I see a 928 just all the time. Can't find any info on their car show. The online calendar is blank.

Stijn!!





Yes that is the horse shoe. It would make a game of horseshoes a lot easier.

We went to the ranch where all the Budweiser Clydesdale horses are bread.



They had two horse puppies!

They did have free Budweiser for everyone at the end of the tour.

After that we went to a winery, and had lunch. Then drove home. We did find a spot in the underground parking garage. Score.

Tonight is the Concours dinner. Business casual, for other business. My business casual is my boxer shorts, and a old t-shirt. Business formal is shorts and polo shirt with a button and my company logo on it, which is what I wore today to for the drive. The bosses wife and decreed real slacks like Dockers and a real shirt with all the buttons, and no logos. That is pretty much my formal look for weddings or funerals.

I can not imagine what it would take for me to put on a tux. I did it for my brother’s wedding 45 years ago because I was best man. I am way past the age off friends getting married in formal weddings.
Now the weddings are very casual.

Not of the class or political activism to actually own a tux. Glad too, some of them I have had the occasion to wear were very bright colors, my prom being one of them. There were a few banquets, and weddings that my attendance required formal attire, but no funerals.

For my brother’s wedding way back then that asked me to wear a tux and be best man. My parents and the grandparents were there. So I relented. They are still happily married after all these years, and I think it must be because I wore a tux. Yea, that’s the ticked. It was because of me!

Last night I gave up on the concours banquets at 10:30. They had not even started to do the awards presentation as yet. I bet it went until midnight.

Probably all the fancy deserts that made the banquet go so long. You need to petition the have a 10pm pumpkin clause added to the speaker's agenda.

At least you are the guys cleaning up and not getting cleaned up after.

We did a leadership test for work. Evidently I am a grumpy old man.

Says these are my priorities.

Resolute, deliberate and commanding.
