parade of boats. In another month or so it’ll be too cold to be out there and all those boats will be put away for the winter. Damn.
My Sunday was fairly uneventful. I caught the Bears/Broncos game which was actually pretty good. They nearly blew it at the end but got it together in time to win 16-14.
Nice Weekend
