Dream Cruise 2024

I heard the first rumble of the tailpipe this morning at 6:45am.  The Dream Cruise is starting.  Looks like the rain all hit in the middle of the night.  Should be smooth sailing for the most part.  Don't have much interest in such things currently.  My six year old Ford Fusion gets me around and thats good enough.  Really don't have the longing for a classic '57 Chevy anymore.  It strikes me that nearly all of the participants are now white haired or without hair trying to summon up what's left of their testosterone thru the shifters and rumbling exhausts.  When these guys complete their last rodeo, who will take over this event?  Big batteried electric cars simply don't have the appeal.  And they are nearly noiseless.  

The apartment is making progress.  The floors are in.  It is a wood appearing planks that are stuck down, kind of a mat finish.  Makes the space seem larger.  Sound proofing insulation has been installed to be inspected on Monday.  We have a new sump pump and backup pump as well.  Need absolute assurance that the space stays dry.

Andrew and Stephanie are in AL for the memorial service for her mother.  We have our lodger dog Sweetums with us.  Loves the long walks and It took a while for her to find food she likes.  Sleeps under the covers in our bed.  Her and Harry get along famously.  

It's going to be a loud day with all the cars up and down Woodward.  Traveling east, crossing the avenue
will be nearly impossible as it is every year.  Oh Well.

all for now

stay patient and safe
