Friends,
This is going to be a big photo blort, so pardon the lack of commentary. It’s been a long weekend, but I thought that the pictures needed to go up right now. By the way, you can click on each picture to see a larger version in a new window…
A bigger smile you’ll not easily see. What he needs is his very own helicopter. Thankfully, they have plenty at the newly christened Naval Base Coronado. I remember when it was North Island Naval Air Station. The link still shows up on the google, but it redirects a couple times now. Enough geekery. On to the real reason we went to Coronado…
Vintage auto racing on the airstrip. It was Fleet Week and each of the last seven years, there’s been a race out there at the air station. Big names show up…
That includes this guy, who tops off his radiator with bottled water. Fancy!
…and these ladies who dine while staring at the rear end of an MG. Charming!
…and this woman who spends her weekends beating up on the guys.
We didn’t watch too much racing because it was way too loud for a certain someone, despite the earplugs. Saturday was full of practice and qualifying anyway, so there wasn’t too much on the line. Lots to see though, and that turned out to be enough.
The big story today was also transportation related…
All three dogs are now at the Lodge. They didn’t hate each other during the drive, but they sure hate each other now and I’m not really sure how I’m going to handle it. More later (if I’m not mauled in my sleep).
Your pal,
bob
