RUN TO THE SUN

The 33rd annual Run to the Sun, sponsored by the Rods and Relics car club is happening this weekend here in Lake Havasu City. This is a fairly large event as Rod Runs go, and most of the cars were displayed yesterday afternoon & evening on Main Street. Just under 1,000 cars are registered, and it's always fun to check them out. Patty and I, along with a huge crowd were walking up and down the closed street yesterday afternoon, where all the cars were displayed.

This event kicked off on the 20th to some pretty heavy thunder storms, but it cleared out, and the weather is now mostly sunny, with temperatures in the 80's. We've been busy around the house, and Patty is getting everything together for her trip to Greece in a couple of weeks. She will be driving to Calif. where she and her son David will catch the bus from Sonora to San Francisco on Nov 4th. Then, it will be a long flight to Athens, Greece. When she returns, we'll have a couple of weeks at home, then we're off to work the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas for the 9th year. When our old company lost the contract, we thought we were finished with the NFR. The new company, to their credit, picked up most of us old timers, and along with our friends Jim & Megan, we'll be in the same booth inside the Las Vegas Convention Center, from Dec 2nd through Dec 11th.
