It’s Monday. Had a great time checking out thousands of Corvettes downstate on Saturday. Unfortunately the weather on Sunday was a wet mess. We had intermittent periods of heavy rain throughout the day, so I hung out indoors taking it easy while catching up on many hours of recorded Mecum Collector Car Auctions. Beer, snacks, and an endless parade of muscle cars is perfect for a rainy crappy day!

I got home Saturday night in time to catch the last segment of the Nascar race in Richmond. I had been listening on SiriusXM during our drive home but it’s so much more satisfying watching Jimmy Johnson lose on my big screen TV.

With a mouth full of delicious candy corn… and a Babemania 50 strong today!

It’s Sunday! We had a great time down in Effingham for the MidAmerica Motorworks Corvette show.  Thankfully the weather was good and there was plenty of Corvette goodness. I don’t know how many cars were there but I saw plates from Illinois, Missouri, Indiana, Colorado, Wisconsin, Ohio, Connecticut, Minnesota, Michigan, Tennessee, Arkansas, Oregon, and Kentucky. No Canadian representation this time. What gives, guys? Snowed in already?

I took an obscene amount of photos at the show. I’ll go through ’em and feature my favorites next week.

Well, I couldn’t help myself, I had to dig into my stash of candy corn. Technically it may be just a tad early, but I’ve already seen houses decorated for Halloween, so there.

It’s Saturday! Went over to my cousin’s shop the other day and picked up my C5. He installed new linkage fasteners at the shifter and on the transmission. I also had him install a new passenger-side headlight motor because the old one started making nasty sounds last year and finally died a few weeks ago. He also waxed and polished it up for me which was nice! It’s running and looking good for the final month or so before it’ll go back into storage as the weather transitions into (brrr!) winter.

We’re heading down to Effingham, Illinois, today for the big MidAmerica Motorworks Corvette show. Thousands of Corvettes converge in Effingham every  year for this gathering. It’s a hell of a lot of fun and I can’t wait to get down there!
