Friday afternoon was one of the now fleeting warm summer days here in Wisconsin. The wife and I hopped in the convertible and drove to one of our favorite places, TJ's Harbor which is south of Oshkosh on the western shore of lake Winnebago. Perfect late afternoon for a beverage and light meal. We meandered back home via highway 45 and passed the Jesuit Retreat house where my father visited every summer. He put about 500 miles per year on the convertible, and 200 of it was driving to his retreat there each summer. I smiled remembering him, humbled by the fact that I now drive the car he always called his 'old man Corvette'.

Haven't driven the '91 Reatta to any cruise-ins or car shows since Wednesday, 8/3. We've been having a record hi heat wave (ninety-five or better) with little-to-no rain on and off going on close to two weeks. Suppose to get real rain via a cold front tonight (8/9) with temps dropping into the seventies on Wednesday. Hopefully, will attend a cruise-in tomorrow and Friday.
