It’s Friday! I’m heading down to Effingham, Illinois, for MidAmerica Motorworks Corvette Fest this weekend. A few thousand Corvettes converge on Effingham this time every year and it’s one hell of a sight. There’s good food, tech seminars, parts, installations, and of course, gazillions of Corvettes! As a huge Corvette fan, this is my absolute favorite show of the year. As always, I’ll take plenty of photos at the show and feature them here on my site next week.

And speaking of automotive goodness, last Sunday I checked out a car show at the Joliet Municipal Airport. There were a couple hundred cars in the show and they ranged from old to new. I took a few photos of my favorites and put them into a gallery below. Enjoy the photos and don’t forget that the babes & jokes are doubled every Friday!

It’s Wednesday. The Joliet Municipal Airport holds an open-house every year in September. The public is invited to come in and check out all the aircraft and car show. There’s food and you can even take a ride in a variety of planes or a helicopter. The weather was perfect with clear blue skies so there was a lot of people. The girlfriend and I spent a few hours out there Sunday afternoon taking in the sights and snapping a few photos.

So, today I’ll feature photos of the planes and Friday will be the car show. Enjoy…
