New Gloucester

We were unable to go to the show in New Gloucester on Saturday, but we can thank Dale Chasse for sending us pix to post on Hotkarz. This is exactly the sort of participation we encourage, and it is the sort of thing that will make HotKarz more fun and of greater value to all. Thanx, Dale. Would like to meet you someday :o)

I do recognize many of the cars in the pictures, so it would seem that the show went off fairly well. And it appears the weather held - at least, according to the pix I have seen.

The little woman and I were in Pittsburg, NH over the weekend. We thought it was time we got to know each other again - our daughter Criss was born 16 years ago, and the wife and I have not had any time alone since. So, this was a nice, well-earned getaway. We planned on doing a lot of nothing, and succeeded in getting most of it done.

We did see several moose, including a cow with two calves (almost as big as herself). We saw them twice, in fact. Since it was the first day of moose season, we were happy to see them all still together as the sun set on 1st Connecticut Lake.

We met a great guy in Pittsburg, through mutual friends who have a store on Lake Francis. This fellow came to Pittsburg to "keep a low profile", and live anonymously. He's building a log home, straight off the land. However, life being what it is (unpredictable), his desire for anonymity has resulted in his becoming a local "character" that everyone knows. He has become almost a legend. I suspect kids will be singing songs about him 'round the campfires for generations to come.

So much for keeping a "low profile."

Well, it's gettin' late and I now have a lot of work to catch up on. Hope you all are well.
