Greetings Group, It's the morning of November 1st.
Halloween is history.
We can turn the porch lights back on.
We hide out these days because we just don't want to keep getting up and down.
Old knees. Besides, we were watching game 6 of the World Series. Go Dodgers.
Game 7 tonight for all the marbles.
I cleaned up Sandy's 1964 AH BJ8 for this month’s event. It's turn for a drive came up. This was our first Healey.
Purchased used in 1969 as Sandy's daily driver because it had a back seat for the kids. That made it a "practical" or "family" sports car.
At least it would be until the kids got a little bigger. I hope they enjoyed being part of our trips to events.
We had a pleasant drive to Riverside and parked among the other Classics that had shown up. We had a good number of cars and people again. A great sampling of Classics. Kevin Spangler's brother Dana was visiting from Washington State. He has a Classic Cadillac El Dorado, but it was at home.
After our usual time in the parking lot, we went inside for a bit of breakfast and sit-down socializing. It’s always fun to see everyone.

The first Saturday in December. We meet at Farmer Boys in Riverside on Alessandro Blvd. at 8am. I hope you can make it. It's hard to believe 2025 is going so fast.
Cheers . . .
