Don't feel badly David. Although I made it to the 25th British Invasion in
Stowe, Vermont, afew eekends ago, it was wet and muddy for a goodly portion
of the time, although we enjoyed a respite during the Saturday and Sunday
on-the-field show! The parade run through Smuggler's Notch was wet,
however.
Also, the annual foreign car conclave at the Owl's Head Museum here on the
Maine coast near Rockport was a washout. Yuk. Tomorrow is the York
Harvestfest car show, and we're keeping the ol' fingers crossed, but the
rain is pounding on my window as I type this note.

Hey, Isn't this supposed to be prime AH weather time???? Here in RI, we
have
had 2 weeks of cloud, mist, rain, deluge, drizzle, downpour, fog, and more
rain. --More consecutive days of rain than since May 2000, with all time
record rain totals--by far!
Last night, my Grand Cherokee was almost swallowed up on one of the back
roads
near here. --and trailer queen or not, I'm not taking the Healey out to see
if
it can double as a "Shwimvagen" or "duck boat". --With pontoons maybe.
Everything is sticky, damp, soggy, and waterlogged. The drains are backed
up,
toilets slow, --welcome to "Waterworld".
--Just when I had the Healey running properly, and primed for some fall
tours
too!! --It did give me the chance to replace the generator front bearing
that
I'd been putting off. --Hey it only sounded a little like a coffee grinder!
I
may even get the gas gauge fixed, and throw away the measuring stick I have
had in the garage...
Anyway, I just wanted to vent. Prime Healeying season, literally going down
the drain. Please, some sun, ---before the snows come.
(All of this with apologies to Healey friends in Mississippi, Louisiana, and
Texas). --All things are relative.
IF we ever see the sun again, here in New England, --are there any organized
LBC fall tours, foliage tours, or meets/meetings going on?
