I see the bare trees as the beginning of Winter. Fall comes in a redocrates what Summer built. Winter tears it all out. Spring comes in and lays the new foundation. God willing Val, I'll write more about it in seven months.

Like Bill and Rob, I too am glad to see the Dog Days ending. Bring on the cool top down driving - it's the best. I've been re-doing the seats in the MG with the hope of having them done before a meet this Saturday. It's going to be in the low 90s today so it won't be much fun working out in the garage but "duty" calls; besides I want the seats back in when Fall does come for good. We had a little touch of it just before the sky's opened up.
I wish you lived nearby Dave. There are times I could use a hand and some motivation on the Healey.

Speaking of Fall - I posted my interest in going down to GA for the GGG II, assuming it's still a go for Oct 5-7. Who's in??

Don't think we can do it, but I'll check it out when I get back this afternoon. I've gotta get out and run some errands.

Bare trees? What do you mean?

I love that picture. British cars were made to be rallied. Here's one of my old MG that even made it into a calendar. I still miss that car.

Man, I wish Fall would hurry up and get here. I am tired of the 100+ degree days!
