Took a little local road trip yesterday. I like lighthouses.






I like rock stacks too.



Also this link will take you to some of the cars we saw yesterday. Easy way to link pics without uploading to Photobucket.
Cars & Copters

Lainey

We knew the car show (Cars and Copters), we went to yesterday was crowded, link to pics in above post, but apparently, we got in before they closed the gate. Bits and pieces of the article below. Full Article

Ideal end-of-summer weather, a worthy cause and a low admission price created a perfect storm for traffic gridlock, and car enthusiasts wound up waiting hours to get into a charity car and helicopter show.

But as thousands of vehicles converged on the airport, traffic backed up several miles in both directions on South Meadow Road, forcing Carver police to close the entrance at about 11:30 a.m.

The closure left auto lovers, some in fancy sports cars, scrambling to find roadside parking spots in nearby Plymouth and Carver neighborhoods. They then had to walk to the show, further clogging the roads.

Michael Sheehan said the congestion made it nearly impossible for him to leave his South Meadow Road home.

Samuel Lurie, one of the show’s six organizers, estimated that the show drew at least 3,000 vehicles and about a dozen helicopters – more than twice as many as in 2012.

Thanks, Dave. Didn't get anywhere this weekend. Puttered around with my camera in the yard for a bit yesterday with the macro on the camera. Wanted to grab it when Rick pointed out the praying mantis on Saturday, but a little someone named Ryan was anxious to do other things with Grandma. I had to settle for a couple shots with the usual lens.

Sunday at Huntington Beach. I had an ice chest over my shoulder with lemon bars and brownies for the NSX BBQ. Perfect beach day even if I never ventured down to the water.

Lainey

Beach and brownies sound pretty good to me, right now.

Who's the hottie in this picture?

Kyras

^Oh, you mean Matt Piercy. He sold me my '05 Suzuka baby on Nov. 6, 2004.

I'll always remember the date because it was exactly 4 years after my mom died.

jukngene

No, I was referring to the Suzuka behind you two! Speaking of which, any bites on the car itself, w/o the hardtop?

Kyras

No. I'm going to take the car and hardtop to Ballade tomorrow night so they can exchange the needed hardtop parts between my car and they hardtop buyer's '05 Suzuka. I'll wash my '05 today and hope someone there knows another person looking for my pretty baby. I lowered the price to $16,400 which seems about right for it with the goodies it has and the condition it's in. I put a new battery in it on Friday. The other one was almost 7 years old and sounded like it.
